Decoherence in many-body quantum systems can give rise to intrinsically mixed-state phases and phase transitions beyond the pure-state paradigm. Here we study the $(2+1)$D transverse-field Ising model subject to a strongly…
In this letter, we introduce a novel method for investigating dissipation (gain) and thermalization in an open quantum system. In this method, the quantum system is coupled linearly with a copy of itself or with another system described by…
We consider the quantum dynamics of two spin-1/2 systems, each coupled to a bath of oscillators, so that a bath-mediated coupling is generated between the spins. We find that the interactions destroys any coherent motion of the 2 spins,…
A symmetric dissipative two-state system is asymptotically completely delocalized independent of the initial state. We show that driving-induced localization at long times can take place when both the bias and tunneling coupling energy are…
We theoretically explore quantum correlation properties of a dissipative Bose-Hubbard dimer in presence of a coherent drive. In particular, we focus on the regime where the semiclassical theory predicts a bifurcation with a spontaneous…
We study a bipartite collective spin-$1$ model with exchange interaction between the spins. The bipartite nature of the model manifests itself by the spins being divided into two equal-sized subsystems; within each subsystem the spin-spin…
