Continuously monitoring the environment of a quantum many-body system reduces the entropy of (purifies) the reduced density matrix of the system, conditional on the outcomes of the measurements. We show that, for mixed initial states, a…

A quantum phase transition from the miscible to the immiscible phase of a quasi-one-dimensional binary Bose-Einstein condensate is driven by ramping down the coupling amplitude of its two hyperfine states. It results in a random pattern of…

Monitored many-body systems can exhibit a phase transition between entangling and disentangling dynamical phases by tuning the strength of measurements made on the system as it evolves. This phenomenon is called the measurement-induced…

Symmetry-breaking quantum phase transitions lead to the production of topological defects or domain walls in a wide range of physical systems. In second-order transitions, these exhibit universal scaling laws described by the Kibble-Zurek…

We study the slow crossing of non-equilibrium quantum phase transitions in periodically-driven systems. We explicitly consider a spin chain with a uniform time-dependent magnetic field and focus on the Floquet state that is adiabatically…

We investigate the transition from PT-symmetry to PT-symmetry breaking and vice versa in the non-Hermitian Landau-Zener (LZ) models. The energy is generally complex, so the relaxation rate of the system is set by the absolute value of the…
