Abstract

Fundamental understanding of nonequilibrium phase transitions in quantum many-body systems is still in its infancy but is urgently needed given the recent surge in exploration of light-matter interactions in a variety of quantum systems. A field-theoretical renormalization group study of a light-driven, dissipative model system of bosons contributes an important piece.

Driven-dissipative Bose-Einstein condensation and the upper critical dimension

Yikang Zhang, Thomas Barthel

In open quantum systems, Bose-Einstein condensates can be stabilized by driving and dissipation. The authors analyze the phenomenon with Keldysh field theory and, below the upper critical dimension, with a renormalization-group analysis.

Quantum dynamical field theory for nonequilibrium phase transitions in driven open systems

Jamir Marino, Sebastian Diehl

Driven-dissipative quantum many-body systems, i.e., many-particle systems where quantum coherent dynamics and dissipative effects occur on the same footing, can constitute a promising platform to initiate a systematic classification of quantum dynamical criticality. In this work, the authors show that both nonequilibrium and quantum features can be simultaneously present and persist in the low-frequency properties of a critical one-dimensional driven open Bose gas, and no effective equilibrium description is applicable for this novel type of nonequilibrium quantum criticality.

Universality in driven open quantum matter

Lukas M. Sieberer, Michael Buchhold, Jamir Marino +1 more

Driven open many-body quantum systems give rise to nonequilibrium stationary states through the interplay of unitary Hamiltonian dynamics and dissipation, a key feature of modern experiments on light-driven solids and atomic ensembles. This review explores the different types of universal behavior that emerge in these states and their theoretical classification within nonequilibrium quantum field theory, emphasizing the role of symmetry, topology, and quantum state purity.

Near-equilibrium critical dynamics

Uwe Claus Täuber

Originally, the term ‘dynamic critical phenomena’ was coined for time-dependent properties near second-order phase transitions in thermal equilibrium . The kinetics of phase transitions in magnets, at the gas–liquid transition, and at the normal- to superfluid phase transition in helium 4 were among the prominent examples investigated already in the 1960s. The dynamic scaling hypothesis , generalizing the scaling ansatz for the static correlation function and introducing an additional dynamic critical exponent, successfully described a variety of these experiments. Yet only the development of the systematic renormalization group (RG) approach for critical phenomena in the subsequent decade provided a solid conceptual foundation for phenomenological scaling theories. Supplemented with exact solutions for certain idealized model systems, and guided by invaluable input from computer simulations in addition to experimental data, the renormalization group now provides a general framework to explore not only the static and dynamic properties near a critical point, but also the large-scale and low-frequency response in stable thermodynamic phases. Scaling concepts and the renormalization group have also been successfully applied to phase transitions at zero temperature driven by quantum rather than thermal fluctuations. It is to be hoped that RG methods may help to classify the strikingly rich phenomena encountered in far-from-equilibrium systems as well. Recent advances in studies of simple reaction-diffusion systems, active to absorbing state phase transitions, driven lattice gases, and scaling properties of moving interfaces and growing surfaces, among others, appear promising in this respect.

Quantum Phase Transitions in the 1D Bose-Hubbard Model: From Local Interactions to Cavity-Mediated Dissipation

Muhammad Haris Zafar

The Bose-Hubbard model provides a foundational paradigm for exploring quantum phase transitions in many-body systems. This thesis presents a systematic investigation into this model and its extensions, designed to provide a clear path for understanding both the rich underlying physics and the sophisticated numerical methods required for its study. Our approach is sequential: we begin with the standard one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model, introduce complexity via the extended model with long-range interactions, and conclude by analyzing the impact of dissipation in a cavity-coupled open quantum system.To navigate these regimes, we implement and apply a suite of powerful computational techniques, including Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG), finite-temperature Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC), and Mean-Field Theory (MFT). A significant component of this work is the detailed exposition of the implementation and logic of these numerical methods. Through their comparative application, we precisely characterize the equilibrium phase diagrams and benchmark the capabilities of each method. Crucially, our analysis of the open-system dynamics reveals that dissipation replaces the equilibrium phase diagram with one governed by non-equilibrium steady states (NESS), where the system evolves to either a stable solution or a persistent limit cycle.As such, this thesis is intended to serve a dual purpose: it is both a rigorous physical study of quantum phase transitions in a condensed matter system and a selfcontained pedagogical guide for researchers beginning to explore the phenomenology of quantum phase transitions through numerical schemes.
