Quench dynamics of Rydberg-dressed bosons on two-dimensional square lattices

Y Zhou, Y Li, R Nath, W Li - Physical Review A, 2020‏ - APS
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 …

Generalized Kibble-Zurek mechanism for defects formation in trapped ions

W Wen, S Zhu, Y **e, B Ou, W Wu, P Chen… - Science China Physics …, 2023‏ - Springer
Abstract The Kibble-Zurek (KZ) mechanism has played a fundamental role in defect
formation with universal scaling laws in nonequilibrium phase transitions. However, this …

Quantum information scrambling in two-dimensional Bose–Hubbard lattices

D Tripathy, A Touil, B Gardas, S Deffner - Chaos: An Interdisciplinary …, 2024‏ - pubs.aip.org
It is a well-understood fact that the transport of excitations throughout a lattice is intimately
governed by the underlying structures. Hence, it is only natural to recognize that the …

Scaling theory of the Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition

Z Zuo, S Yin, X Cao, F Zhong - Physical Review B, 2021‏ - APS
We propose a series of scaling theories for Kosterlitz-Thouless (KT) phase transitions on the
basis of the hallmark exponential growth of their correlation length. Finite-size scaling, finite …

Superfluid-to-Mott transition in a Bose-Hubbard ring: Persistent currents and defect formation

L Kohn, P Silvi, M Gerster, M Keck, R Fazio… - Physical Review A, 2020‏ - APS
We revisit here the Kibble-Zurek mechanism for superfluid bosons slowly driven across the
transition toward the Mott-insulating phase. By means of a combination of the time …

Exploring dynamical phase transitions in the chain through a linear quench: Early and long-term perspectives

K Cao, H Hou, P Tong - Physical Review A, 2024‏ - APS
We investigate the nonequilibrium dynamics induced by a finite-time linear quench in the XY

Is there Kibble-Zurek scaling of topological defects in first-order phase transitions?

F Zhong - Chinese Physics Letters, 2025‏ - iopscience.iop.org
Kibble-Zurek scaling is the scaling of the density of topological defects formed via the
KibbleZurek mechanism with respect to the rate at which a system is cooled across a …
