• Abstract summary: We analyze the dynamics of a Rydberg many-body system in the limits of high and low temperatures. We show that the absorbing-state phase transition is replaced with an extended Griffiths phase. We expand upon an existing macroscopic Langevin equation to more accurately describe the density of Rydberg atoms in frozen and finite temperature regimes.

• Abstract: The spread of excitations by Rydberg facilitation bears many similarities to epidemics. Such systems can be modeled with Monte-Carlo simulations of classical rate equations to great accuracy as a result of high dephasing. In this paper, we analyze the dynamics of a Rydberg many-body system in the facilitation regime in the limits of high and low temperatures. While in the high-temperature limit a homogeneous mean-field behaviour is recovered, characteristic effects of heterogeneity can be seen in a frozen gas. At large temperatures the system displays an absorbing-state phase transition and, in the presence of an additional loss channel, self-organized criticality. In a frozen or low-temperature gas, excitations are constrained to a network resembling an Erd\"os-Renyi graph. We show that the absorbing-state phase transition is replaced with an extended Griffiths phase, which we accurately describe by a susceptible-infected-susceptible model on the Erd\"os-Renyi network taking into account Rydberg blockade. Furthermore, we expand upon an existing macroscopic Langevin equation to more accurately describe the density of Rydberg atoms in the frozen and finite temperature regimes.

  We study the finite- and non-zero temperature phase diagram of the Extended Bose-Hubbard Model for both pure and disordered systems. It is found that the presence of a non-zero temperature significantly changes the phase diagram because now there is a competition between quantum and thermal fluctuations.

  We consider the two-dimensional quantum Ising model, in absence of disorder, subject to periodic imperfect global spin flips. We show by a combination of exact diagonalization and tensor-network methods that the system can sustain a spontaneously broken discrete time-translation symmetry. We observe a non-perturbative change in the decay rate of the order parameter, which is related to the long-lived stability of the magnetic domains in 2D.
