• Abstract: We investigate both ordered and chaotic Bohmian trajectories within the Born distribution of Bohmian particles of an anisotropic 2d quantum harmonic oscillator. We compute the average values of energy, momentum, angular momentum, and position using both Standard Quantum Mechanics and Bohmian Mechanics. In particular, we examine realizations of the Born distribution for a wavefunction with a single nodal point and two different wavefunctions with multiple nodal points: one with an almost equal number of ordered and chaotic trajectories, and another composed primarily of chaotic trajectories. Throughout our analysis, we focus on elucidating the contribution of ordered and chaotic Bohmian trajectories in determining these average values.

  We experimentally study collective dynamics across a (2+1)D Ising quantum phase transition. By deterministically preparing and following the evolution of ordered domains, we show that the coarsening is driven by the curvature of domain boundaries. We quantitatively explore these phenomena and further observe long-lived oscillations of the order parameter, corresponding to an amplitude (Higgs) mode.

  Equivalent approaches to determine eigenfrequencies of the Liouvillians of open quantum systems are discussed. A simple damped two-level atom is analyzed to demonstrate the equivalence of both approaches. The presented approach paves the general way to a detailed analysis of quantum exceptional and diabolical points in infinitely dimensional open quantum systems.

  We numerically investigate quantum entanglement and correlation of sub-Ohmic and Ohmic baths for dissipative quantum phase transitions. With several measures borrowed from quantum information theory, three different types of singularities are found for the first-order, second-order, and Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transitions. The scaling form of the quantum discord in the Ohmic case is identified, quite different from that in the sub-Ohmic regime.

• Dissipative quantum dynamics, phase transitions and non-Hermitian random matrices [0.0]
  We work in the framework of the dissipative Dicke model which is archetypal of symmetry-breaking phase transitions in open quantum systems. We establish that the Liouvillian describing the quantum dynamics exhibits distinct spectral features of integrable and chaotic character. Our approach can be readily adapted for classifying the nature of quantum dynamics across dissipative critical points in other open quantum systems.
