Unified theory of local quantum many-body dynamics: Eigenoperator thermalization theorems

B Buča - Physical Review X, 2023 - APS
Explaining quantum many-body dynamics is a long-held goal of physics. A rigorous operator
algebraic theory of dynamics in locally interacting systems in any dimension is provided …

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 …

X Wu, Z Wang, F Yang, R Gao, C Liang, MK Tey, X Li… - Nature Physics, 2024 - nature.com
The notion of spontaneous symmetry breaking has been well established to characterize
classical and quantum phase transitions of matter, such as condensation, crystallization or …

Determining the validity of cumulant expansions for central spin models

P Fowler-Wright, KB Arnardóttir, P Kirton, BW Lovett… - Physical Review …, 2023 - APS
For a model with many-to-one connectivity it is widely expected that mean-field theory
captures the exact many-particle N→∞ limit, and that higher-order cumulant expansions of …

Symmetries and correlations in continuous time crystals

A Mukherjee, Y Ibrahim, M Hajdušek, S Vinjanampathy - Physical Review A, 2024 - APS
We demonstrate the inadequacy of mean-field theory by exploring the effects of initial-state
correlations on the dynamics of continuous time crystals, motivating the need for higher …

Dynamics of inhomogeneous spin ensembles with all-to-all interactions: Breaking permutational invariance

F Iemini, D Chang, J Marino - Physical Review A, 2024 - APS
We investigate the consequences of introducing nonuniform initial conditions in the
dynamics of spin ensembles characterized by all-to-all interactions. Specifically, our study …

Realizing limit cycles in dissipative bosonic systems

J Skulte, P Kongkhambut, H Keßler, A Hemmerich… - Physical Review A, 2024 - APS
We propose a general mechanism for generating limit cycle (LC) oscillations by coupling a
linear bosonic mode to a dissipative nonlinear bosonic mode. By analyzing the stability …

Nonequilibrium transition between dissipative time crystals

A Cabot, GL Giorgi, R Zambrini - PRX Quantum, 2024 - APS
We show a dissipative phase transition in a driven nonlinear quantum oscillator in which a
discrete time-translation symmetry is spontaneously broken in two different ways. The …

Oscillating-mode gap: An indicator of phase transitions in open quantum many-body systems

T Haga - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
It presents a significant challenge to elucidate the relationship between the phases of open
quantum many-body systems and the spectral structure of their governing Liouvillian, which …

Exotic synchronization in continuous time crystals outside the symmetric subspace

P Solanki, M Krishna, M Hajdušek, C Bruder… - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
Exploring continuous time crystals (CTCs) within the symmetric subspace of spin systems
has been a subject of intensive research in recent times. Thus far, the stability of the time …
