- Abstract: We numerically investigate the quantum transport in a coupled kicked rotors
with the $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric potential. We find that the spontaneous
$\mathcal{PT}$-symmetry breaking of wavefunctions emerges when the amplitude of
the imaginary part of the complex potential is beyond a threshold value, which
can be modulated by the coupling strength effectively. In the regime of the
$\mathcal{PT}$-symmetry breaking, the particles driven by the periodical kicks
move unidirectionally in momentum space, indicating the emergence of a directed
current. Meanwhile, with increasing the coupling strength, we find a transition
from the ballistic energy diffusion to a kind of the modified ballistic energy
diffusion where the width of the wavepacket also increases with time in a power
law. Our findings suggest that the decoherence effect induced by the interplay
between the inter-particle coupling and the non-Hermitian driving potential is
responsible for these particular transport behaviors.

We show broadband nonreciprocal photon transmission in the emphreversed-dissipation regime.
In the reversed-dissipation regime, the nonreciprocal bandwidth is no longer limited by the mechanical mode linewidth.
We find that the direction of the unidirectional and chiral energy transfer could be reversed by changing the emphparity of the Eps.

model [0.0]
We describe a quantum dynamo effect in a driven system coupled to a harmonic oscillator describing a cavity mode or to a collection of modes forming an Ohmic bosonic bath.
This field opposes the change of the external driving field in a way reminiscent of Faraday's law of induction.
We show that the dynamo effect is directly related to the dynamically measured topology of this spin-$frac12$ and thus in the adiabatic limit provides a topologically protected method to convert driving work into a coherent field in the reservoir.

We report on an emergent mechanism for pumping in a quantum gas coupled to an optical resonator.
Due to dissipation, the cavity field evolves between its two quadratures, each corresponding to a different centrosymmetric crystal configuration.
This self-oscillation results in a time-periodic potential analogous to that describing the transport of electrons in topological tight-binding models.

We study an open Heisenberg XXZ spin chain with long-range Ising-type interaction.
We find that the chain lengths for this transition are increasing with decreasing range of the Ising-type interactions between distant spins.
The transition can be explained by the suppression of ferromagnetic domains at the edges of the chain.

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.
