Dynamical many-body phases of the parametrically driven, dissipative Dicke model

Abstract

The dissipative Dicke model exhibits a fascinating out-of-equilibrium many-body phase transition as a function of a coupling between a driven photonic cavity and numerous two-level atoms. We study the effect of a time-dependent parametric modulation of this coupling, and discover a rich phase diagram as a function of the modulation strength. We find that in addition to the established normal and super-radiant phases, a new phase with pulsed superradiance which we term dynamical normal phase appears when the system is parametrically driven. Employing different methods, we characterize the different phases and the transitions between them. Specific heed is paid to the role of dissipation in determining the phase boundaries. Our analysis paves the road for the experimental study of dynamically stabilized phases of interacting light and matter.

Ab initio path-integral Monte Carlo results for the one-particle spectral function of the warm dense electron gas

We present quasi-exact \emph{ab initio} path-integral Monte Carlo results for the Matsubara Green's function of the uniform electron gas (UEG) at finite temperature over a broad range of coupling strengths ($r_s=1,\dots,10)$. We further extract the static self-energy $Σ_\infty(p)$ and perform an analytic continuation for spectral function $A(p,ω)$, conclusively ruling out the possibility of distinct satellite features at these conditions. In addition, our work opens up intriguing avenues to study the single-particle spectrum and density of states of real warm dense matter systems based on first principles.

Non-Hermitian engineering of superfluidity in a Rashba spin-orbit-coupled Fermi gas

We investigate superfluid pairing in a two-dimensional Rashba spin-orbit-coupled Fermi gas subject to spin-selective one-body loss. Within the non-Hermitian mean-field framework, we self- consistently solve the gap and number equations and find that moderate dissipation can significantly enhance the pairing gap, resulting in a pronounced nonmonotonic dependence on the dissipation strength. Dissipation also provides an additional control parameter for driving the system across the BCS-BEC crossover. We further analyze the quasi-particle spectrum and identify two distinct superfluid regimes characterized by one and three exceptional rings, separated by an exceptional spectral transition. Interestingly, dissipation can enhance both pairing channels while simultaneously inducing a momentum-dependent phase twist in the triplet component. These results demonstrate that spin-selective dissipation provides a versatile non-Hermitian control knob for manipulating superfluid pairing, spectral structure, and crossover physics in spin-orbit-coupled quantum gases.

Quantum dynamics of spinful impurity in ideal Bose gas

We discuss the quench dynamics of an isolated system composed of a single spinful impurity in the transverse Rabi field and bath of non-interacting three- and two-dimensional bosons. Specifically, we consider the evolution of bosons and a spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ particle, initially prepared in a Bose-Einstein condensate state and a magnetic ground state, respectively, with the spin-dependent contact boson-impurity interaction switched on. Applying an original mean-field-like approximation, which naturally reflects the statistical effects of the bosonic bath, we calculate time-dependent components of the average impurity spin and the overlap of the wave function between initial and arbitrary time moments. A key prediction is a substantial speed-up in the decoherence (thermalization) dynamics of the spin degree of freedom compared to results obtained with the Chevy-like ansatz.
