• Abstract: We show that steady-state entanglement in open quantum systems is controlled by the phase reference of a phase-sensitive reservoir. Using a covariance-matrix approach for Gaussian-preserving dynamics, we demonstrate that purely local, phase-sensitive dissipation can generate entanglement when combined with coherent coupling. The steady state exhibits a finite entangled region with an optimal squeezing strength that maximizes both the magnitude and thermal robustness of entanglement. We find that coherent coupling does not enhance entanglement monotonically, but instead regulates the conversion of local squeezing into nonlocal correlations. Importantly, the coupling dependence is controlled by the phase reference of the squeezed reservoir: phase-locked (rotating-frame) and laboratory-frame implementations yield qualitatively distinct steady states and entanglement structure. These results establish phase-sensitive reservoir engineering as a controllable route to steady-state entanglement in continuous-variable systems. Steady-state entanglement in phase-sensitive open systems depends explicitly on the reservoir phase reference and is not invariant under changes of that reference.}

  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.

• Dynamical entanglement transition in the probabilistic control of chaos [0.0]
  We uncover a dynamical entanglement transition in a monitored quantum system heralded by a local order parameter. We show that such control transitions persist in open quantum systems where control is implemented with local measurements and unitary feedback. Unlike other entanglement transitions in monitored quantum circuits, this transition can also be probed by correlation functions without resolving individual quantum trajectories.

• Monitored Open Fermion Dynamics: Exploring the Interplay of Measurement, Decoherence, and Free Hamiltonian Evolution [0.0]
  We investigate the impact of dephasing and the inevitable evolution into a non-Gaussian, mixed state, on the dynamics of monitored fermions. For weak dephasing, constant monitoring preserves a weakly mixed state, which displays a robust measurement-induced phase transition. We interpret this as a signature of gapless, classical diffusion, which is stabilized by the balanced interplay of Hamiltonian dynamics, measurements, and decoherence.
