Atomtronics deals with matter-wave circuits of ultracold atoms manipulated through
magnetic or laser-generated guides with different shapes and intensities. In this way, new …

The many-body physics at quantum phase transitions shows a subtle interplay between
quantum and thermal fluctuations, emerging in the low-temperature limit. In this review, we …

We relate the probability distribution of the work done on a statistical system under a sudden
quench to the Lanczos coefficients corresponding to evolution under the postquench …

A complete understanding of the statistics of the work done by quenching a parameter of a
quantum many-body system is still lacking in the presence of an initial quantum coherence …

Renormalization-group methods provide a viable approach for investigating the emergent
collective behavior of classical and quantum statistical systems in both equilibrium and …

We analyze the nature of the statistics of the work done on or by a quantum many-body
system brought out of equilibrium. We show that, for the sudden quench and for an initial …

We address the computation of the Loschmidt echo in interacting integrable spin chains after
a quantum quench. We focus on the massless regime of the XXZ spin-1/2 chain and present …

We consider the computation of the Loschmidt echo after quantum quenches in the
interacting XXZ Heisenberg spin chain both for real and imaginary times. We study two-site …

We propose a feasible experimental scheme to direct measure heat and work in cold atomic
setups. The method is based on a recent proposal which shows that work is a positive …

We study properties of the work distribution of a many-body system driven through a
quantum phase transition in finite time. We focus on the non-Gaussianity of the distribution …
