The nonequilibrium physics of many-body quantum systems harbors various unconventional
phenomena. In this Letter, we experimentally investigate one of the most puzzling of these …

Anecdotal but elusive reports suggest that hot water quenched in a cold container can
sometimes begin to freeze sooner than warm water under similar initial conditions. John …

The highly complicated nature of far from equilibrium systems can lead to a complete
breakdown of the physical intuition developed in equilibrium. A famous example of this is the …

Entanglement asymmetry, which serves as a diagnostic tool for symmetry breaking and a
proxy for thermalization, has recently been proposed and studied in the context of symmetry …

The Mpemba effect is a counterintuitive phenomena in which a hot system reaches a cold
temperature faster than a colder system, under otherwise identical conditions. Here, we …

The quantum Mpemba effect is the counterintuitive nonequilibrium phenomenon wherein
the dynamic restoration of a broken symmetry occurs more rapidly when the initial state …

We investigate the quantum Mpemba effect from the perspective of nonequilibrium quantum
thermodynamics by studying relaxation dynamics of quantum systems coupled to a …

We explore the role of exceptional points and complex eigenvalues on the occurrence of the
quantum Mpemba effect. To this end, we study a two-level driven dissipative system …

We demonstrate the quantum Mpemba effect in a quantum dot coupled to two reservoirs,
described by the Anderson model. We show that the system temperatures starting from two …

According to conventional wisdom, a system placed in an environment with a different
temperature tends to relax to the temperature of the latter, mediated by the flows of heat or …
