We demonstrate the importance of quantum jumps in the nonequilibrium evolution of bottomonium states in the quark-gluon plasma. Based on nonrelativistic effective field theory and the open quantum system framework, we evolve the density matrix of color singlet and octet pairs. We show that quantum regeneration of singlet states from octet configurations is necessary to understand experimental results for the suppression of both bottomonium ground and excited states. The values of the heavy-quarkonium transport coefficients used are consistent with recent lattice QCD determinations.

Bottomonium production in an open quantum system approach with interactions from lattice quantum chromodynamic
An open quantum system framework with lattice-QCD-matched collapse operators shows that octet-to-singlet quantum regeneration substantially enhances bottomonium yields in heavy-ion collisions, though full quantitative...

Bottomonium transport in a strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma
A semiclassical transport model using lattice-constrained T-matrix rates and viscous hydrodynamics reproduces the centrality dependence of bottomonium yields in 5.02 TeV Pb-Pb collisions within uncertainties.
