Open quantum many-body systems

Oded Zilberberg

In recent years, there has been rapid development in control and manipulation of coherent quantum systems. These advances allow for the study and utilization of coherent quantum phenomena as well as the exploration of quantum mechanical concepts that were formerly of purely theoretical interest in realistic many-body setups. Commonly, in quantum engineered systems, we strive to keep the impact of the environment at a minimum. However, the environment is always present and can lead to numerous fascinating effects. In my talk, I will detail as examples dissipative phase transitions in light-matter systems, the impact of a noisy environment on interacting (1D) wire physics, and even phase transitions induced by a quantum detector next to a charge qubit.
