body systems with regard to emergent notions of quantum statistical mechanics. We cover …

Conformal field theory out of equilibrium: a review

D Bernard, B Doyon - Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We provide a pedagogical review of the main ideas and results in non-equilibrium conformal
field theory and connected subjects. These concern the understanding of quantum transport …

Quench dynamics and relaxation in isolated integrable quantum spin chains

FHL Essler, M Fagotti - Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org

Quantum quenches in 1+ 1 dimensional conformal field theories

P Calabrese, J Cardy - Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We review the imaginary time path integral approach to the quench dynamics of conformal
field theories. We show how this technique can be applied to the determination of the time …

Off-diagonal matrix elements of local operators in many-body quantum systems

W Beugeling, R Moessner, M Haque - Physical Review E, 2015 - APS
In the time evolution of isolated quantum systems out of equilibrium, local observables
generally relax to a long-time asymptotic value, governed by the expectation values …

Nonequilibrium dynamics and weakly broken integrability

J Durnin, MJ Bhaseen, B Doyon - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
Motivated by dynamical experiments on cold atomic gases, we develop a quantum kinetic
approach to weakly perturbed integrable models out of equilibrium. Using the exact matrix …

Entanglement spreading in non-equilibrium integrable systems

These are lecture notes for a short course given at the Les Houches Summer School
on``Integrability in Atomic and Condensed Matter Physics'', in summer 2018. Here, I …

Relaxation and thermalization in the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model: A case study for the interaction quantum quench from the atomic limit

S Sorg, L Vidmar, L Pollet, F Heidrich-Meisner - Physical Review A, 2014 - APS
Motivated by recent experiments, we study the relaxation dynamics and thermalization in the
one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model induced by a global interaction quench. Specifically …

Validity of the GGE for quantum quenches from interacting to noninteracting models

S Sotiriadis, P Calabrese - Journal of Statistical Mechanics …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
In the majority of analytical verifications of the conjecture that the Generalized Gibbs
Ensemble (GGE) describes the large time asymptotics of local observables in quantum …

Quantum Quenches to a Critical Point in One Dimension: some further results

J Cardy - Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We describe several results concerning global quantum quenches from states with short-
range correlations to quantum critical points whose low-energy properties are described by …
