Thermodynamics of trajectories of the one-dimensional Ising model
We present a numerical study of the dynamics of the one-dimensional Ising
model by applying the large-deviation method to describe ensembles of dynamical
trajectories. In this approach trajectories are classified according to a
dynamical order parameter and the structure of ensembles of trajectories can be
understood from the properties of large-deviation functions, which play the
role of dynamical free-energies. We consider both Glauber and Kawasaki
dynamics, and also the presence of a magnetic field. For Glauber dynamics in
the absence of a field we confirm the analytic predictions of Jack and Sollich
about the existence of critical dynamical, or space-time, phase transitions at
critical values of the "counting" field . In the presence of a magnetic
field the dynamical phase diagram also displays first order transition
surfaces. We discuss how these non-equilibrium transitions in the 1 Ising
model relate to the equilibrium ones of the 2 Ising model. For Kawasaki
dynamics we find a much simple dynamical phase structure, with transitions
reminiscent of those seen in kinetically constrained models.Comment: 23 pages, 10 figure
Thermodynamics of Quantum Jump Trajectories
We apply the large-deviation method to study trajectories in dissipative
quantum systems. We show that in the long time limit the statistics of quantum
jumps can be understood from thermodynamic arguments by exploiting the analogy
between large-deviation and free-energy functions. This approach is
particularly useful for uncovering properties of rare dissipative trajectories.
We also prove, via an explicit quantum mapping, that rare trajectories of one
system can be realized as typical trajectories of an alternative system.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure
Quantum trajectory phase transitions in the micromaser
We study the dynamics of the single atom maser, or micromaser, by means of
the recently introduced method of thermodynamics of quantum jump trajectories.
We find that the dynamics of the micromaser displays multiple space-time phase
transitions, i.e., phase transitions in ensembles of quantum jump trajectories.
This rich dynamical phase structure becomes apparent when trajectories are
classified by dynamical observables that quantify dynamical activity, such as
the number of atoms that have changed state while traversing the cavity. The
space-time transitions can be either first-order or continuous, and are
controlled not just by standard parameters of the micromaser but also by
non-equilibrium "counting" fields. We discuss how the dynamical phase behavior
relates to the better known stationary state properties of the micromaser.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figure

Signatures of many-body localisation in a system without disorder and the relation to a glass transition
We study a quantum spin system—adapted from a facilitated spin model for classical glasses—with local bilinear interactions and without quenched disorder which seems to display characteristic signatures of a many-body localisation (MBL) transition. From direct diagonalisation of small systems, we find a change in certain dynamical and spectral properties at a critical value of a coupling, from those characteristic of a thermalising phase to those characteristic of a MBL phase. The system we consider is known to have a quantum phase transition in its ground-state in the limit of large size, related to a first-order active-to-inactive phase transition in the stochastic trajectories of an associated classical model of glasses. Our results here suggest that this first-order transition in the low-lying spectrum may influence the rest of the spectrum of the system in the large size limit. These findings may help understand the connection between MBL and structural glass transitions
