Open classical systems with balanced, spatially separated gain and loss, also called $mathcal{PT}$ symmetric systems, are a subject of intense, ongoing research. We investigate the properties of a classical chain with spatially separated viscous loss and stochastic gain that are balanced only in a statistical sense. For a purely harmonic chain, we show that a split Langevin bath leads to either the absence of thermalization or non-equilibrium steady states with inhomogeneous temperature profile. Both phenomena are understood in terms of normal modes of the chain, where dissipation in one normal mode is correlated with the velocities of all other modes. We obtain closed-form expressions for the mode temperatures and show that nonlinearities lead to steady states due to mode mixing even in the presence of a split Langevin bath.
We study a one-dimensional topological superconductor, the Kitaev chain, under the influence of a non-Hermitian but $mathcal{PT}$-symmetric potential. This potential introduces gain and loss in the system in equal parts. We show that the stability of
Motivated by stochastic models of climate phenomena, the steady-state of a linear stochastic model with additive Gaussian white noise is studied. Fluctuation theorems for nonequilibrium steady-states provide a constraint on the character of these flu
We present a quantum master equation describing a Bose-Einstein condensate with particle loss on one lattice site and particle gain on the other lattice site whose mean-field limit is a non-Hermitian PT-symmetric Gross-Pitaevskii equation. It is show
Bistable systems present two degenerate metastable configurations separated by an energy barrier. Thermal or quantum fluctuations can promote the transition between the configurations at a rate which depends on the dynamical properties of the local e
We study an integrable system that is reducible to free fermions by a Jordan-Wigner transformation which is subjected to a Fibonacci driving protocol based on two non-commuting Hamiltonians. In the high frequency limit $omega to infty$, we show that
