At transitions between phases of matter, physical systems can exhibit universal behavior independent of their microscopic details. Probing such behavior in quantum many-body systems is a challenging and practically important problem that…

We consider Markovian open quantum systems subject to stochastic resetting, which means that the dissipative time evolution is reset at randomly distributed times to the initial state. We show that the ensuing dynamics is non-Markovian and…
