• Abstract: Kinetically constrained spin chains serve as a prototype for structured ergodicity breaking in isolated quantum systems. We show that such a system exhibits a hierarchy of degenerate steady states when driven by incoherent pump and loss at the boundary. By tuning the relative pump and loss and how local the constraints are, one can stabilize mixed steady states, noiseless subsystems, and various decoherence-free subspaces, all of which preserve large amounts of information. We also find that a dipole-conserving bulk suppresses current in steady state. These exact results based on the flow in Hilbert space hold regardless of the specific Hamiltonian or drive mechanism. Our findings show that a competition of kinetic constraints and local drives can induce different forms of ergodicity breaking in open systems, which should be accessible in quantum simulators.

  We report a driven-dissipative mechanism to generate stationary entangled $W$ states among strongly-interacting quantum emitters placed within a cavity. The non-harmonic energy structure of the interacting ensemble allows this transition to be resonantly selected by the cavity. Evidence of this purely dissipative mechanism should be observable in state-of-the-art cavity QED systems in the solid-state.

• Entanglement and localization in long-range quadratic Lindbladians [49.1574468325115]
  Signatures of localization have been observed in condensed matter and cold atomic systems. We propose a model of one-dimensional chain of non-interacting, spinless fermions coupled to a local ensemble of baths. We show that the steady state of the system undergoes a localization entanglement phase transition by tuning $p$ which remains stable in the presence of coherent hopping.

• Disordered monitored free fermions [0.0]
  In monitored free-fermionic models, the steady state undergoes an entanglement transition from a logarithmically entangled critical state to area-law. We show that the critical phase is stable up to a finite disorder and the criticality is consistent with the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless universality. Our work opens the avenue to probe this novel phase transition in electronic systems of quantum dot arrays and nanowires.

  Unavoidable coupling of quantum systems to external degrees of freedom leads to dissipative (non-unitary) dynamics. We introduce a method to deal with these systems based on the calculation of (dissipative) lattice Green's function. We illustrate the power of this method with several examples of driven-dissipative bosonic chains of increasing complexity.

• Onset of many-body quantum chaos due to breaking integrability [0.0]
  We argue that the onset of quantum chaos can be described as a Fock-space delocalization process. The integrability-breaking perturbation introduces hopping in this Fock space, and chaos sets in when this hopping delocalizes the many-body eigenstates in this space. In either case, the perturbation strength at the onset of chaos scales to zero in the usual thermodynamic limit.

  Reservoir engineering is a remarkable task that takes dissipation and decoherence as tools rather than impediments. We develop a collisional model to implement reservoir engineering for the one-dimensional harmonic motion of a trapped ion. Having multiple internal levels, we show that multiple reservoirs can be engineered, allowing for more efficient synthesis of well-known non-classical states of motion.
