A fluid is said to be \emph{scale-invariant} when its interaction and kinetic energies have the same scaling in a dilation operation. In association with the more general conformal invariance, scale invariance provides a dynamical symmetry…

Understanding and classifying nonequilibrium many-body phenomena, analogous to the classification of equilibrium states of matter into universality classes, is an outstanding problem in physics. Any many-body system, from stellar matter to…
We study the dynamics of an initially degenerate homogeneous Bose gas after an interaction quench to the unitary regime at a magnetic Feshbach resonance. As the cloud decays and heats, it exhibits a crossover from degenerate- to thermal-gas…
The frequency of the breathing mode of a classical two dimensional Fermi gas in a harmonic confinement is fixed by the scale invariance of the Hamiltonian. Scale invariance is broken on the quantum mechanical level by introducing the two…
In these notes we discuss recent developments in the field of non-equilibrium quantum dynamics. Specifically, we consider nearly coherent Bose gases brought far out of equilibrium and study their behaviour in view of connections between…
In this work we develop a general formalism that categorizes the action of broken scale invariance on the non-equilibrium dynamics of non-relativistic quantum systems. This approach is equally applicable to both strongly and weakly…
We explore the emergence of universal dynamic scaling in an interacting Bose gas around the condensation transition, under the combined influence of an external driving force and spatial disorder. As time progresses, we find that the Bose…
