Abstract Comprehending out-of-equilibrium properties of quantum many-body systems is still an emergent area of recent research. The upsurge in this area is motivated by tremendous progress in experimental studies, the key platforms being ultracold atoms and trapped ion systems. There has been a significant contribution from India to this vibrant field. This special issue which includes both review articles and original research papers highlights some of these contributions.

We give a brief sketch of the interdisciplinary field of noisy systems, classical as well as quantum ones, with great perspectives toward many-body systems and the engineering of their dynamics by the noise. A tiny cross section of the vast field is introduced along the lines of the research papers contained in this special issue.

Experimental advances have allowed for the exploration of nearly isolated quantum many-body systems whose coupling to an external bath is very weak. A particularly interesting class of such systems is those that do not thermalize under their own isolated quantum dynamics. In this review, we highlight the possibility for such systems to exhibit new nonequilibrium phases of matter. In particular, we focus on discrete time crystals, which are many-body phases of matter characterized by a spontaneously broken discrete time-translation symmetry. We give a definition of discrete time crystals from several points of view, emphasizing that they are a nonequilibrium phenomenon that is stabilized by many-body interactions, with no analog in noninteracting systems. We explain the theory behind several proposed models of discrete time crystals, and compare several recent realizations, in different experimental contexts.

Abstract In situ and operando spectroscopic methods play a fundamental role in a variety of different fields of modern science. In particular, as energy and environmental science have become increasingly important recently, the need of in situ and operando spectroscopic methods has also increased significantly. Therefore, we felt it was time to have a special issue focused on such techniques and for which the aim is ‘to merge the research communities investigating catalytic and (photo)electrochemical interfaces with different in situ/operando spectroscopic techniques, to share recent results, experimental methods, and future perspectives’, as we reported in the scope of this special issue. With its 23 original research papers and 2 topical reviews, spanning from heterogeneous catalysis to photoelectrochemistry, we believe that the outcome of this special issue fulfills the aforementioned aim.
