• Abstract: Quantum many-body systems coupled to out-of-equilibrium reservoirs can behave as active matter and exhibit signs of flocking. However, the resulting steady states are highly mixed and carry only weak quantum signatures. We show that signatures of active matter also arise in ensembles of pure states undergoing monitored quantum dynamics. We consider a spinful Luttinger liquid subject to measurement processes that shuffle spin-up particles to the left and spin-down particles to the right. For weak monitoring strengths and ferromagnetic spin interactions, we find power-law quantum correlations between spin current and charge density, which we identify as a hallmark of active quantum matter. The monitoring plays a dual role, generating the quantum active correlations for weak strengths while driving a Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) phase transition to a shortrange correlated state at larger strengths.

• Spin-Dependent Transport Through a Colloidal Quantum Dot: The Role of Exchange Interactions [0.0]
  We combine atomistic electronic structure calculations with quantum master equation methods to study the transport of electrons and holes through strongly confined quantum dots. We find that a competition between the energy spacing between the two lowest quasiparticle energy levels determines the spin states of the lowest two quasiparticle energy levels. The low density of electron states results in a spin singlet being the lowest energy two-electron state whereas, in contrast, the high density of states and significant exchange interaction results in a spin triplet being the lowest energy two-hole state.

  In the quantum Zeno effect, quantum measurements can block the coherent oscillation of a two level system by freezing its state to one of the measurement eigenstates. We show that the onset of the Zeno regime is marked by a $textitcascade of transitions$ in the system dynamics as the measurement strength is increased.
