At continuous phase transitions, quantum many-body systems exhibit scale-invariance and complex, emergent universal behavior. Most strikingly, at a quantum critical point, correlations decay as a power law, with exponents determined by a…

We propose that nonequilibrium quantum criticality in open systems at both zero and finite temperatures can be described by a master equation of the Lindblad form. We derive this equation from a system coupling microscopic to a heat bath.…
