Article Abstract
We study the influence of a linear energy bias on a nonequilibrium excitation on a chain of molecules coupled to local vibrations (a tilted Holstein model) using both a random-walk rate kernel theory and a nonperturbative, massively parallelized adaptive-basis algorithm. We uncover structured and discrete vibronic resonance behavior fundamentally different from both linear response theory and homogeneous polaron dynamics. Remarkably, resonance between the phonon energy ℏω and the bias δ occurs not only at integer but also fractional ratios δ/(ℏω) = /, which effect long-range -bond -phonon tunneling. These observations are reproduced in a model calculation of a recently demonstrated Cy3 system, and the effect of dipole-dipole-type non-nearest-neighbor coupling and vibrationally relaxed initial states is also considered. Potential applications range from molecular electronics to optical lattices and artificial light harvesting via vibronic engineering of coherent quantum transport.

Correlation Decoupling of Casimir Interaction in an Electrolyte Driven by External Electric Fields.

It is well established that the long-range van der Waals or thermal Casimir interaction between two semi-infinite dielectrics separated by a distance H is screened by an intervening electrolyte. Here we show how this interaction is modified when an electric field of strength E is applied parallel to the dielectric boundaries, leading to a nonequilibrium steady state with a current. The presence of the field induces a long-range thermal repulsive interaction, scaling just like the thermal Casimir interaction between dielectrics without the intervening electrolyte, i.

Article Synopsis
- Long-range spin-spin interactions can create nonequilibrium dynamics that enhance the collective spin of quantum ensembles, improving entanglement as the system size increases.
- The study shows that even short-range interactions in 2D U(1)-symmetric systems can lead to scalable squeezing, particularly in a critical phase that does not exhibit long-range order at finite temperatures.
- The findings suggest that slow magnetization decay during nonequilibrium dynamics can protect scalable squeezing, paving the way for the creation of large entangled states in various quantum technologies, such as ultracold atoms and superconducting circuits.
Anomalous Directed Percolation on a Dynamic Network Using Rydberg Facilitation.

The facilitation of Rydberg excitations in a gas of atoms provides an ideal model system to study epidemic evolution on (dynamic) networks and self-organization of complex systems to the critical point of a nonequilibrium phase transition. Using Monte Carlo simulations and a machine learning algorithm we show that the universality class of this phase transition can be tuned but is robust against decay inherent to the self-organization process. The classes include directed percolation (DP), the most common class in short-range spreading models, and mean-field (MF) behavior, but also different types of anomalous directed percolation (ADP), characterized by rare long-range excitation processes.

Understanding quantum many-body systems with long-range or infinite-range interactions is of relevance across a broad set of physical disciplines, including quantum optics, nuclear magnetic resonance, and nuclear physics. From a theoretical viewpoint, these systems are appealing since they can be efficiently studied with numerics, and in the thermodynamic limit are expected to be governed by mean-field equations of motion. Over the past years the capabilities to experimentally create long-range interacting systems have dramatically improved permitting their control in space and time.

Disordered hyperuniform structures are an exotic state of matter having suppressed density fluctuations at large length-scale similar to perfect crystals and quasicrystals but without any long range orientational order. In the past decade, an increasing number of non-equilibrium systems were found to have dynamic hyperuniform states, which have emerged as a new research direction coupling both non-equilibrium physics and hyperuniformity. Here we review the recent progress in understanding dynamic hyperuniform states found in various non-equilibrium systems, including the critical hyperuniformity in absorbing phase transitions, non-equilibrium hyperuniform fluids and the hyperuniform structures in phase separating systems via spinodal decomposition.
