• Abstract summary: Open systems described by a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian have become a subject of intense research over the past two decades. Here, we address the following questions: Does anything remain constant in the dynamics of such open systems? We obtain all conserved observables for general $mathcalPT$-symmetric systems. We then generalize the analysis to Hamiltonians with other antilinear symmetries, and discuss the consequences of conservation laws for open systems.

• Abstract: Over the past two decades, open systems that are described by a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian have become a subject of intense research. These systems encompass classical wave systems with balanced gain and loss, semiclassical models with mode selective losses, and minimal quantum systems, and the meteoric research on them has mainly focused on the wide range of novel functionalities they demonstrate. Here, we address the following questions: Does anything remain constant in the dynamics of such open systems? What are the consequences of such conserved quantities? Through spectral-decomposition method and explicit, recursive procedure, we obtain all conserved observables for general $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric systems. We then generalize the analysis to Hamiltonians with other antilinear symmetries, and discuss the consequences of conservation laws for open systems. We illustrate our findings with several physically motivated examples.

  The growth of the entanglement between a disjoint subsystem and its complement after a quantum quench is regarded as a dynamical chaos indicator. We show that for almost all dual unitary circuits the entanglement dynamics agrees with what is expected for chaotic systems. Despite having many conserved charges, charge-conserving dual-unitary circuits are in general not Yang-Baxter integrable.

• On the generality of symmetry breaking and dissipative freezing in quantum trajectories [0.0]
  We argue that dissipative freezing is a general consequence of the presence of a strong symmetry in an open system with only a few exceptions. In the limiting case that eigenmodes with purely imaginary eigenvalues are manifest in these sectors, freezing fails to occur. The absence of freezing at the level of a single quantum trajectory provides a simple, computationally efficient way of identifying these traceless modes.

  Unavoidable coupling of quantum systems to external degrees of freedom leads to dissipative (non-unitary) dynamics. We introduce a method to deal with these systems based on the calculation of (dissipative) lattice Green's function. We illustrate the power of this method with several examples of driven-dissipative bosonic chains of increasing complexity.

  We present an alternative way to characterize and derive conserved quantities, or intertwining operators, in open systems. We also obtain non-Hermitian or Hermitian operators whose expectations values show single exponential time dependence. Inspired by the Lindblad density matrix equation, our approach provides a useful addition to the well-established methods for characterizing time-invariants in non-Hermitian systems.

We implement a Floquet Hamiltonian of a single qubit with anti-$mathcalPT$ symmetry by periodically driving a dissipative quantum system of a single trapped ion.
