We study the dynamics of phase relaxation between a pair of one-dimensional condensates created by a bi-directional, supersonic `unzipping' of a finite single condensate. We find that the system fractures into different \emph{extensive}…

In-medium chiral symmetry breaking in confining potential models of QCD is examined. Past attempts to analyse these models have been hampered by infrared divergences that appear at non-zero temperature. We argue that previous attempts to…
Isospin density and thermal corrections for several condensates are discussed, at the one-loop level, in the frame of chiral dynamics with pionic degrees of freedom. The evolution of such objects give an additional insight into the…
In the presence of a laser-induced spin-orbit coupling an interacting ultra cold spinor Bose-Einstein condensate may acquire a quasi-relativistic character described by a non-linear Dirac-like equation. We show that as a result of the…
A simple and consistent real time analysis of the long-wavelength chiral condensate fields in the background of hard thermal modes is presented in the framework of the linear sigma model. Effective evolution equations are derived for the…
We study the chiral condensate at finite temperature in AdS/QCD in a time-dependent background, in which the position of the black-hole horizon $z_h$ changes with time, producing an increasing or decreasing temperature. Conformal invariance…
Phase separation has been observed by several different experiments and it is believed to be closely related with the physics of cuprates but its exactly role is not yet well known. We propose that the onset of pseudogap phenomenon or the…
We propose a picture that the chiral phase transition at zero quark mass and the deconfinement transition at infinite quark mass are continuously connected. This gives a simple interpretation on the coincidence of the pseudo-critical…
The Unruh effect states an accelerated particle detector registers a thermal response when moving through the Minkowski vacuum, and its thermal feature is believed to be inseparable from Lorentz symmetry: Without the latter, the former…
A well-isolated system often shows relaxation to a quasi-stationary state before reaching thermal equilibrium. Such a prethermalization has attracted considerable interest recently in association with closely related fundamental problems of…
We generalize our previous model to an O(N) symmetric two-dimensional model which possesses chiral symmetry breaking and superconducting (Cooper pair condensates) phases at large-N. At zero temperature and density, the model can be solved…
A first attempt to accommodate the chiral and deconfining phase transitions of QCD in the bottom-up holographic framework is given. We constrain the relation between dilaton field $\phi$ and metric warp factor $A_e$ and get several…
We discuss the cooling dynamics of heavy impurity atoms in a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) by emission of Cherenkov phonons from scattering with the condensate. In a weakly interacting, low-temperature condensate the superfluidity of the…
We set up a framework for field theoretical studies of systems out of thermal equilibrium and zoom in on the dissipation of disoriented chiral condensates. Short relaxation times are obtained in the phase transition region, jeopardizing the…
We investigate the formation of condensates in a binary lattice gas in the presence of chiral interactions. These interactions differ between a given microscopic configuration and its mirror image. We consider a two dimensional lattice gas…
The internal chirality of Cooper pairs is shown to modify strongly the response of a superconductor to the local heating by a laser beam. The suppression of the chiral order parameter inside the hot spot appears to induce the supercurrents…
We theoretically characterize the semiclassical dynamics of an ensemble of atoms after a sudden quench across a driven-dissipative second-order phase transition. The atoms are driven by a laser and interact via conservative and dissipative…
It was recently conjectured that, in SU(3) gauge theories with fundamental quarks, valence spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking is equivalent to condensation of local dynamical chirality and appearance of chiral polarization scale…
