Many-body localization (MBL) has emerged as a novel paradigm for robust ergodicity breaking in closed quantum many-body systems. However, it is not yet clear to which extent MBL survives in the presence of dissipative processes induced by…

Floquet systems are governed by periodic, time-dependent, Hamiltonians. Prima facie they should absorb energy from the external drives involved in modulating their couplings and heat up to infinite temperature. However this unhappy state of…
Thermodynamic and dynamical properties of systems with long-range pairwise interactions (LRI), which decay as $1/r^{d+\sigma}$ at large distances $r$ in $d$ dimensions, are reviewed. Two broad classes of such systems are discussed. (i)…

For a class of integrable quantum many-body systems, symmetric AC driving can generically produce a steady DC response. We show how such dynamical freezing can be switched off, not by forcing the system to follow the (arbitrarily fast)…
We give a rigorous derivation of the Hartree equation for the many-body dynamics of pseudo-relativistic Fermi systems at high density $\varrho \gg 1$, on arbitrarily large domains, at zero temperature. With respect to previous works, we…
We propose an energy relaxation mechanism whereby strongly correlated spin systems decay into their ground states. The relaxation is driven by cavity quantum electrodynamics interaction and the decay of cavity photons. It is shown that by…

Time-periodic driving provides a promising route to engineer non-trivial states in quantum many-body systems. However, while it has been shown that the dynamics of integrable systems can synchronize with the driving into a non-trivial…
We discuss the effect of dissipation on heating which occurs in periodically driven quantum many body systems. We especially focus on a periodically driven Bose-Hubbard model coupled to an energy and particle reservoir. Without dissipation,…
