After a quantum quench, a sudden change of parameters, generic many particle quantum systems are expected to equilibrate. A few collisions of quasiparticles are usually sufficient to establish approximately local equilibrium. Reaching…
The description of thermal or non-equilibrium systems necessitates a quantum field theory which differs from the usual approach in two aspects: 1.The Hilbert space is doubled; 2.Stable quasi-particles do not exist in interacting systems. A…
Features of electronic currents in solids are truly diverse depending on circumstances, e.g. non-equilibrium transport currents leading to dissipation and persistent currents flowing in equilibrium. Differences between these currents may be…

The dynamical status of isolated quantum systems, partly due to the linearity of the Schrodinger equation is unclear: Conventional measures fail to detect chaos in such systems. However, when quantum systems are subjected to observation --…
The temporal evolution of an unstable quantum mechanical system undergoing repeated measurements is investigated. In general, by changing the time interval between successive measurements, the decay can be accelerated (inverse quantum Zeno…
Holographic duality is a powerful tool to investigate the far-from equilibrium dynamics of superfluids and other phases of quantum matter. For technical reasons it is usually assumed that, after a quench, the far-from equilibrium fields are…
