Abstract

Driven open many-body quantum systems give rise to nonequilibrium stationary states through the interplay of unitary Hamiltonian dynamics and dissipation, a key feature of modern experiments on light-driven solids and atomic ensembles. This review explores the different types of universal behavior that emerge in these states and their theoretical classification within nonequilibrium quantum field theory, emphasizing the role of symmetry, topology, and quantum state purity.
