We experimentally and theoretically investigate the non-equilibrium phase structure of a well-controlled driven-disspative quantum spin system governed by the interplay of coherent driving, spontaneous decay and long-range spin-spin interactions. We discover that the rate of population loss provides a convenient macroscopic observable that exhibits power-law scaling with the driving strength over several orders of magnitude. The measured scaling exponents reflect the underlying non-equilibrium phase structure of the many-body system, which includes dissipation-dominated, paramagnetic and critical regimes as well as an instability which drives the system towards states with high excitation density. This opens up a new means to study and classify quantum systems out of equilibrium and extends the domain where scale-invariant behavior may be found in nature.

How do isolated quantum systems approach an equilibrium state? We experimentally and theoretically address this question for a prototypical spin system formed by ultracold atoms prepared in two Rydberg states with different orbital angular momenta. B
y coupling these states with a resonant microwave driving we realize a dipolar XY spin-1/2 model in an external field. Starting from a spin-polarized state we suddenly switch on the external field and monitor the subsequent many-body dynamics. Our key observation is density dependent relaxation of the total magnetization much faster than typical decoherence rates. To determine the processes governing this relaxation we employ different theoretical approaches which treat quantum effects on initial conditions and dynamical laws separately. This allows us to identify an intrinsically quantum component to the relaxation attributed to primordial quantum fluctuations.
We obtain the exact analytical solution for the continuously driven qutrit in the V and $Lambda$ configurations governed by the Lindblad master equation. We calculate the linear susceptibility in each system, determining regimes of transient gain wit
hout inversion, and identify exact parameter values for superluminal, vanishing, and negative group velocity for the probe signal.
Laser-driven Bose-Einstein condensate of ultracold atoms loaded into a lossy high-finesse optical resonator exhibits critical behavior and, in the thermodynamic limit, a phase transition between stationary states of different symmetries. The system r
ealizes an open-system variant of the celebrated Dicke-model. We study the transition for a finite number of atoms by means of a Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov method adapted to a damped-driven open system. The finite-size scaling exponents are determined and a clear distinction between the non-equilibrium and the equilibrium quantum criticality is found.
The quantum phase transition of the Dicke-model has been observed recently in a system formed by motional excitations of a laser-driven Bose--Einstein condensate coupled to an optical cavity [1]. The cavity-based system is intrinsically open: photons
can leak out of the cavity where they are detected. Even at zero temperature, the continuous weak measurement of the photon number leads to an irreversible dynamics towards a steady-state which exhibits a dynamical quantum phase transition. However, whereas the critical point and the mean field is only slightly modified with respect to the phase transition in the ground state, the entanglement and the critical exponents of the singular quantum correlations are significantly different in the two cases.
We experimentally investigate the dynamical instability of a Bose Einstein condensate in an optical ring resonator for various cavity detuning and pump powers. The resulting phase diagram is asymmetric with respect to the cavity detuning and can be d
escribed by the coupling of two atomic modes with one optical mode. We compare the experimental data to a numerical simulation and to an analytic expression of the phase boundary. For positive and negative pump cavity detuning different coupling mechanisms are identified explaining the asymmetry of the phase diagram. We present a physical interpretation and discuss the connection to the Dicke quantum phase transition.
