Topological phase transitions can occur in the dissipative dynamics of a quantum system when the ratio of matrix elements for competing transport channels is varied. Here we establish a relation between such behavior in a class of…
Spectral degeneracies of quantum magnets are often described as diabolical points or magnetic Weyl points, which carry topological charge. Here, we study a simple, yet experimentally relevant quantum magnet: two localized interacting…

Using a classical and quantum mechanical analysis, we show that the magnetic field gives rise to dynamical symmetries of a three-dimensional axially symmetric two-electron quantum dot with a parabolic confinement. These symmetries manifest…
