Understanding the dynamical origin of high-temperature superconductivity remains a central challenge in strongly correlated quantum matter. Near quantum criticality, diverging correlation times reorganize the infrared dynamics into a…
When a strongly disordered system of interacting quantum dipoles is locally excited, the excitation relaxes on some (potentially very long) timescale. We analyze this relaxation process, both for electron glasses with strong Coulomb…
Strongly interacting matter undergoes a crossover phase transition at high temperatures $T\sim 10^{12}$ K and zero net-baryon density. A fundamental question in the theory of strong interactions, Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), is whether a…
Many condensed matter experiments explore the finite temperature dynamics of systems near quantum critical points. Often, there are no well-defined quasiparticle excitations, and so quantum kinetic equations do not describe the transport…
The Thermal Renormalization Group can be employed to study the dynamics of $T\neq 0$ Quantum Field Theories close to second order phase transitions, where neither resummed perturbation theory nor first principle lattice simulations can be…
We present a study of the critical phenomena around the quantum critical point in heavy-fermion systems. In the framework of the S=1/2 Kondo lattice model, we introduce an extended decoupling scheme of the Kondo interaction which allows one…
A major open question in studies of nonequilibrium quantum dynamics is the identification of the time scales involved in the relaxation process of isolated quantum systems that have many interacting particles. We demonstrate that long time…
We consider measurement-induced phase transitions in monitored quantum circuits with a measurement rate that fluctuates in time, remaining spatially uniform at each time. The spatially correlated fluctuations in the measurement rate disrupt…
The dilute, two-dimensional Bose gas exhibits a novel regime of relaxational dynamics in the regime k_B T > |\mu| where T is the absolute temperature and \mu is the chemical potential. This may also be interpreted as the quantum criticality…
Experiments studying renormalization group flows in the quantum Hall system provide significant evidence for the existence of an emergent holomorphic modular symmetry $\Gamma_0(2)$. We briefly review this evidence and show that, for the…
We discuss deep inelastic scattering at high energies as a critical phenomenon in 2+1 space - time dimensions. In the limit of Bjorken $x \to 0$, $QCD$ SU(3) with quark fields becomes a critical theory with a diverging correlation length…
The strange metal behavior, usually characterized by a linear-in-temperature (T) resistivity, is a still unsolved mystery in solid-state physics. Usually it is associated with the proximity to a quantum critical point (a second order…
We study the long-time behaviour and the spatial correlations of a simple ferromagnetic spin system whose kinetics is governed by a thermal bath with a time-dependent temperature which is characterized by a given external relaxation time…
We study the zero-temperature phase diagram of the half-filled one-dimensional ionic Hubbard model. This model is governed by the interplay of the on-site Coulomb repulsion and an alternating one-particle potential. Various many-body energy…
Systems close to a phase transition turn weak perturbations into large responses. At equilibrium, this amplification is closely linked to criticality: fluctuations grow, dynamics slow, and a common soft mode controls the response. Whether…
We study the non-equilibrium dynamics, thermalisation and attractor behaviour of charm quarks in a longitudinally expanding Quark-Gluon Plasma within the Relativistic Boltzmann Transport approach in 1+1D Bjorken expansion. Considering both…
We consider the most general scale invariant radial Hamiltonian allowing for anisotropic scaling between space and time. We formulate a renormalisation group analysis of this system and demonstrate the existence of a quantum phase…
The simplest gravity duals for quantum critical theories with z=2 `Lifshitz' scale invariance admit a marginally relevant deformation. Generic black holes in the bulk describe the field theory with a dynamically generated momentum scale…
