• Abstract: Nonequilibrium systems maintain spatiotemporal order through energy dissipation and entropy production. Here, we demonstrate this principle by engineering a quantum limit cycle that emerges from the interplay between a first-order absorbing-state phase transition and feedback mechanism coupling order and control parameters. The quantum limit cycle manifests dynamical correlations driven by multiplicative quantum noise and periodic traverses through tipping points, which act as a robust early-warning signal for state transitions. This periodic crossing results in the enhanced dynamical susceptibility and transient rise of long-range correlations near each tipping event and their subsequent disappearance away from it. These critical transitions are accompanied by a sharp increase in the energy dissipation rate, leading to a stepwise accumulation of dynamical entropy production over time. Our results provide a way for realizing dynamical fluctuations and long-range correlations in strongly interacting driven-dissipative open quantum systems.

  We show that the relaxation dynamics of Markovian open quantum systems can be accelerated exponentially by devising an optimal unitary transformation. This initial "rotation" is engineered in such a way that the state of the quantum system becomes to the slowest decaying dynamical mode. We illustrate our idea by showing how to achieve an exponential speed-up in the convergence to stationarity in Dicke models.
