Uncovering and understanding universal dynamics in matter far from equilibrium remains a key challenge. In this work, we identify a so far unrecognized form of universal behavior that emerges after a sudden symmetry-breaking quench at…
Short-time dynamics of many-body systems may exhibit non-analytical behavior of the systems' properties at particular times, thus dubbed dynamical quantum phase transition. Simulations showed that in the presence of disorder new critical…
Systems with a bulk first-order transition can display diverging correlation lengths close to a surface. This surface induced disordering yields a special type of surface criticality. Using extensive numerical simulations we study surface…
