Absorption to Fluctuating Bunching States in Non-Unitary Boson Dynamics

Abstract

We show that noisy nonunitary dynamics of bosons drives arbitrary initial states into a novel fluctuating bunching state, where all bosons occupy one time-dependent mode. We propose a concept of the noisy spectral gap, a generalization of the spectral gap in noiseless systems, and demonstrate that the exponentially fast absorption to the fluctuating bunching state takes place asymptotically. The fluctuating bunching state is unique to noisy nonunitary dynamics, with no counterpart in any unitary dynamics and nonunitary dynamics described by a time-independent generator. We also argue that the times of relaxation to the fluctuating bunching state obey a universal power law as functions of the noise parameter in generic noisy nonunitary dynamics.
