• Abstract: We consider time dynamics of entanglement entropy between a filled fermionic system and an empty reservoir. We consider scenarios (i) where the system is subjected to a dephasing mechanism and the reservoir is clean, thereby emulating expansion of effectively interacting fermions in vacuum, and (ii) where both the system and the reservoir are subjected to dephasing and thereby enabling us to address how the entanglement between the part of the effectively interacting system and its complement evolves in time. We consider two different kinds of quantum trajectory approaches, namely stochastic unitary unraveling and quantum state diffusion. For both protocols, we observe and characterize the full Page curve-like dynamics for the entanglement entropy. Depending on the protocol and the setup, we observe very distinct characteristics of the Page curve and the associated Page time and Page value. We also compute the number of fermions leaking to the reservoir and the associated current and shed light on their plausible connections with entanglement entropy. Our findings are expected to hold for a wide variety of generic interacting quantum systems.

  We develop a field-theoretical framework that provides a unified approach to observables characterizing entanglement and charge fluctuations. Within this framework, we derive a replicated Keldysh non-linear sigma model (NLSM) By using the renormalization-group approach for the NLSM, we determine the phase diagram and the scaling of physical observables.

• Entanglement preservation in tripartite quantum systems under dephasing dynamics [0.0]
  We investigate the tripartite entanglement dynamics of pure and mixed states in the presence of a structured dephasing environment at finite temperature. We show that the robustness of the quantum system to decoherence is dependent on the distribution of entanglement. The sustainability of tripartite entanglement is shown to be enhanced significantly in presence of reservoir memory.

• 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.

  Phase transitions correspond to the singular behavior of physical systems in response to continuous control parameters like temperature or external fields. Near continuous phase transitions, associated with the divergence of a correlation length, universal power-law scaling behavior with critical exponents independent of microscopic system details is found.

• Self-oscillating pump in a topological dissipative atom-cavity system [55.41644538483948]
  We report on an emergent mechanism for pumping in a quantum gas coupled to an optical resonator. Due to dissipation, the cavity field evolves between its two quadratures, each corresponding to a different centrosymmetric crystal configuration. This self-oscillation results in a time-periodic potential analogous to that describing the transport of electrons in topological tight-binding models.

We find that the breakdown of the quantum-classical correspondence of particle motion, via dramatically changing the spatial structure of many-body wavefunction, leads to profound changes of the entanglement structure.

• From non-equilibrium Green's functions to quantum master equations for the density matrix and out-of-time-order correlators: steady state and adiabatic dynamics [0.0]
  We consider a finite quantum system under slow driving and weakly coupled to thermal reservoirs at different temperatures. We formulate the equations ruling the dynamics of these quantities by recourse to the Schwinger-Keldysh non-equilibrium Green's function formalism. We illustrate the formalism in the case of a qutrit coupled to bosonic reservoirs and of a pair of interacting quantum dots attached to fermionic reservoirs.

  We exploit a regularized version of Umegaki's quantum relative entropy, known as telescopic relative entropy, that is tightly connected to the quantum Jensen-Shannon divergence. We derive general upper bounds on the telescopic relative entropy revivals conditioned and determined by the formation of correlations and changes in the environment.

• Quantum transport between finite reservoirs [5.570257942336495]
  When driven by a potential bias between two finite reservoirs, the particle current across a quantum system evolves from an initial loading through a coherent, followed by a metastable phase, and ultimately fades away upon equilibration. We formulate a theory which fully accounts for the associated, distinct time scales, and identifies the parameter dependence of the decay rate which ultimately controls the convergence towards equilibrium.
