• Abstract: The dynamics generated by non-Hermitian Hamiltonians are often less intuitive than those of conventional Hermitian systems. Even for models as simple as a complexified harmonic oscillator, the dynamics for generic initial states shows surprising features. Here we analyse the dynamics of the Husimi distribution in a semiclassical limit, illuminating the foundations of the full quantum evolution. The classical Husimi evolution is composed of two factors, (i) the initial Husimi distribution evaluated along phase-space trajectories, and (ii) the final value of the norm corresponding to each phase-space point. Both factors conspire to lead to intriguing dynamical behaviours. We demonstrate how the full quantum dynamics unfolds on top of the classical Husimi dynamics for two instructive examples.

  We show how the competition between two measurement processes give rise to two distinct Quantum Zeno (QZ) regimes. We develop a theory based on a Gutzwiller ansatz for the wavefunction that is able to capture the structure of the Hilbert phase diagram. We show how the two QZ regimes are intimately connected to the topology of the flow of the underlying non-Hermitian Hamiltonian governing the no-click evolution.

  Scale universality and self-similarity in physics provide a unified framework to classify phases of matter and dynamical properties of near-equilibrium systems. Here, we report on the first classification of universal coarsening dynamics in a ferromagnetic spinor gas. Our results represent a paradigmatic example of categorizing far-from-equilibrium dynamics in quantum many-body systems.

  We study periodic dynamical quantum phase transitions (DQPTs) directly connected to the zeros of a Landau order parameter (OP) We find that a DQPT signals a change in the dominant contribution to the wave function in the degenerate initial-state manifold. Our work generalizes previous results and reveals that, in general, periodic DQPTs comprise complex many-body dynamics fundamentally beyond that of two-level systems.

• The nonlinear semiclassical dynamics of the unbalanced, open Dicke model [0.0]
  The Dicke model exhibits a quantum phase transition to a state in which the atoms collectively emit light into the cavity mode, known as superradiance. We study this system in the semiclassical (mean field) limit, neglecting the role of quantum fluctuations. We find that a flip of the collective spin can result in the sudden emergence of chaotic dynamics.
