摘要：

Thanksto the recent impressing experimental progresses, the investigation ofnon-equilibrium properties of driven-dissipative systems in quantum systems hasreceived an impressive boost. This activity revived the study of dissipativephase transition in synthetic matter, originally started with Josephsonjunction arrays. Rydberg atoms in optical lattices, systems of trapped ions,exciton-polariton condensates, cold atoms in cavities, arrays of coupled QEDcavities, are at present the most intensively investigated experimentalplatforms in relation to this aim. The predicted steady-state phase diagram ofthese driven dissipative systems becomes incredibly rich, displaying a varietyof phenomena. I will discuss several aspects that are peculiar of thesesystems, not shared with the conventional equilibrium picture. I will discussin particular the possible existence of exotic phases in the steady state withconnections to time crystals and quantum synchronization.
