* ABSTRACT | |||||||
A theory will be presented of nonequilibrium quantum criticality in open (coupled to reservoirs) electronic systems. Results are given for itinerant Ising and Heisenberg magnets with nonequilibrium provided by current flow across the system. Both departures from equilibrium at conventional (equilibrium) quantum critical points and the physics of phase transitions induced by the nonequilibrium drive will be considered. |
