We review applications of string theory to cosmology, from primordial times to the present-
day accelerated expansion. Starting with a brief overview of cosmology and string …

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 …

Experimental progress in atomic, molecular, and optical platforms in the last decade has
stimulated strong and broad interest in the quantum coherent dynamics of many long-range …

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

Preparing an integrable system in a mixed state described by a thermal density matrix, we
subject it to a sudden quench and explore the subsequent unitary dynamics. To address the …

Long-range interactions can fundamentally alter properties in gapped topological phases
such as emergent massive edge modes. However, recent research has shifted attention to …

The Loschmidt echo is a purely quantum-mechanical quantity whose determination for large
quantum many-body systems requires an exceptionally precise knowledge of all eigenstates …

We explore both pure and mixed state Floquet dynamical quantum phase transitions
(FDQFTs) in the one-dimensional p-wave superconductor with a time-driven pairing phase …

The Kibble-Zurek mechanism (KZM) predicts that the average number of topological defects
generated upon crossing a continuous or quantum phase transition obeys a universal …

The nonequilibrium dynamics of two-dimensional Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model, in the
presence of staggered chemical potential, is investigated using the notion of dynamical …
