• Abstract: The Weyl-Wigner representations for canonical thermal equilibrium quantum states are obtained for the whole class of quadratic Hamiltonians through a Wick rotation of the Weyl-Wigner symbols of Heisenberg and metaplectic operators. The behavior of classical structures inherently associated to these unitaries is described under the Wick mapping, unveiling that a thermal equilibrium state is fully determined by a complex symplectic matrix, which sets all of its thermodynamical properties. The four categories of Hamiltonian dynamics (Parabolic, Elliptic, Hyperbolic, and Loxodromic) are analyzed. Semiclassical and high temperature approximations are derived and compared to the classical and/or quadratic behavior.

  interplay between symmetries and entanglement in out-of-equilibrium quantum systems is currently at the centre of an intense multidisciplinary research effort. We show that one can introduce a class of solvable states, which extends that of generic dual unitary circuits. In contrast to the known class of solvable states, which relax to the infinite temperature state, these states relax to a family of non-trivial generalised Gibbs ensembles.

• Quantum thermodynamics of the Caldeira-Leggett model with non-equilibrium Gaussian reservoirs [0.0]
  We introduce a non-equilibrium version of the Caldeira-Leggett model in which a quantum particle is strongly coupled to a set of engineered reservoirs. Strongly displaced/squeezed reservoirs can be used to generate an effective time dependence in the system Hamiltonian. We show the quantum-classical correspondence between the heat statistics in the non-equilibrium Caldeira-Leggett model and the statistics of a classical Langevin particle under the action of squeezed and displaced colored noises.

  entropy dynamics as an indicator of physical behavior in an open two-state system with balanced gain and loss is presented. We distinguish the perspective taken in utilizing the conventional framework of Hermitian-adjoint states from an approach that is based on biorthogonal-adjoint states and a third case based on an isospectral mapping.

  We characterize all Gaussian dynamical semigroups in continuous variables quantum systems of n-bosonic modes which have a thermal Gibbs state as a stationary solution. We also show that Alicki's quantum detailed-balance condition, based on a Gelfand-Naimark-Segal inner product, allows the determination of the temperature dependence of the diffusion and dissipation matrices.

  We study the isotropic Kitaev spin-$1/2$ model on the Bethe lattice. We take a straightforward approach of solving Heisenberg equations for a tailored subset of spin operators. As an example, we calculate the time-dependent expectation value of this observable for a factorized translation-invariant.

  We show that a new approach of average over disordered Hamiltonian ensemble is capable of describing the nonclassicality of incoherent dynamics. Under the variable separation of the probability distribution within the Hamiltonian ensemble, the geometrical structure is easily visualized. We demonstrate four degrees and investigate the effects of different types of symmetry breaking on the incoherent dynamics.

  An explicit expression for the temperature of an open two-level quantum system is obtained. This temperature coincides with the environment temperature if the system reaches thermal equilibrium with a heat reservoir. We show that within this theoretical framework the total entropy production can be partitioned into two contributions.
