• Abstract: In this work, we study in the framework of the so-called driven tight-binding chain (TBC) the issue of quantum unitary dynamics interspersed at random times with stochastic resets mimicking non-unitary evolution due to interactions with the external environment, The driven TBC involves a quantum particle hopping between the nearest-neighbour sites of a one-dimensional lattice and subject to an external forcing field that is periodic in time. We consider the resets to be taking place at exponentially-distributed random times. Using the method of stochastic Liouville equation, we derive exact results for the probability at a given time for the particle to be found on different sites and averaged with respect to different realizations of the dynamics. We establish the remarkable effect of localization of the TBC particle on the sites of the underlying lattice at long times. The system in the absence of stochastic resets exhibits delocalization of the particle, whereby the particle does not have a time-independent probability distribution of being found on different sites even at long times, and, consequently, the mean-squared displacement of the particle about its initial location has an unbounded growth in time. One may induce localization in the bare model only through tuning the ratio of the strength to the frequency of the field to have a special value, namely, equal to one of the zeros of the zeroth order Bessel function of the first kind. We show here that localization may be induced by a far simpler procedure of subjecting the system to stochastic resets.

  Strong local disorder in interacting quantum spin chains can turn delocalized eigenmodes into localized eigenstates. This is accompanied by distinct spectral statistics: chaotic for the delocalized phase and integrable for the localized phase. We ask whether random dissipation (without random disorder) can induce chaotic or localized behavior in an otherwise integrable system.

  We investigate the dynamics of a quantum system subjected to a time-dependent and conditional resetting protocol. Under exponential resetting, and in both presence and absence of the external forcing, the system relaxes to a stationary state. The choice of the reset sites plays a defining role in dictating the relative probability of finding the particle at the reset sites.

  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 provide two explicit applications of the formalism in the context of the so-called tight-binding model relevant in various contexts in solid-state physics. We consider two forms of interactions: reset of quantum dynamics, in which the density operator is at random times reset to its initial form, and projective measurements performed on the system at random times.

Quantum walker initially located on one of the non-leaky sites will finally disappear after a length of evolution time. The intriguing behavior of the resultant decay probability distribution is intimately related to the existence and specific property of edge states.

  We show that the Zitterbewegung effect manifests itself as a series of quantum beats of the particle density in the long-time limit. We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront. The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
