• Abstract: Characterization of the dynamics of an impurity immersed in a quantum medium is vital for fundamental understanding of matter as well as applications in modern day quantum technologies. The case of strong and long-ranged interactions is of particular importance here, as it opens the possibility to leverage quantum correlations in controlling the system properties. Here, we consider a charged impurity moving in a bosonic gas and study its properties out of equilibrium. We extract the stationary momentum of the ion at long times, which is nonzero due to the superfluid nature of the medium, and the effective mass which stems from dressing the impurity with the host atoms. The nonlinear evolution leads not only to emission of density waves, but also momentum transfer back to the ion, resulting in the possibility of oscillatory dynamics.

  Non-equilibrium quantum transport is crucial to technological advances ranging from nanoelectronics to thermal management. We demonstrate the emergence of non-equilibrium steady quantum transport by emulating the baths with qubit ladders and realising steady particle currents between the baths. Our investigation paves the way for a new generation of experimental exploration of non-equilibrium quantum transport in strongly correlated quantum matter.

• Quantum electrodynamics under a quench [0.0]
  We investigate the nonequilibrium regime of quantum electrodynamics following a global quantum quench. Specifically, a massive Dirac fermion is quenched to a gapless state with an interaction with gauge bosons. In stark contrast to equilibrium (3+1)-dimensional QED with gapless Dirac fermions, where the coupling is marginally irrelevant, we identify a nonequilibrium fixed point characterized by nonFermi liquid behavior.

  We study the collective oscillations of spin-polarized fermionic impurities immersed in a Bose-Einstein condensate. For strong interactions, the Fermi gas perfectly mimics the superfluid hydrodynamic modes of the condensate. With an increasing number of bosonic thermal excitations, the dynamics of the impurities cross over from the collisionless to the hydrodynamic regime.

  We study the transport properties of materials characterized by strong electron-phonon coupling, in contact with a dissipative environment. We combine the non-Markovian hierarchy of pure states method and the Markovian quantum jumps method with the newly introduced purified density-matrix renormalization group. Surprisingly, our results show that in the metallic phase dissipation localizes the bipolarons, which is reminiscent of an indirect quantum Zeno effect.

  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.
