Non‐equilibrium dynamics in dissipative Bose‐Hubbard chains

Abstract

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. A series of results in diverse setups is presented, based on a Master equation approach to describe the dissipative dynamics of ultracold bosons in a one‐dimensional lattice. The creation of mesoscopic stable many‐body structures in the lattice is predicted and the non‐equilibrium transport of neutral atoms in the regime of strong and weak interactions is studied.
