“…This current is suppressed by dynamical self-trapping due to interactions producing again very stable solitonic states of atoms. New questions for future research include the presence of disorder [45,46] and its impact on many-body quantum transport. Also the simultaneous presence of transport and coherent driving may be investigated, see e.g.…”

Open many-body quantum systems have recently gained renewed interest in the context of quantum information science and quantum transport with biological clusters and ultracold atomic gases. We present a series of results in diverse setups based on a Master equation approach to describe the dissipative dynamics of ultracold bosons in a one-dimensional lattice. We predict the creation of mesoscopic stable many-body structures in the lattice and study the non-equilibrium transport of neutral atoms in the regime of strong and weak interactions.

“…As a final note, we report that a semiclassical approach based on interfering paths in Fock space has been recently introduced directly for discrete systems, such as for a closed BoseHubbard model [174][175][176]. Also a semiclassical Gutzwiller trace formula is brought forward [177] for the Bose-Hubbard model in the chaotic regime [178][179][180][181].…”

Open many-body quantum systems have attracted renewed interest in the context of quantum information science and quantum transport with biological clusters and ultracold atomic gases. The physical relevance in many-particle bosonic systems lies in the realization of counterintuitive transport phenomena and the stochastic preparation of highly stable and entangled many-body states due to engineered dissipation. We review a variety of approaches to describe an open system of interacting ultracold bosons which can be modeled by a tight-binding Hubbard approximation. Going along with the presentation of theoretical and numerical techniques, we present a series of results in diverse setups, based on a master equation description of the dissipative dynamics of ultracold bosons in a one-dimensional lattice. Next to by now standard numerical methods such as the exact unravelling of the master equation by quantum jumps for small systems and beyond mean-field expansions for larger ones, we present a coherent-state path integral formalism based on Feynman-Vernon theory applied to a many-body context.

Based on previous studies in a single-particle system in both the integrable [Jarzynski, Quan, and Rahav, Phys. Rev. X 5, 031038 (2015)] and the chaotic systems [Zhu, Gong, Wu, and Quan, Phys. Rev. E 93, 062108 (2016)], we study the the correspondence principle between quantum and classical work distributions in a quantum many-body system. Even though the interaction and the indistinguishability of identical particles increase the complexity of the system, we find that for a quantum many-body system the quantum work distribution still converges to its classical counterpart in the semiclassical limit. Our results imply that there exists a correspondence principle between quantum and classical work distributions in an interacting quantum many-body system, especially in the large particle number limit, and further justify the definition of quantum work via two-point energy measurements in quantum many-body systems.
