• Abstract: We investigate the steady-state phases of the one-dimensional quantum contact process model with local dissipation. Exploiting the single-site and cluster mean-field approximations, we show the bistability of the absorbing and active phases in the system with strong interaction between neighboring sites, accompanied by the closing of the Liouvillian gap in the thermodynamic limit. Moreover we find that, near the transition point, the system may evolve first to the long-lived metastable state before reaching the eventual steady state, suggesting us to prolong the time-evolution in the numerical simulation to find the true steady state. We also present the extrapolated transition point by systematically including the correlations in the system.

  We study the many-body dynamics in a continuously monitored free fermion system with conditional feedback under open boundary conditions. We find a novel dynamical transition from a logarithmic scaling of the entanglement entropy to an area-law scaling as time evolves. In addition, we find that while quasidisorder or disorder cannot drive a transition for the steady state, a transition occurs for the maximum entanglement entropy during the time evolution.

  In open quantum systems undergoing phase transitions, the intricate interplay between unitary and dissipative processes leaves many information-theoretic properties opaque. We are here interested in interparticle correlations within such systems, specifically examining quantum entanglement, quantum discord, and classical correlation within the steady state of a driven-dissipative collective spin model.

  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.
