• Abstract: The Kuramoto model serves as a paradigm for describing spontaneous synchronization in a system of classical interacting rotors. In this study, we extend this model to the quantum domain by coupling quantum interacting rotors to external baths following the Caldeira-Leggett approach. Studying the mean-field model in the overdamped limit using Feynman-Vernon theory, we show how quantum mechanics modifies the phase diagram. Specifically, we demonstrate that quantum fluctuations hinder the emergence of synchronization, albeit not entirely suppressing it. We examine the phase transition into the synchronized phase at various temperatures, revealing that classical results are recovered at high temperatures while a quantum phase transition occurs at zero temperature. Additionally, we derive an analytical expression for the critical coupling, highlighting its dependence on the model parameters, and examine the differences between classical and quantum behavior.

  We study a model of amplification of quantum transfer and making it directed which we call the quantum ratchet model. The ratchet effect is achieved in the quantum control model with dissipation and sink, where the Hamiltonian depends on vibrations in the energy difference synchronized with transitions between energy levels. Amplitude and frequency of the oscillating vibron together with the dephasing rate are the parameters of the quantum ratchet which determine its efficiency.

  A breakdown in the rotating wave approximation of the Rabi model leads to phase transition versus coupling strength. We show that the dynamics of physical quantities can reflect such a phase transition for this model. This work offers an idea to explore phase transitions by non-equilibrium process for open quantum systems.

  We argue that the division between quantum and classical behaviors is analogous to the division of thermodynamic phases. A specific relationship between the collapse parameter $(lambda)$ and the collapse length scale ($r_C$) plays the role of the coexistence curve in usual thermodynamic phase diagrams.

• Effects of critical correlations on quantum percolation in two dimensions [0.0]
  We consider a two-dimensional tight-binding model that interacts with a background of classical spins in thermal equilibrium. To capture the salient features of the classical transition, we focus on the strong coupling limit. We provide evidence that the classical phase transition might induce a delocalization-localization transition in the quantum system at certain energies.

  We investigate a realistic scenario for the quantum simulation of such systems using cold Rydberg-dressed atoms in optical lattices.

We furthermore study the stability of the phases with respect to temperature within the mean-field approximation.

  The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) offers a universal mechanism for the approach to equilibrium of closed quantum many-body systems. Here, we propose a theory-independent route to probe the full ETH in quantum simulators by observing the emergence of fluctuation-dissipation relations. Our work presents a theory-independent way to characterize thermalization in quantum simulators and paves the way to quantum simulate condensed matter pump-probe experiments.
