- Abstract: Understanding the far-from-equilibrium dynamics of dissipative quantum
systems, where dissipation and decoherence coexist with unitary dynamics, is an
enormous challenge with immense rewards. Often, the only realistic approach is
to forgo a detailed microscopic description and search for signatures of
universal behavior shared by collections of many distinct, yet sufficiently
similar, complex systems. Quantum chaos provides a powerful statistical
framework for addressing this question, relying on symmetries to obtain
information not accessible otherwise. This thesis examines how to reconcile
chaos with dissipation, proceeding along two complementary lines. In Part I, we
apply non-Hermitian random matrix theory to open quantum systems with Markovian
dissipation and discuss the relaxation timescales and steady states of three
representative examples of increasing physical relevance: single-particle
Lindbladians and Kraus maps, open free fermions, and dissipative
Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) models. In Part II, we investigate the symmetries,
correlations, and universality of many-body open quantum systems, classifying
several models of dissipative quantum matter. From a theoretical viewpoint,
this thesis lays out a generic framework for the study of the universal
properties of realistic, chaotic, and dissipative quantum systems. From a
practical viewpoint, it provides the concrete building blocks of dynamical
dissipative evolution constrained by symmetry, with potential technological
impact on the fabrication of complex quantum structures.

Out-of-equilibrium dynamics of a quantum system driven across a quantum phase transition is an important problem.
We develop a universal description of such coarsening dynamics and their interplay with the Kibble-Zurek mechanism.
We highlight how such coarsening dynamics can be directly studied in today's "synthetic" quantum many-body systems.

The emergence of macroscopic coherence in a many-body quantum system is a ubiquitous phenomenon across different physical systems and scales.
Characteristic examples include symmetry-breaking in the Kibble-Zurek mechanism, coarsening and phase-ordering kinetics, and universaltemporal scaling around non-thermal fixed points.
The Chapter concludes with a brief review of the potential relevance of some of these concepts in modelling the large-scale distribution of dark matter in the universe.
