We review the non-zero temperature relaxational dynamics of quantum systems near a zero temperature, second-order phase transition. We begin with the quantum Ising chain, for which universal and exact results for the relaxation rates can be…
In quasicrystals, special tiling patterns could give rise to unique physical phenomena such as critical states distinct from periodic systems. In this paper, we study how quasi-periodicity in aperiodic systems results in anomalous phonon…
Many electronic systems exhibit striking features in their dynamical response over a prominent range of experimental parameters. While there are empirical suggestions of particular increasing length scales that accompany such transitions,…
Self-organization and nonequilibrium phase transitions are well known to occur in two- and three- dimensional dissipative systems. Here, instead, we provide numerical evidence that these phenomena also occur in a one-dimensional Hamiltonian…
We perform large-scale Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations for strongly interacting bosons in a 2D optical lattice trap, and confirm an excellent agreement with the benchmarking in-situ density measurements by the Chicago group [1]. We…
Quantum systems can show qualitatively new forms of behavior when they are driven by fast time-periodic modulations. In the limit of large driving frequency, the long-time dynamics of such systems can often be described by a…
We determine the quasistationary distribution of Floquet-state occupation probabilities for a parametrically driven harmonic oscillator coupled to a thermal bath. Since the system exhibits detailed balance, and the canonical representatives…
Periodically driven quantum systems host exotic phenomena which often do not have any analog in undriven systems. Floquet prethermalization and dynamical freezing of certain observables, via the emergence of conservation laws, are realized…
We introduce a general framework for analyzing the thermodynamics of small systems that are driven by both a periodic temperature variation and some external parameter modulating their energy. This set-up covers, in particular, periodic…

Floquet systems are governed by periodic, time-dependent, Hamiltonians. Prima facie they should absorb energy from the external drives involved in modulating their couplings and heat up to infinite temperature. However this unhappy state of…
The thermodynamic properties of strongly correlated system with binary type of disorder are investigated using the combination of the coherent potential approximation and dynamical mean-field theory. The specific heat has a peak at small…
We study periodically driven closed quantum systems where two parameters of the system Hamiltonian are driven with frequencies $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2=r \omega_1$. We show that such drives may be used to tune towards dynamics induced…
Time periodic driving serves not only as a convenient way to engineer effective Hamiltonians, but also as a means to produce intrinsically dynamical phases that do not exist in the static limit. A recent example of the latter are 2D chiral…
The exotic nature of many strongly correlated materials at reasonably high temperatures, for instance cuprate superconductors in their normal state, has lead to the suggestion that such behavior occurs within a quantum critical region where…
Quasicritical exponents of one-dimensional models displaying a quasitransition at finite temperatures are examined in detail. The quasitransition is characterized by intense sharp peaks in physical quantities such as specific heat and…
