• Title: Asymmetry Amplification by a Nonadiabatic Passage through a Critical Point
• Authors: Bhavay Tyagi, Fumika Suzuki, Vladimir A. Chernyak, Nikolai A. Sinitsyn,
• Abstract summary: We propose and solve a minimal model of dynamic passage through a quantum second order phase transition in the presence of weak symmetry breaking interactions and no dissipation. The evolution eventually leads to a highly asymmetric state, no matter how weak the symmetry breaking term is. This suggests a potential mechanism for strong asymmetry in the production of particles with almost identical characteristics.

• Abstract: We propose and solve a minimal model of dynamic passage through a quantum second order phase transition in the presence of weak symmetry breaking interactions and no dissipation. The evolution eventually leads to a highly asymmetric state, no matter how weak the symmetry breaking term is. This suggests a potential mechanism for strong asymmetry in the production of particles with almost identical characteristics. The model's integrability also allows us to obtain exact Kibble-Zurek exponents for the scaling of the number of nonadiabatic excitations.

  Non-Hermitian quantum many-body systems feature steady-state entanglement transitions driven by unitary dynamics and dissipation. We show that the steady state is obtained by filling single-particle right eigenstates with the largest imaginary part of the eigenvalue. We illustrate these principles in the Hatano-Nelson model with periodic boundary conditions and the non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model.

  We investigate the anisotropic coupled-top model, which describes the interactions between two large spins along both $x-$ and $y-$directions. We can manipulate the system's symmetry, inducing either discrete $Z$ or continuous U(1) symmetry. The framework provides an ideal platform for experimentally controlling symmetries and investigating associated physical phenomena.

• Instability of steady-state mixed-state symmetry-protected topological order to strong-to-weak spontaneous symmetry breaking [14.693424479293737]
  We investigate whether open quantum systems hosting mixed-state symmetry-protected topological states as steady states retain this property under symmetric perturbations. We find that typical symmetric perturbations cause strong-to-weak spontaneous symmetry breaking at arbitrarily small perturbations, destabilize the steady-state mixed-state symmetry-protected topological order. We construct a quantum channel which replicates the essential physics of the Lindbladian and can be efficiently simulated using only Clifford gates, Pauli measurements, and feedback.

  We study perturbations that break the integrability and/or the symmetry of the model, as well as modifications in the measurement protocol, characterizing the resulting chaos and lack of integrability through the Dissipative Spectral Form Factor (DSFF) We show that while the measurement-induced phase transition and its properties appear broadly insensitive to lack of integrability and breaking of the $bbZ$ symmetry, a modification of the measurement basis from the transverse to the longitudinal direction makes the phase transition disappear altogether.

• Stability via symmetry breaking in interacting driven systems [0.0]
  Photonic and bosonic systems subject to incoherent, wide-bandwidth driving cannot typically reach stable finite-density phases using only non-dissipative Hamiltonian nonlinearities. We describe here a very general mechanism for circumventing this common limit, whereby Hamiltonian interactions can cut-off heating from a Markovian pump.

  We consider a system of interacting spinless fermions on a two-leg triangular ladder with $pi/2$ magnetic flux per triangular plaquette. Microscopically, the system exhibits a U(1) symmetry corresponding to the conservation of total fermionic charge, and a discrete $mathbbZ$ symmetry. At the intersection of the three phases, the system features a critical point with an emergent SU(2) symmetry.

• Breaking strong symmetries in dissipative quantum systems: Bosonic atoms coupled to a cavity [0.0]
  In dissipative quantum systems, strong symmetries can lead to the existence of conservation laws and multiple steady states. We show that for ideal bosons coupled to the cavity multiple steady states exist and in each symmetry sector a dissipative phase transition occurs at a different critical point. We point out the phenomenon of dissipative freezing, the breaking of the conservation law at the level of individual realizations in the presence of the strong symmetry.
