Quenching a quantum system involves three basic ingredients: the initial phase, the post-quench target phase, and the non-equilibrium dynamics which carries the information of the former two. Here we propose a dynamical theory to…
We study the dynamical response of a system to a sudden change of the tuning parameter $\lambda$ starting (or ending) at the quantum critical point. In particular we analyze the scaling of the excitation probability, number of excited…
In this paper we consider the multi-dimensional Quantum Hydrodynamics (QHD) system, by adopting an intrinsically hydrodynamic approach. The present work continues the analysis initiated in [6] where the one dimensional case was studied.…

The ratio between the shear viscosity and the entropy $\eta/s$ is considered a universal measure of the strength of interactions in quantum systems. This quantity was conjectured to have a universal lower bound $(1/4\pi)\hbar/k_{B}$, which…
We discuss the hydrodynamic approach to the study of the time evolution -induced by a quench- of local excitations in one dimension. We focus on interaction quenches: the considered protocol consists in creating a stable localized…

Simulating and predicting dynamics of quantum many-body systems is extremely challenging, even for state-of-the-art computational methods, due to the spread of entanglement across the system. However, in the long-wavelength limit, quantum…

Quantum critical (QC) phase transitions generally lead to the absence of quasiparticles. The resulting correlated quantum fluid, when thermally excited, displays rich universal dynamics. We establish non-perturbative constraints on the…
We consider the unitary time evolution of a one-dimensional quantum system which is in a stationary state for negative times and then undergoes a sudden change (quench) of a parameter of its Hamiltonian at t=0. For systems possessing a…
