Prof. Amit Dutta, a theoretical physicist working at Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, India, passed away in the beginning of the year 2023, leaving a void in the quantum condensed matter community, and also among his friends, family and colleagues. He was well known for his works on dynamics of quantum phase transitions and for his excellent teaching abilities; more recently, he had started working on open quantum systems as well.

This special issue is a dedication to Amit, bringing together articles on the areas he worked, starting from different types of non-equilibrium quantum dynamics to open quantum systems.

All articles are available here and are freely accessible until 13 February 2025. For further information read the Editorial.
