Genuine Bistability in Open Quantum Many-Body Systems
arXiv:2111.05352
Abstract
We analyze the long-time evolution of open quantum many-body systems using a variational approach. For the dissipative Ising model, where mean-field theory predicts a wide region of bistable behavior, we find genuine bistability only at a singular point, confirming the previously suggested picture of a first order transition. The situation is dramatically different when considering a majority-voter model including three-body interactions, where we find bistable behavior in an extended region, owing to the breaking of detailed balance in the the effective description of the system. In this model, genuine bistability persists even when quantum fluctuations are added.
