Nonequilibrium Dynamics Following an Interaction Quench in Quantum Materials - Chong Yu Ruan

Explore the cutting-edge field of non-equilibrium many-body physics in this 40-minute conference talk from the 2021 Non-Equilibrium Universality in Many-Body Physics KITP Conference. Delve into the fascinating world of quantum simulators and their impact on understanding systems far from equilibrium. Examine universal aspects of many-body systems at the intersection of statistical physics, AMO, condensed matter, and high-energy physics. Discover novel phases of matter and their associated universality classes that emerge beyond traditional equilibrium paradigms. Investigate topics such as short-time universality, entanglement dynamics, and the mapping between classical and quantum non-equilibrium systems. Gain insights into how high-energy physics can inform non-equilibrium condensed and AMO systems, and vice versa, with a focus on potential experiments to enhance our understanding of far-from-equilibrium universality. Join speaker Chong Yu Ruan from the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics as he explores nonequilibrium dynamics following an interaction quench in quantum materials, contributing to the broader dialogue between diverse scientific fields.
