• Abstract: The 2D toric code is a prototypical example that exhibits non-trivial topological properties and a ground state possessing a non-trivial topological order. Until now, all the cases studied in the literature have been in the stable equilibrium regime, leaving the relaxation towards this state unexplored. In the present work, the dynamics of the toric code towards stable equilibrium is explored within the steepest-entropy-ascent quantum thermodynamic (SEAQT) framework. Under these dynamics, information correlations such as the relative entropy, logarithmic negativity, magnetization, coherent information, and geometric entropy are described out of equilibrium, permitting a connection to be made between the out-of-equilibrium dynamics and these information measures.

  We analyze models governed by the replicator equation of evolutionary game theory and related Lotka-Volterra systems of population dynamics. We study the emergence of exceptional points in two cases: (a) when the governing symmetry properties are tied to global properties of the models, and (b) when these symmetries emerge locally around stationary states.

  interplay between symmetries and entanglement in out-of-equilibrium quantum systems is currently at the centre of an intense multidisciplinary research effort. We show that one can introduce a class of solvable states, which extends that of generic dual unitary circuits. In contrast to the known class of solvable states, which relax to the infinite temperature state, these states relax to a family of non-trivial generalised Gibbs ensembles.
