• Abstract: We propose a unifying framework for characterizing pure and mixed state phases of matter across equilibrium, non equilibrium, and metastable regimes. We introduce the concept of locally stable states, defined by the operational property that any local operation (including post selection) can be reversed by a local channel. We prove that local stability is equivalent to a state being short range correlated, defined by the decay of both correlations and conditional mutual information. We demonstrate that these properties are invariant under locally reversible channels, thus defining locally stable phases. Furthermore, we prove that local stability implies both the decay of a family of nonlinear correlators, including the fidelity correlator, and the decay of correlations in the canonical purification, thus bridging the gap between mixed and pure states. Along the way, we establish two results which may be of independent interest: we show that post-selection on locally stable (short range correlated) states can be implemented via local channels and that quantum Markov chains can be characterized by the local computability of nonlinear observables.

  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.

  We present a theory of localisation in quasiperiodic chains with nearest-neighbour hoppings, based on the convergence of local propagators. Analysing the convergence of these continued fractions, localisation or its absence can be determined, yielding in turn the critical points and mobility edges. Results are exemplified by analysing the theory for three quasiperiodic models covering a range of behaviour.
