Dynamical criticality in open systems: nonperturbative physics, microscopic origin, and direct observation (2018)
Journal Article
Pérez-Espigares, C., Carollo, F., Garrahan, J. P., & Hurtado, P. I. (2018). Dynamical criticality in open systems: nonperturbative physics, microscopic origin, and direct observation. Physical Review E, 98(6), Article 060102(R). https://doi.org/10.1103/physreve.98.060102

Driven diffusive systems may undergo phase transitions to sustain atypical values of the current. This leads in some cases to symmetry-broken space-time trajectories which enhance the probability of such fluctuations. Here, we shed light on both the...

Glassy dynamics due to a trajectory phase transition in dissipative Rydberg gases (2018)
Journal Article
Pérez-Espigares, C., Lesanovsky, I., Garrahan, J. P., & Gutiérrez, R. (2018). Glassy dynamics due to a trajectory phase transition in dissipative Rydberg gases. Physical Review A, 98(2), https://doi.org/10.1103/physreva.98.021804

The physics of highly excited Rydberg atoms is governed by blockade or exclusion interactions that hinder the excitation of atoms in the proximity of a previously excited one. This leads to cooperative effects and a relaxation dynamics displaying spa... Read More about Glassy dynamics due to a trajectory phase transition in dissipative Rydberg gases.

Making rare events typical in Markovian open quantum systems (2018)
Journal Article
Carollo, F., Garrahan, J. P., Lesanovsky, I., & Pérez-Espigares, C. (2018). Making rare events typical in Markovian open quantum systems. Physical Review A, 98(1), Article 010103. https://doi.org/10.1103/physreva.98.010103

Large dynamical fluctuations—atypical realizations of the dynamics sustained over long periods of time—can play a fundamental role in determining the properties of collective behavior of both classical and quantum nonequilibrium systems. Rare dynamic... Read More about Making rare events typical in Markovian open quantum systems.

Fluctuating hydrodynamics, current fluctuations and hyperuniformity in boundary-driven open quantum chains (2017)
Journal Article
Carollo, F., Garrahan, J. P., Lesanovsky, I., & Pérez-Espigares, C. (2017). Fluctuating hydrodynamics, current fluctuations and hyperuniformity in boundary-driven open quantum chains. Physical Review E, 96(5), Article 052118. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevE.96.052118

We consider a class of either fermionic or bosonic non-interacting open quantum chains driven by dissipative interactions at the boundaries and study the interplay of coherent transport and dissipative processes, such as bulk dephasing and diffusion....

Epidemic dynamics in open quantum spin systems (2017)
Journal Article
Perez-Espigares, C., Marcuzzi, M., Gutierrez, R., & Lesanovsky, I. (2017). Epidemic dynamics in open quantum spin systems. Physical Review Letters, 119(14), 1-6. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.119.140401

We explore the non-equilibrium evolution and stationary states of an open many-body system which displays epidemic spreading dynamics in a classical and a quantum regime. Our study is motivated by recent experiments conducted in strongly interacting... Read More about Epidemic dynamics in open quantum spin systems.
