Abstract: Active matter is driven out of equilibrium by a local influx of energy. While classical active matter has been extensively studied, the extension of active matter concepts to quantum systems has been explored far less. In this work we develop a full quantum description based on the Wigner function. By introducing a hybrid Wigner master equation that incorporates classical active motion and quantum degrees of freedom, we compute the quantum mean-squared displacement (MSD) using established techniques from classical active matter. We analytically derive the time dependence of the MSD and clarify the conditions under which the characteristic scaling with time $\mathrm{MSD}\sim t^{6}$ emerges. We further show that, for certain parameter and initial conditions, the MSD can exhibit an even steeper scaling regime $\mathrm{MSD}\sim t^{7}$, and we examine the robustness of these behaviors against quantum fluctuations of the initial state.

Thermalization and Criticality on an Analog-Digital Quantum Simulator [133.58336306417294]
We present a quantum simulator comprising 69 superconducting qubits which supports both universal quantum gates and high-fidelity analog evolution. We observe signatures of the classical Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition, as well as strong deviations from Kibble-Zurek scaling predictions. We digitally prepare the system in pairwise-entangled dimer states and image the transport of energy and vorticity during thermalization.

We peruse quantumness from a variety of viewpoints, concentrating on phase-space formulations. The symmetry-transcending properties of the Husimi $Q$ function make it our basic tool.

Quantum Zeno effect appears in stages [64.41511459132334]
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.
