- Abstract summary: When driven by a potential bias between two finite reservoirs, the particle current across a quantum system evolves from an initial loading through a coherent, followed by a metastable phase, and ultimately fades away upon equilibration.
We formulate a theory which fully accounts for the associated, distinct time scales, and identifies the parameter dependence of the decay rate which ultimately controls the convergence towards equilibrium.

- Abstract: When driven by a potential bias between two finite reservoirs, the particle
current across a quantum system evolves from an initial loading through a
coherent, followed by a metastable phase, and ultimately fades away upon
equilibration. We formulate a theory which fully accounts for the associated,
distinct time scales, and identifies the parameter dependence of the decay rate
which ultimately controls the convergence towards equilibrium. Our formalism
guarantees total particle number conservation and fundamental consistency
between macroscopic and internal currents flowing in the system. We furthermore
establish a clear imprint of the fermionic or bosonic particle character on the
resulting conductance.

When applied to a Quantum Ising chain where the transverse magnetization is measured by quantum jumps, our theory predicts a critical phase with logarithmic scaling of the entanglement, an area law phase and a continuous phase transition between them, with an effective central charge vanishing as a square root at the transition point.

In a dissipative system, postquench information propagates solely through entangled pairs of quasiparticles having a finite lifetime.
Remarkably, in spite of the finite lifetime of the quasiparticles, a finite steady-state value of the MI survives in times which is an artifact of nonvanishing two-point correlations.
