We discuss an open driven-dissipative many-body system, in which the competition of unitary Hamiltonian and dissipative Liouvillian dynamics leads to a nonequilibrium phase transition. It shares features of a quantum phase transition in…
Fractonic superfluids are exotic phases of matter in which bosons are subject to mobility constraints, resulting in features beyond those of conventional superfluids. These exotic phases arise from the spontaneous breaking of higher-rank…
Cosmological hysteresis, has interesting and vivid implications in the scenario of a cyclic bouncy universe. This, purely thermodynamical in nature, is caused by the asymmetry in the equation of state parameter during expansion and…
