Critical properties of a one-dimensional adsorbing state model — •Maryam Roghani and Hendrik Weimer — Institut für Theoretische Physik, Leibniz Universität Hannover, Appelstraße 2, 30167 Hannover, Germany

We study a quantum version of a one-dimensional adsorbing state model [1]. We find evidence for a steady state phase transition between a phase with algebraic correlations (active) and a phase with exponential decay (inactive). Remarkly, this transition appears to be present despite the system being in a mixed state. In the active phase, we also look into the quantum mutual information of the steady state, comparing to scaling predictions from conformal field theory.
