• Title: Perturbative Understanding of Non-Perturbative Processes and Quantumization versus Classicalization
• Authors: Gia Dvali and Lukas Eisemann
• Abstract summary: We show that a fully quantum perturbative treatment, in which the background is resolved as a multi-particle state, recovers the semiclassical non-perturbative results. We reproduce particle-creation by a classical field in a theory of two scalars as well as in scalar QED in terms of scattering processes of high multiplicity.

• Abstract: In some instances of study of quantum evolution of classical backgrounds it is considered inevitable to resort to non-perturbative methods at the price of treating the system semiclassically. We show that a fully quantum perturbative treatment, in which the background is resolved as a multi-particle state, recovers the semiclassical non-perturbative results and allows going beyond. We reproduce particle-creation by a classical field in a theory of two scalars as well as in scalar QED in terms of scattering processes of high multiplicity. The multi-particle treatment also gives a transparent picture of why a single-process transition from a classical to a quantum state, which we call quantumization, is exponentially suppressed, whereas the opposite process, classicalization, can take place swiftly if the microstate degeneracy of the classical state is high. An example is provided by the $N$-graviton portrait of a black hole: a black hole can form efficiently via a $2\to N$ classicalization process in the collision of high-energy particles but its quantumization via a decay $N \to 2$ is exponentially suppressed.

  $P$-divisibility is a central concept in both classical and quantum non-Markovian processes. We show that loss of classical $P$-divisibility can originate from the classical reduction of a purely dissipative $P$-divisible quantum dynamics.

  We show that the quantum analogue of the classical facilitated process engineers an interesting $quantum$ $absorbing$ $transition$ where the quantum particles transit from an unentangled direct-product absorbing phase to an entangled steady state with a finite current at density $rho=1/2$. Our work ties the two sub-fields of classically interacting exclusion processes, and interacting non-Hermitian quantum Hamiltonians to show common themes in the non-equilibrium phases they realise.

• Nonequilibrium dark space phase transition [0.0]
  We introduce the concept of dark space phase transition, which may occur in open many-body quantum systems. We identify two competing dark states, a trivial one corresponding to a classical absorbing state and an emergent one which is quantum coherent. Such emergent two-dimensional dark space may find technological applications, e.g. for the collective encoding of a quantum information.

  We establish quantum features of an atomic soliton Josephson junction (SJJ) device. We show that the SJJ-model in quantum domain exhibits unusual features due to its effective nonlinear strength proportional to the square of total particle number. We have shown that the obtained quantum state is more resistant to few particle losses from the condensates if tiny components of entangled Fock states are present.

  We focus on the full quantum mechanical description of the integrable system. For a slow but finite sweep rate we find a broad regime where the quantum results agree with the semiclassical results. For a single initial energy eigenstate we find in contrast that the backward sweep reveals strong quantum effects even for very large particle numbers.
