• Abstract: We consider a one-dimensional Dicke lattice with complex photon hopping amplitudes and investigate the influence of time-reversal symmetry breaking due to synthetic magnetic fields. We show that, by tuning the total flux threading the lattice with a periodic boundary condition, the universality class of superradiant phase transition (SPT) changes from that of the mean-field fully connected systems to one that features anomalous critical phenomena. The anomalous SPT exhibits a closing of the energy gap with different critical exponents on both sides of transition and a discontinuity of correlations and fluctuation despite it being a second-order phase transition. In the anomalous normal phase, we find that a non-mean-field critical exponent for the closing energy gap and nondivergent fluctuations and correlations appear, which we attribute to the asymmetric dispersion relation. Moreover, we show that the nearest neighborhood complex hopping induces effective long-range interactions for position quadratures of the cavity fields, whose competition leads to a series of first-order phase transitions among superradiant phases with varying degrees of frustration. The resulting multicritical points also show anomalous features such as two coexisting critical scalings on both sides of the transition. Our work shows that the interplay between the broken time-reversal symmetry and frustration on bosonic lattice systems can give rise to anomalous critical phenomena that have no counterpart in fermionic, spin, or time-reversal symmetric quantum optical systems.

  We study perturbations that break the integrability and/or the symmetry of the model, as well as modifications in the measurement protocol, characterizing the resulting chaos and lack of integrability through the Dissipative Spectral Form Factor (DSFF) We show that while the measurement-induced phase transition and its properties appear broadly insensitive to lack of integrability and breaking of the $bbZ$ symmetry, a modification of the measurement basis from the transverse to the longitudinal direction makes the phase transition disappear altogether.

  We focus on the non-equilibrium universal dynamics of the miscible-immiscible phase transition with both linear and nonlinear quenching types. By analyzing the Bogoliubov excitations, we establish a power-law relationship between the domain correlation length, the phase transition delay, and the quench time. Through real-time simulations of phase transition dynamics, the formation of domain defects and the delay of phase transition in non-equilibrium dynamics are demonstrated.

  We show a dissipative phase transition in a driven nonlinear quantum oscillator in which a discrete time-translation symmetry is broken either continuously or discretely. The corresponding regimes display either continuous or discrete time crystals, which we analyze numerically and analytically beyond the classical limit. We discuss this transition between different time-crystal orders in the context of synchronization phenomena.

  We consider a system of interacting spinless fermions on a two-leg triangular ladder with $pi/2$ magnetic flux per triangular plaquette. Microscopically, the system exhibits a U(1) symmetry corresponding to the conservation of total fermionic charge, and a discrete $mathbbZ$ symmetry. At the intersection of the three phases, the system features a critical point with an emergent SU(2) symmetry.

We observe a non-perturbative change in the decay rate of the order parameter, which is related to the long-lived stability of the magnetic domains in 2D.
