Relaxation dynamics of complex many-body quantum systems brought out of equilibrium and subsequently trapped into metastable states is a very active field of research from both the theoretical and experimental point of view with…

The interplay between symmetries and entanglement in out-of-equilibrium quantum systems is currently at the centre of an intense multidisciplinary research effort. Here we introduce a setting where these questions can be characterised…

The phenomenon of universality is one of the most striking in many-body physics. Despite having sometimes wildly different microscopic constituents, systems can nonetheless behave in precisely the same way, with only the variable names…
