In the course of a nonequilibrium continuous phase transition, the dynamics ceases to be
adiabatic in the vicinity of the critical point as a result of the critical slowing down (the …

When a system crosses a second-order phase transition on a finite timescale, spontaneous
symmetry breaking can cause the development of domains with independent order …

In the last years, a number of theoretical and numerical tools have been developed by a
thriving community formed by people coming from different backgrounds—condensed …

The dynamics of quantum phase transitions pose one of the most challenging problems in
modern many-body physics. Here, we study a prototypical example in a clean and well …

When a second-order phase transition is crossed at a finite rate, the evolution of the system
stops being adiabatic as a result of the critical slowing down in the neighborhood of the …

The formation of an equilibrium state from an uncorrelated thermal one through the
dynamical crossing of a phase transition is a central question of quantum many-body …

The spontaneous nucleation and dynamics of topological kink defects have been studied in
trapped arrays of 41–43 Yb ions. The number of kinks formed as a function of quench rate …

The Bose‐Hubbard model is the simplest model of interacting bosons on a lattice. It has
recently been the focus of much attention due to the realization of this model with cold atoms …

We study the dynamics of bosonic atoms on a two-dimensional square lattice, where atomic
interactions are long ranged with either a box or soft-core shape. The latter can be realized …

We describe a new class of nonequilibrium quantum many-body phenomena in the form of
networks of caustics that dominate the many-body wave function in the semiclassical regime …
