Close to equilibrium, the underlying symmetries of a system determine its possible universal behavior. Far from equilibrium, however, different universal phenomena associated with the existence of multiple non-thermal fixed points can be…

Nonthermal fixed points of far-from-equilibrium dynamics of a dilute degenerate Bose gas are analysed in two and three spatial dimensions. For such systems, universal power-law distributions, previously found within a nonperturbative…

The dynamics of a generic class of scalar active matter exhibiting a diffusivity edge is studied in a confining potential where the amplitude is governed by a time-dependent protocol. For such non-equilibrium systems, the diffusion…

We study the dynamics of a dilute Bose gas at zero temperature following a sudden quench of the scattering length from a noninteracting Bose condensate to unitarity (infinite scattering length). We apply three complementary approaches to…

We study a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) at low energy limit and show that their collective dynamics exhibit interesting topological behavior. The system undergoes dynamical topological phase transition at its global periods if its…

Investigating the initial conditions that lead many-body quantum systems to an out-of-equilibrium state is fundamental for understanding their thermalization dynamics. In this work we observe the relaxation for two regimes of excitation…

The existence of global solutions for a system of differential equations is proved, and some of their properties are described. The system involves a kinetic equation for quantum particles. It is a simplified version of a mathematical…
