In this review recent investigations are summarized of many-body quantum systems with
long-range interactions, which are currently realized in Rydberg atom arrays, dipolar …

The Jaynes–Cummings Model (JCM) has recently been receiving increased attention as
one of the simplest, yet intricately nonlinear, models of quantum physics. Emphasising the …

Supersolid states simultaneously feature properties typically associated with a solid and with
a superfluid. Like a solid, they possess crystalline order, manifesting as a periodic …

Heat engines convert thermal energy into mechanical work and generally involve a large
number of particles. We report the experimental realization of a single-atom heat engine. An …

We review selected advances in the theoretical understanding of complex quantum many-
body systems with regard to emergent notions of quantum statistical mechanics. We cover …

How do closed quantum many-body systems driven out of equilibrium eventually achieve
equilibration? And how do these systems thermalize, given that they comprise so many …

The relaxation of isolated quantum many-body systems is a major unsolved problem
connecting statistical and quantum physics. Studying such relaxation processes remains a …

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 …

Kibble-Zurek theory models the dynamics of spontaneous symmetry breaking, which plays
an important role in a wide variety of physical contexts, ranging from cosmology to …

The formation of topological defects after a symmetry-breaking phase transition is an
overarching phenomenon that encodes the underlying dynamics. The Kibble–Zurek …
