• Abstract: The dynamical evolution of an open quantum system can be governed by the Lindblad equation of the density matrix. In this paper, we propose to characterize the density matrix topology by the topological invariant of its modular Hamiltonian. Since the topological classification of such Hamiltonians depends on their symmetry classes, a primary issue we address is determining the requirement for the Lindbladian operators, under which the modular Hamiltonian can preserve its symmetry class during the dynamical evolution. We solve this problem for the fermionic Gaussian state and for the modular Hamiltonian being a quadratic operator of a set of fermionic operators. When these conditions are satisfied, along with a nontrivial topological classification of the symmetry class of the modular Hamiltonian, a topological transition can occur as time evolves. We present two examples of dissipation-driven topological transitions where the modular Hamiltonian lies in the AIII class with U(1) symmetry and the DIII class without U(1) symmetry. By a finite size scaling, we show that this density matrix topology transition occurs at a finite time. We also present the physical signature of this transition.

  We study the entanglement Hamiltonian for free-fermion chains with a particular form of inhomogeneity. We show that this deformation is interpreted as a local inverse temperature and can be obtained in the continuum limit. Using this prediction, the properly rescaled eigenvalues of the commuting operator are found to provide a very good approximation of the entanglement spectrum and entropy.

  Gaussian quantum Markov semigroups (GQMSs) are of fundamental importance in modelling the evolution of several quantum systems. We completely characterize those GQMSs that admit a normal invariant state and we provide a description of the set of normal invariant states. We study the behavior of such semigroups for long times: firstly, we clarify the relationship between the decoherence-free subalgebra and the spectrum of $mathbfZ$.

• Probing Topology of Gaussian Mixed States by the Full Counting Statistics [5.072946612096282]
  Recently, a trend in topological physics is extending topological classification to mixed state. We focus on Gaussian mixed states where the modular Hamiltonians of the density matrix are quadratic free fermion models. The bulk-boundary correspondence is then manifested as stable gapless modes of the modular Hamiltonian and degenerate spectrum of the density matrix.

  In quantum systems, a subspace spanned by degenerate eigenvectors of the Hamiltonian may have higher symmetries than those of the Hamiltonian itself. When the group is a Lie group, an external field coupled to certain generators of the quasi-symmetry group lifts the degeneracy. We provide two related schemes for constructing one-dimensional spin models having on-demand quasi-symmetry groups.

This implies that the mean chiral displacement can detect the winding number even when the underlying Hamiltonian is quenched between different topological phases.
