- Abstract summary: We study the system's response to unitary perturbations, as well as non-unitary perturbations, affecting the properties of the environment.
We show that linear response, combined with a quantum probing approach, can effectively provide valuable quantitative information about the perturbation and characteristics of the environment.

- Abstract: The formalism of linear response theory can be extended to encompass physical
situations where an open quantum system evolves towards a non-equilibrium
steady-state. Here, we use the framework put forward by Konopik and Lutz [Phys.
Rev. Research {\bf 1}, 033156 (2019)] to go beyond unitary perturbations of the
dynamics. Considering an open system comprised of two coupled quantum harmonic
oscillators, we study the system's response to unitary perturbations, affecting
the Hamiltonian dynamics, as well as non-unitary perturbations, affecting the
properties of the environment, e.g., its temperature and squeezing. We show
that linear response, combined with a quantum probing approach, can effectively
provide valuable quantitative information about the perturbation and
characteristics of the environment, even in cases of non-unitary dynamics.

interplay between symmetries and entanglement in out-of-equilibrium quantum systems is currently at the centre of an intense multidisciplinary research effort.
We show that one can introduce a class of solvable states, which extends that of generic dual unitary circuits.
In contrast to the known class of solvable states, which relax to the infinite temperature state, these states relax to a family of non-trivial generalised Gibbs ensembles.

We consider scenarios where the dynamics of a quantum system are partially determined by prior local measurements of some interacting environmental degrees of freedom.
We derive the properties of distributions for both quadrature and photon number measurements.
Given a notion of naturally occurring measurement, this suggests a new class of scenarios for the dynamics of quantum systems in particle physics and cosmology.

Unavoidable coupling of quantum systems to external degrees of freedom leads to dissipative (non-unitary) dynamics.
We introduce a method to deal with these systems based on the calculation of (dissipative) lattice Green's function.
We illustrate the power of this method with several examples of driven-dissipative bosonic chains of increasing complexity.
