Abstract: We study collective quantum phases and quantum phase transitions occurring in frustrated sawtooth arrays of small quantum Josephson junctions. Frustration is introduced through the periodic arrangement of $0$- and $\pi$- Josephson junctions with the Josephson coupling energies $\alpha E_\mathrm{J}$ of different signs, $-1\leq \alpha \leq 1$. The complexity of the potential landscape of the system is controlled by the frustration parameter $f=(1-\alpha)/2$. The potential energy has a single global minimum in the non-frustrated regime ($f<f_\mathrm{cr}=0.75$) and a macroscopic number of equal minima in the frustrated regime ($f>f_\mathrm{cr}=0.75$). We address the coherent quantum regime and identify several collective quantum phases: disordered (insulating) and ordered (superconducting) phases in the non-frustrated regime, as well as highly entangled patterns of vortices and anti-vortices in the frustrated regime. These collective quantum phases are controlled by several physical parameters: the frustration $f$, the Josephson coupling, and the charging energies of junctions and islands. We map the control parameter phase diagram by characterizing the quantum dynamics of frustrated Josephson junction arrays by spatially and temporally resolved quantum-mechanical correlation function of the local magnetization.

Quantum dynamics of frustrated Josephson junction arrays embedded in a transmission line: an effective XX spin chain with long-range interaction [0.0]
We study theoretically a variety of collective quantum phases occurring in frustrated saw-tooth chains of Josephson junctions embedded in a dissipationless transmission line. The direct embedding of $pi$-Josephson junctions in a transmission line allows to establish a short/long-range interaction between (anti)vortices of well separated cells.

Long-range Ising spins models emerging from frustrated Josephson junctions arrays with topological constraints [0.0]
We analyze frustrated Kagome lattice of Josephson junctions and identify various classical and quantum phases. In the frustrated regime the macroscopic phases are composed of different patterns of vortex/antivortex penetrating each basic element of the Kagome lattice. In the coherent quantum regime we analyze the lifting of the degeneracy of the ground state and the appearance of the highly entangled states.

Degeneracy in excited-state quantum phase transitions of two-level bosonic models and its influence on system dynamics [5.117091825006161]
We analyze the degeneracy dependence on the size of two-level boson models with a $u(n+1)$ dynamical algebra. We show that the infinite-time average of out-of-time-order correlators is an ESQPT order parameter in finite systems with $n=1$, but in systems with $n>1$, this average only works as an order parameter in the mean-field limit.

The Josephson junction as a quantum engine [44.56439370306859]
Cooper pairs in superconducting electrodes of a Josephson junction (JJ) as an open system, coupled via Andreev scattering to external baths of electrons. Disequilibrium between the baths generates the direct-current bias applied to the JJ. We argue that this picture of the JJ as a quantum engine resolves open questions about the Josephson effect as an irreversible process and could open new perspectives in quantum thermodynamics and in the theory of dynamical systems.

Continuous phase transition induced by non-Hermiticity in the quantum contact process model [44.58985907089892]
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 dynamics of a single fluxon in Josephson junctions parallel arrays with large kinetic inductances [0.0]
We present a theoretical study of coherent quantum dynamics of a single magnetic fluxon trapped in Josephson junction parallel arrays (JJPAs) The coherent quantum dynamics of MF demonstrates decaying quantum oscillations with characteristic frequency $f_qb=Delta/h$. In the presence of externally applied dc bias, $I$, a weakly incoherent dynamics of quantum MF is realized in the form of macroscopic oscillations leading to a typical "nose" current-voltage characteristics of JJPAs.

Mesoscopic quantum superposition states of weakly-coupled matter-wave solitons [58.720142291102135]
We establish quantum features of an atomic soliton Josephson junction (SJJ) device. We show that the SJJ-model in quantum domain exhibits unusual features due to its effective nonlinear strength proportional to the square of total particle number. We have shown that the obtained quantum state is more resistant to few particle losses from the condensates if tiny components of entangled Fock states are present.
