• Abstract: We study the time evolution of single-particle quantum states described by a Lindblad master equation with local terms. By means of a geometric resolvent equation derived for Lindblad generators, we establish a finite-volume-type criterion for the decay of the off-diagonal matrix elements in the position basis of the time-evolved or steady states. This criterion is shown to yield exponential decay for systems where the non-hermitian evolution is either gapped or strongly disordered. The gap exists for example whenever any level of local dephasing is present in the system. The result in the disordered case can be viewed as an extension of Anderson localization to open quantum systems.

  We introduce a method for reconstructing the corresponding Lindbaldian master equation given any target NESS. The kernel (null-space) of the correlation matrix corresponds to Lindbladian solutions. We illustrate the method in different systems, ranging from bosonic Gaussian to dissipative-driven collective spins.

• Diagnosing non-Hermitian Many-Body Localization and Quantum Chaos via Singular Value Decomposition [0.0]
  Strong local disorder in interacting quantum spin chains can turn delocalized eigenmodes into localized eigenstates. This is accompanied by distinct spectral statistics: chaotic for the delocalized phase and integrable for the localized phase. We ask whether random dissipation (without random disorder) can induce chaotic or localized behavior in an otherwise integrable system.

• Exceptional points and exponential sensitivity for periodically driven Lindblad equations [0.0]
  We analyze the system using both adiabatic diagonalization and numerical simulations of the time-evolution. We show how the presence of exceptional points affects the system evolution, leading to a rapid dephasing at these points and a staircase-like loss of coherence. In the Floquet analysis, we map the time-dependent Liouvillian to a non-Hermitian Floquet Hamiltonian and analyze its spectrum.

• Entanglement and localization in long-range quadratic Lindbladians [49.1574468325115]
  Signatures of localization have been observed in condensed matter and cold atomic systems. We propose a model of one-dimensional chain of non-interacting, spinless fermions coupled to a local ensemble of baths. We show that the steady state of the system undergoes a localization entanglement phase transition by tuning $p$ which remains stable in the presence of coherent hopping.

• Growth of entanglement of generic states under dual-unitary dynamics [77.34726150561087]
  Dual-unitary circuits are a class of locally-interacting quantum many-body systems. In particular, they admit a class of solvable" initial states for which, in the thermodynamic limit, one can access the full non-equilibrium dynamics. We show that in this case the entanglement increment during a time step is sub-maximal for finite times, however, it approaches the maximal value in the infinite-time limit.

  We study the time evolution operator in a family of local quantum circuits with random fields in a fixed direction. We show that for the systems under consideration the generalised spectral form factor can be expressed in terms of dynamical correlation functions. This also provides a connection between the many-body Thouless time $tau_rm th$ -- the time at which the generalised spectral form factor starts following the random matrix theory prediction -- and the conservation laws of the system.

• Multidimensional dark space and its underlying symmetries: towards dissipation-protected qubits [62.997667081978825]
  We show that a controlled interaction with the environment may help to create a state, dubbed as em dark'', which is immune to decoherence. To encode quantum information in the dark states, they need to span a space with a dimensionality larger than one, so different states act as a computational basis. This approach offers new possibilities for storing, protecting and manipulating quantum information in open systems.
