Universality in driven open quantum matter

Understand

Universality is a powerful concept, which enables making qualitative and quantitative predictions in systems with extensively many degrees of freedom.

• It finds realizations in almost all branches of physics, including in the realm of nonequilibrium systems.
• Our focus here is on its manifestations within a specific class of nonequilibrium stationary states: driven open quantum matter.
• Progress in this field is fueled by a number of uprising platforms ranging from light-driven quantum materials over synthetic quantum systems like cold atomic gases to the functional devices of the noisy intermediate scale quantum era.
