• Abstract: Open driven quantum systems have defined a powerful paradigm of non-equilibrium phases and phase transitions; however, quantum phase transitions are generically not expected in this setting due to the decohering effect of dissipation. In this work, we show that a driven-dissipative quantum spin chain exhibits a peculiar sensitivity to the ground-state quantum phase transition. Specifically, we consider a quantum Ising model subject to bulk dissipation (at rate $\Gamma$) and show that, although the correlation length remains finite (hence no phase transition), it develops a pronounced peak close to the ground-state quantum critical point. While standard techniques seem to fail in this regime, we develop a versatile analytical approach that becomes exact with vanishing dissipation ($\Gamma \to 0$ but finite $\Gamma t$). On a technical level, our approach builds on previous work where the state of the system is described by a slowly evolving generalized Gibbs ensemble that accounts for the integrability of the Hamiltonian (described by free fermions) while treating dissipation perturbatively which leads to nontrivial, nonlinear equations for fermionic correlators. Finally, we demonstrate a kind of universality in that integrability-breaking perturbations of the Hamiltonian lead to the same behavior.

  How the property of quantum many-body system especially the phase transition will be affected by the non-hermiticity remains unclear. We show that there is a continuous phase transition induced by the non-hermiticity in QCP. We observe that the order parameter and susceptibility display infinitely even for finite size system, since non-hermiticity endows universality many-body system with different singular behaviour from classical phase transition.

• Quantum fluctuations and correlations in open quantum Dicke models [0.0]
  In the vicinity of ground-state phase transitions quantum correlations can display non-analytic behavior and critical scaling. Here we consider as a paradigmatic setting the superradiant phase transition of the open quantum Dicke model. We show that local dissipation, which cannot be treated within the commonly employed Holstein-Primakoff approximation, rather unexpectedly leads to an enhancement of collective quantum correlations.

• Quantum Statistical Complexity Measure as a Signalling of Correlation Transitions [55.41644538483948]
  We introduce a quantum version for the statistical complexity measure, in the context of quantum information theory, and use it as a signalling function of quantum order-disorder transitions. We apply our measure to two exactly solvable Hamiltonian models, namely: the $1D$-Quantum Ising Model and the Heisenberg XXZ spin-$1/2$ chain. We also compute this measure for one-qubit and two-qubit reduced states for the considered models, and analyse its behaviour across its quantum phase transitions for finite system sizes as well as in the thermodynamic limit by using Bethe ansatz.
