  "abstract": "The dissipative transverse-field Ising (TFI) model provides a paradigmatic setting for nonequilibrium quantum many-body physics. We show that a class of boundary-driven TFI models subject to dissipation at only one boundary possesses hidden time-reversal symmetry, which enables an exact construction of their nonequilibrium steady states. The solution admits a matrix-product representation and defines a nonequilibrium partition function from which steady-state observables can be evaluated efficiently. We use the exact solution to characterize the microscopic structure of the steady state through its z-magnetization and two-point correlations. A striking feature is that the local field at the dissipative boundary governs the spatial organization of the steady state throughout the chain. The steady state typically exhibits boundary-localized magnetization profiles and exponentially decaying correlations, whose characteristic length scales are set by the dissipative boundary. In the weak-driving limit, suitably tuned boundary fields can reorganize the NESS into a delocalized single-interface structure, giving rise to long-range correlations that decay linearly with distance.",
