Vaporization Dynamics of a Dissipative Quantum Liquid
Vaporization Dynamics of a Dissipative Quantum Liquid
We investigate the stability of a Luttinger liquid, upon suddenly coupling it to a dissipative environment. Within the Lindblad equation, the environment couples to local currents and heats the quantum liquid up to infinite temperatures. The single particle density matrix reveals the fractionalization of fermionic excitations in the spatial correlations …
