• Abstract: We study the steady states of translation-invariant open quantum many-body systems governed by Lindblad master equations, where the Hamiltonian is quadratic in the ladder operators, and the Lindblad operators are either linear or quadratic and Hermitian. These systems are called quasifree and quadratic, respectively. We find that steady states of one-dimensional systems with finite-range interactions necessarily have exponentially decaying Green's functions. For the quasifree case without quadratic Lindblad operators, we show that fermionic systems with finite-range interactions are noncritical for any number of spatial dimensions and provide bounds on the correlation lengths. Quasifree bosonic systems can be critical in $D>1$ dimensions. Last, we address the question of phase transitions in quadratic systems and find that, without symmetry constraints beyond invariance under single-particle basis and particle-hole transformations, all gapped Liouvillians belong to the same phase.

  dynamics of Markovian open quantum systems are described by Lindblad master equations. Steady states of irreducible systems are unique and faithful, i.e., they have full rank. We discuss the decisive differences between (Davies) reducibility and Evans reducibility for quantum channels and dynamical semigroups.

  We investigate the effect that spatially modulated continuous conserved quantities can have on quantum ground states. We show that such systems feature a non-trivial Hilbert space fragmentation for momenta incommensurate with the lattice. We conjecture that a Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless-type transition is driven by the unbinding of vortices along the temporal direction.

• Entanglement and localization in long-range quadratic Lindbladians [49.1574468325115]
  Signatures of localization have been observed in condensed matter and cold atomic systems. We propose a model of one-dimensional chain of non-interacting, spinless fermions coupled to a local ensemble of baths. We show that the steady state of the system undergoes a localization entanglement phase transition by tuning $p$ which remains stable in the presence of coherent hopping.

  We reformulate the technique of third quantization in a way that explicitly connects all three methods. We first show that our formulation reveals a fundamental dissipative symmetry present in all quadratic bosonic or fermionic Lindbladians. For bosons, we then show that the Wigner function and the characteristic function can be thought of as ''wavefunctions'' of the density matrix.

  We provide a rigorous construction of Markovian master equations for a wide class of quantum systems. We show that, for non-degenerate systems under a full secular approximation, the effective Lindblad operators are the normal modes of the system. We also address the particle and energy current flowing through the system in a minimal two-bath scheme and find that they hold the structure of Landauer's formula.
