Relaxation and thermalization in the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model: A case study for the interaction quantum quench from the atomic limit
Motivated by recent experiments, we study the relaxation dynamics and thermalization in the

Nonequilibrium quantum criticality in open systems: The dissipation rate as an additional indispensable scaling variable
S Yin, P Mai, F Zhong - Physical Review B, 2014 - APS
We propose that nonequilibrium quantum criticality in open systems under the Born-Markov
approximation can be described by a master equation of the Lindblad form. This master …

Equilibration and prethermalization in the Bose-Hubbard and Fermi-Hubbard models
F Queisser, KV Krutitsky, P Navez, R Schützhold - Physical Review A, 2014 - APS
We study the Bose-Hubbard and Fermi-Hubbard models in the (formal) limit of large
coordination numbers Z≫ 1. Via an expansion into powers of 1/Z, we establish a hierarchy …

Kibble–Zurek mechanism in the Ising Field Theory
K Hódsági, M Kormos - SciPost Physics, 2020 - scipost.org
Abstract The Kibble-Zurek mechanism captures universality when a system is driven through
a continuous phase transition. Here we study the dynamical aspect of quantum phase …
