In recent years, one important experimental achievement was the strong coupling of quantum matter and quantum light. Realizations reach from ultracold atomic gases in high-finesse optical resonators to electronic systems coupled to THz cavities. The dissipative nature of the quantum light field and the global coupling to the quantum matter leads to many exciting phenomena such as the occurrence of dissipative quantum phase transition to self-organized exotic phases. The theoretical treatment of these dissipative hybrid systems of matter coupled to a cavity field is very challenging. Previously, often mean-field approaches were applied which characterize the emergence of self-organized phases as a zero-temperature transition for the particles, a ground-state Dicke transition. Here we develop a new approach which combines a mean-field approach with a perturbative treatment of fluctuations beyond mean-field, which becomes exact in the thermodynamic limit. We argue that these fluctuations are crucial in order to determine the mixed state (finite temperature) character of the transition and to unravel universal properties of the self-organized states. We validate our results by comparing to time-dependent matrix-product-state calculations.
The Dicke model with a weak dissipation channel is realized by coupling a Bose-Einstein condensate to an optical cavity with ultra-narrow bandwidth. We explore the dynamical critical properties of the Hepp-Lieb-Dicke phase transition by performing qu
One fundamental assumption in statistical physics is that generic closed quantum many-body systems thermalize under their own dynamics. Recently, the emergence of many-body localized systems has questioned this concept, challenging our understanding
In the presence of sufficiently strong disorder or quasiperiodic fields, an interacting many-body system can fail to thermalize and become many-body localized. The associated transition is of particular interest, since it occurs not only in the groun
In the presence of disorder, an interacting closed quantum system can undergo many-body localization (MBL) and fail to thermalize. However, over long times even weak couplings to any thermal environment will necessarily thermalize the system and eras
Numerical simulations are a powerful tool to study quantum systems beyond exactly solvable systems lacking an analytic expression. For one-dimensional entangled quantum systems, tensor network methods, amongst them Matrix Product States (MPSs), have
