The dynamics of dissipative many-body quantum systems sometimes admit an emergent classical description in terms of a Markov chain even though the corresponding state space contains highly entangled states. In particular, a bad-cavity laser…

We unveil a quantum Pontus-Mpemba effect enabled by the Liouvillian skin effect in a dissipative tight-binding chain with asymmetric incoherent hopping and coherent boundary coupling. The skin effect, induced by non-reciprocal dissipation,…

The presence of defects in solids formed by active particles breaks their discrete translational symmetry. As a consequence, many of their properties become space-dependent and different from those characterizing perfectly ordered…
