We investigate anomalously slow coarsening in a dilute two-dimensional (2d) superfluid closed with respect to particle and energy exchange with the environment. The dynamics is demonstrated to be closely connected to both, a non-thermal…
Closed quantum systems far from thermal equilibrium can show universal dynamics near attractor solutions, known as non-thermal fixed points, generically in the form of scaling behavior in space and time. A systematic classification and…
It is demonstrated how a many-body system far from thermal equilibrium can exhibit universal dynamics in passing a non-thermal fixed point. As an example, the process of Bose-Einstein (BE) condensation of a dilute cold gas is considered. If…
One of the most challenging tasks in physics has been understanding the route an out-of-equilibrium system takes to its thermalized state. This problem can be particularly overwhelming when one considers a many-body quantum system. However,…

We study the approach to equilibrium of a Bose gas to a superfluid state. We point out that dynamic scaling, characteristic of far from equilibrium phase-ordering systems, should hold. We stress the importance of a non-dissipative Josephson…
