• Abstract summary: We obtain a representation of the Lindbladian as a direct integral of finite range bi-infinite Laurent matrices with rank-$r$-perturbations. We prove gaplessness, absence of residual spectrum and a condition for convergence of finite volume spectra to their infinite volume counterparts.

• Abstract: We determine spectra of single-particle translation-invariant Lindblad operators on the infinite line. In the case where the Hamiltonian is given by the discrete Laplacian and the Lindblad operators are rank $r$, finite range and translates of each other, we obtain a representation of the Lindbladian as a direct integral of finite range bi-infinite Laurent matrices with rank-$r$-perturbations. By analyzing the direct integral we rigorously determine the spectra in the general case and calculate it explicitly for several types of dissipation e.g.\ dephasing, and coherent hopping. We further use the detailed information about the spectrum to prove gaplessness, absence of residual spectrum and a condition for convergence of finite volume spectra to their infinite volume counterparts. We finally extend the discussion to the case of the Anderson Hamiltonian, which enables us to study a Lindbladian recently associated with localization in open quantum systems.

  We introduce different ensembles of random Lindblad operators $cal L$, which satisfy quantum detailed balance condition with respect to the given stationary state $sigma$ of size $N$. We show that similar universal properties hold for the detailed balance-obeying Kolmogorov generators obtained by applying superdecoherence to an ensemble of random Davies generators.

  We study phase transitions occurring in the stationary state of the dynamics of integrable many-body non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. We observe that the entanglement phase transitions occurring in the stationary state have the same nature as that occurring in the vacuum of the non-hermitian Hamiltonian.

• Evolution of spectral topology in one-dimensional long-range nonreciprocal lattices [0.0]
  We investigate the spectral topology of one-dimensional lattices where the nonreciprocal hoppings within the nearest $r_d$ neighboring sites are the same. For the purely off-diagonal model without onsite potentials, the energy spectrum of the lattice forms an inseparable loop that intertwines with itself in the complex energy plane. We propose an experimental scheme to realize the long-range nonreciprocal models by exploiting electrical circuits.

We derive effective LME equations describing the modes within each stripe separately, and solve them perturbatively.

  We study the phenomenon of transmission across the singularity that separates the two half-cylinders. All the local realisations of the free (Laplace-Beltrami) quantum Hamiltonian are examined as non-equivalent protocols of transmission/reflection. This allows to comprehend the distinguished status of the so-called bridging' transmission protocol previously identified in the literature.

• Isospectral twirling and quantum chaos [0.0]
  We show that the most important measures of quantum chaos like frame potentials, scrambling, Loschmidt echo, and out-of-time correlators (OTOCs) can be described by the unified framework of the isospectral twirling. We show that, by exploiting random matrix theory, these measures of quantum chaos clearly distinguish the finite time profiles of probes to quantum chaos.
