• Abstract: Conformal symmetry governs the behavior of closed systems near second-order phase transitions, and is expected to emerge in open systems going through dissipative phase transitions. We propose a framework allowing for a manifest description of conformal symmetry in open Markovian systems. The key difference from the closed case is that both conformal algebra and the algebra of local fields are realized on the space of superoperators. We illustrate the framework by a series of examples featuring systems with quadratic Hamiltonians and linear jump operators, where the Liouvillian dynamics can be efficiently analyzed using the formalism of third quantization. We expect that our framework can be extended to interacting systems using an appropriate generalization of the conformal bootstrap.

We also point out potential pitfalls when extracting transport coefficients from nonequilibrium steady states in finite systems.

  We reformulate the technique of third quantization in a way that explicitly connects all three methods. We first show that our formulation reveals a fundamental dissipative symmetry present in all quadratic bosonic or fermionic Lindbladians. For bosons, we then show that the Wigner function and the characteristic function can be thought of as ''wavefunctions'' of the density matrix.

  We analytically diagonalize the Liouvillian of a class Markovian dissipative systems with arbitrary strong interactions or nonlinearity. This enables an exact description of the full dynamics and dissipative spectrum. Our method is applicable to a variety of other systems, and could provide a powerful new tool for the study of complex driven-dissipative quantum systems.

• Quantum Relativity of Subsystems [58.720142291102135]
  We show that different reference frame perspectives induce different sets of subsystem observable algebras, which leads to a gauge-invariant, frame-dependent notion of subsystems and entanglement. Such a QRF perspective does not inherit the distinction between subsystems in terms of the corresponding tensor factorizability of the kinematical Hilbert space and observable algebra. Since the condition for this to occur is contingent on the choice of QRF, the notion of subsystem locality is frame-dependent.
