Large deviations, central limit, and dynamical phase transitions in the atom maser
Large deviations, central limit, and dynamical phase transitions in the atom maser
The theory of quantum jump trajectories provides a new framework for understanding dynamical phase transitions in open systems. A candidate for such transitions is the atom maser, which for certain parameters exhibits strong intermittency in the atom detection counts and has a bistable stationary state. Although previous numerical results suggested …
