Summary: Understanding phase transitions in driven many-body systems, the author discusses spontaneous antiunitary symmetry breaking leading to exceptional dynamical quantum phase transitions. Extending phase transition notions to nonequilibrium realm is a fundamental problem in statistical mechanics. The study shows that spontaneous symmetry breaking can occur in short-time régime, causing universal dynamical quantum phase transitions in periodically driven unitary dynamics.

Summary: In this study, we investigate the charging of a quantum battery by modulating the Hamiltonian and find that resonance tunneling at specific drive frequencies can enhance energy transfer and improve energy storage stability. Breaking the integrability allows for global charging of the battery, but there is no quantum advantage in terms of charging power.

Summary: This study investigates the combined effect of quasiperiodic disorder, driven, and interaction in the periodically kicked Aubry-Andre model. The research verifies the existence of a dynamical localization transition in the high-frequency region in the noninteracting limit, and demonstrates the intricate spectrum statistics in the low-frequency region due to the emergence of extended/localized-to-multifractal edges. The introduction of interaction leads to a transition from the ergodic to many-body localization phase in the high-frequency region, but this many-body localization phase vanishes in the low-frequency region even with strong quasiperiodic disorder.

Summary: The study used exact matrix diagonalization to investigate the many-body localization in the disordered Heisenberg XXX model with periodic driving. It found that the fidelity of eigenstate captures quantum criticality and characterizes the many-body localization transition. The strength of disorder affects the critical point of driving period and the magnitude of phase change.

Summary: Localization and delocalization of quantum diffusion in a one-dimensional Anderson model under the quasiperiodic harmonic oscillations of M colors have been systematically investigated. The presence of localization-delocalization transition (LDT) and its critical properties have been studied, and it is found that for M ≥ 3, the LDT exists and normal diffusion is recovered above a critical strength epsilon. The characteristics of diffusion dynamics resemble the predictions for the stochastically perturbed Anderson model, even for small M. The results are also compared with the outcomes of discrete-time quantum maps, such as the Anderson map and the standard map.

Summary: This study introduces a new field theoretic method for calculating Renyi entropy of interacting bosons in subsystems without using replica methods. The method can be applied to dynamics of open and closed quantum systems, and can determine the relationship between the initial state and final density matrix to predict the behavior of entropy over time. The approach also shows that the entropy in non-Markovian dynamics approaches a steady-state value with exponents determined by nonanalyticities of the system's environment.

Summary: This paper investigates the response of integrable systems with a higher number of bands to periodic driving. It is found that the tight-binding model for bilayer graphene responds nonmonotonically to variations in the driving amplitude and frequency, and exhibits near-absolute freezing for certain parameter values when a constant bias is present in the driving.

Summary: We study a fermionic chain with driven nearest-neighbor interaction and find that it exhibits prethermal strong Hilbert space fragmentation (HSF) at specific drive frequencies omega(*)(m) and high drive amplitudes. This is the first realization of strong HSF for out-of-equilibrium systems. We derive analytic expressions for omega(*)(m) using Floquet perturbation theory and numerically compute entanglement entropy, equal-time correlation functions, and density autocorrelation of fermions. All these quantities demonstrate clear signatures of strong HSF. We also investigate the fate of HSF as one deviates from omega(*)(m) and discuss the extent of the prethermal regime as a function of the drive amplitude.

Summary: Many-body localized (MBL) systems cannot reach thermal equilibrium under their own dynamics, even though they are interacting, nonintegrable, and in an extensively excited state. One instability toward thermalization of MBL systems is the avalanche, where a locally thermalizing rare region is able to spread thermalization through the full system. We find a detailed connection between many-body resonances and avalanches in MBL systems.

Summary: We investigated many-body localization (MBL) of interacting one-dimensional lattice fermions in random and quasiperiodic models, with a focus on the role of interaction range. Our results revealed a qualitative symmetry between weak and strong interaction limits for short-range interactions, while for long-range interactions, the system was always many-body localized and similar to a pinned Wigner crystal.

Summary: This article investigates the stability of steady states in many-body systems coupled to a large thermal reservoir. By modeling the system and the reservoir as classical spin chains and simulating the Hamiltonian dynamics, the authors find that at high frequencies, the system reaches a Floquet-type Gibbs state at the reservoir temperature, while at low frequencies, a global synchronized Gibbs state emerges with a potentially different temperature from the reservoir. The authors argue that although their analysis relies on specific properties of their setup, much of the phenomenology could be applicable to other systems.

Summary: The study explores periodically driven many-body systems and extends the phenomenon of prethermalization to low drive frequencies. Numerical evidence shows the formation of a long-lived prethermal plateau, while nonuniversal heating rates are observed. The inverse-frequency expansion accurately describes the thermostatic properties throughout the evolution.

Summary: We investigate the energy distribution and quantum thermodynamics in periodically-driven polaritonic systems at room temperature. We study the energy reorganization between two systems and their interaction as a function of coupling strength, driving force, and detuning. By deriving the quantum master equation and calculating the long-time evolution, we obtain the equilibrium state of the system.

Summary: The violation of the Floquet version of the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis is discussed with realistic Hamiltonians, rigorously proving the existence of many-body scar states in the Floquet eigenstates. The breakdown of the Floquet eigenstate thermalization hypothesis is demonstrated for the first time through explicit expressions of the wave functions, providing insight into the underlying physical mechanism. Floquet-scar states can be systematically engineered in various driven Hamiltonians based on this mechanism, and can be checked through time evolution of observables in a chain of Rydberg atoms.

Summary: In this study, we investigate the properties of randomly driven (1 + 1) dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs), revealing the characteristics of non-equilibrium dynamical phases, including the heating phase and exceptional points. In most cases, random drivings lead to exponential growth of total energy and linear growth of subsystem entanglement entropy. However, at exceptional points, the subsystem entanglement entropy may grow as the square root of the number of driving steps, while the total energy still grows exponentially. Furthermore, we distinguish the heating phase from exceptional points by analyzing the distributions of operator evolution and energy density peaks.

Summary: In this study, we investigate the geometry of wormholes in the framework of general relativity and explore how quantum wave dark matter affects the dynamical configuration of the shell surrounding the wormhole. By using specific shape functions and introducing quantum wave dark matter, we obtain reasonable wormhole solutions and observe its effects on the stability of the shell.

Summary: Calorimetry for equilibrium systems aims to determine the energy levels' occupation and distribution by measuring thermal response, while nonequilibrium versions provide additional information on the dynamical accessibility of these states. Using calculations on a driven exclusion process, it is confirmed that a fermionic nonequilibrium steady state with exact computation of specific heat can be achieved. The divergence at zero temperature occurs when the Fermi energy and the kinetic barrier for loading and emptying are approximately equal. Additionally, a stable low temperature regime of negative specific heat appears when the kinetic barrier is density-dependent, indicating an anti-correlation between the stationary occupation's temperature-dependence and excess heat.

Summary: We obtained the metric of the Hayward black hole surrounded by a cloud of strings, and analyzed the effects of the string cloud on the regularity of the solution and the energy conditions. Various aspects such as horizons, geodesics, effective potential, and thermodynamics were investigated. We compared the obtained results with the literature corresponding to the Hayward black hole without a string cloud.
