Steady-state phases and tunneling-induced instabilities in the driven dissipative Bose-Hubbard model.
We determine the steady-state phases of a driven-dissipative Bose-Hubbard model, describing, e.g., an array of coherently pumped nonlinear cavities with a finite photon lifetime. Within a mean-field master equation approach using exact quantum solutions for the one-site problem, we show that the system exhibits a tunneling-induced transition between monostable and bistable phases. We characteri...
متن کاملVariational principle for steady states of dissipative quantum many-body systems.
We present a novel generic framework to approximate the nonequilibrium steady states of dissipative quantum many-body systems. It is based on the variational minimization of a suitable norm of the quantum master equation describing the dynamics. We show how to apply this approach to different classes of variational quantum states and demonstrate its successful application to a dissipative exten...
متن کاملSpontaneous symmetry breaking in a quadratically driven nonlinear photonic lattice
We investigate the occurrence of a phase transition, characterized by the spontaneous breaking of a discrete symmetry, in a driven-dissipative Bose-Hubbard lattice in the presence of two-photon coherent driving. The driving term does not lift the original U(1) symmetry completely and a discrete Z2 symmetry is left. When driving the bottom of the Bose-Hubbard band, a mean-field analysis of the s...
متن کاملDriven-dissipative Bose-einstein Condensates
Driven-dissipative Bose-Einstein condensates Ultracold quantum gases are usually well isolated from the environment. This allows for the study of ground state properties and unitary dynamics of many-body quantum systems under almost ideal conditions. Introducing a controlled coupling to the environment “opens” the quantum system and non-unitary dynamics can be investigated. Such an approach pro...
متن کاملNon-equilibrium conductivity at quantum critical points
Quantum criticality provides an important route to revealing universal non-equilibrium behaviour. A canonical example of a quantum critical point is the Bose-Hubbard model, which we study under the application of an electric field. A Boltzmann transport formalism and ǫ-expansion are used to obtain the non-equilibrium conductivity and current noise. This approach allows us to explicitly identify...
