Quantum systems can undergo phase transitions and show distinct features in different phases. The corresponding transport properties can also vary significantly due to the underlying quantum phase. We investigate the transport behaviour of…
The interplay between dissipation, interactions and gauge fields opens the possibility to rich emerging physics. Here we focus on a set-up in which the system is coupled at its extremities to two different baths which impose a current. We…
Mesoscopic capacitances, in the quantum regime, are described as a quantum rotor coupled to a dissipative bath. We analyze the phase diagram of this model, as function of the capacitance, the coupling to the bath (that is, the conductance…
We investigate the quantum phases of bosons in a two-chain-coupled ladder. This bosonic ladder is generally in a biased configuration, meaning that the two chains of the ladder can have dramatically different on-site interactions and…

The features of superfluid-Mott insulator phase transition in the array of dissipative nonlinear cavities are analyzed. We show analytically that the coupling to the bath can be reduced to renormalizing the eigenmodes of atom-cavity system.…

We study the energy exchange between two bosonic systems that interact via bilinear transformations in the mode operators. The first mode is considered as the thermodynamic system, while the second is regarded as the bath. This work finds…
Superconducting circuits reveal themselves as promising physical devices with multiple uses. Within those uses, the fundamental concept of the geometric phase accumulated by the state of a system shows up recurrently, as, for example, in…
We study the nonequilibrium dynamics of a many-body bosonic system on a lattice, subject to driving and dissipation. The time-evolution is described by a master equation, which we treat within a generalized Gutzwiller mean field…
Finding efficient descriptions of how an environment affects a collection of discrete quantum systems would lead to new insights into many areas of modern physics. Markovian, or time-local, methods work well for individual systems, but for…
The interaction of a quantum system with a bath, usually referred to as dissipation, can be controlled if one can establish quantum interference between the system--bath interaction and a coupling of the system to an external control field.…
