  2. We show that several models of interacting X X Z spin chains subject to boundary driving and dissipation possess a subtle kind of time-reversal symmetry, making their steady states exactly solvable. We focus on a model with a coherent boundary drive, showing that it exhibits a unique continuous dissipative phase transition as a function of the boundary drive amplitude. This transition has no analog in the bulk closed system or in incoherently driven models. We also show the steady-state magnetization exhibits a surprising fractal dependence on interaction strength, something previously associated with less easily measured infinite-temperature transport quantities (the Drude weight). Our exact solution also directly yields driven-dissipative double-chain models that have pure, entangled steady states that are current carrying. Published by the American Physical Society2025
