The study of open quantum systems–microscopic systems exhibiting quantum coherence
that are coupled to their environment–has become increasingly important in the past years …

Recent experimental developments in diverse areas—ranging from cold atomic gases to
light-driven semiconductors to microcavity arrays—move systems into the focus which are …

Recent years have seen tremendous progress in the theoretical understanding of quantum
systems driven dissipatively by coupling to different baths at their edges. This was possible …

We identify an unconventional algebraic scaling phase in the quantum dynamics of long-
range hop**, free fermions, which are exposed to continuous local measurements. The …

We experimentally investigate the action of a localized dissipative potential on a
macroscopic matter wave, which we implement by shining an electron beam on an atomic …

The interplay of unitary evolution and local measurements in many-body systems gives rise
to a stochastic state evolution and to measurement-induced phase transitions in the pure …

The interplay between dissipation and internal interactions in quantum many-body systems
gives rise to a wealth of novel phenomena. Here we investigate spin-1/2 chains with uniform …

Pushing forward the understanding of general non-unitary dynamics in controlled quantum
platforms has been fueled by the recent discovery of measurement-induced phases and …

Decoherence plays a major role in our current understanding of the conceptual foundations
of quantum physics. In many instances, decoherence is also a threat that must be countered …

Quantum systems evolving unitarily and subject to quantum measurements exhibit various
types of non-equilibrium phase transitions, arising from the competition between unitary …
