Observation of quantum strong Mpemba effect

J Zhang, G **a, CW Wu, T Chen, Q Zhang, Y **e… - Nature …, 2025 - nature.com
An ancient and counterintuitive phenomenon known as the Mpemba effect (water can cool
faster when initially heated up) showcases the critical role of initial conditions in relaxation …

Symmetry classification of many-body Lindbladians: Tenfold way and beyond

L Sá, P Ribeiro, T Prosen - Physical Review X, 2023 - APS
We perform a systematic symmetry classification of many-body Lindblad superoperators
describing general (interacting) open quantum systems coupled to a Markovian …

Nonreciprocal synchronization of active quantum spins

T Nadolny, C Bruder, M Brunelli - Physical Review X, 2025 - APS
Active agents are capable of exerting nonreciprocal forces upon one another. For instance,
one agent, say A, may attract another agent B while B repels A. These antagonistic …

Quantum Origin of Limit Cycles, Fixed Points, and Critical Slowing Down

S Dutta, S Zhang, M Haque - Physical Review Letters, 2025 - APS
Among the most iconic features of classical dissipative dynamics are persistent limit-cycle
oscillations and critical slowing down at the onset of such oscillations, where the system …

Efficient many-body non-Markovian dynamics of organic polaritons

P Fowler-Wright, BW Lovett, J Keeling - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
We show how to simulate a model of many molecules with both strong coupling to many
vibrational modes and collective coupling to a single photon mode. We do this by combining …

Exactness of mean-field equations for open Dicke models with an application to pattern retrieval dynamics

F Carollo, I Lesanovsky - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
Open quantum Dicke models are paradigmatic systems for the investigation of light-matter
interaction in out-of-equilibrium quantum settings. Albeit being structurally simple, these …

Liouvillian dynamics of the open Schwinger model: String breaking and kinetic dissipation in a thermal medium

K Lee, J Mulligan, F Ringer, X Yao - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
Understanding the dynamics of bound state formation is one of the fundamental questions in
confining quantum field theories such as Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). One …

Accelerating relaxation through Liouvillian exceptional point

YL Zhou, XD Yu, CW Wu, XQ Li, J Zhang, W Li… - Physical Review …, 2023 - APS

Liouvillian exceptional point (LEP), where the slowest decay mode degenerates with a faster …

Dissipative phase transitions in -photon driven quantum nonlinear resonators

F Minganti, V Savona, A Biella - Quantum, 2023 - quantum-journal.org
We investigate and characterize the emergence of finite-component dissipative phase
transitions (DPTs) in nonlinear photon resonators subject to $ n $-photon driving and …
