The rigorous diagnostics of experiments with warm dense matter (WDM) is notoriously difficult. A key method is given by X-ray Thomson scattering (XRTS), but the interpretation of XRTS measurements is usually based on theoretical models that…

Extreme electron-ion non-equilibrium states, generated by ultrafast laser excitation, lead to melting processes that are fundamentally different from those under conventional thermal equilibrium and remain not fully understood. Through…

Isotropization occurs on time scales much shorter than the thermal equilibration time. This is a crucial ingredient for the understanding of collision experiments of heavy nuclei or other nonequilibrium phenomena in complex many body…

We study the Intermediate Scattering Function (ISF) of the strongly-nonlinear Fermi-Pasta Ulam Model at thermal equilibrium, using both numerical and analytical methods. From the molecular dynamics simulations we distinguish two limit…

Ultrafast laser excitation of a metal causes correlated, highly nonequilibrium dynamics of electronic and ionic degrees of freedom, which are however only poorly captured by the widely-used two-temperature model. Here we develop an…

A century ago, the foundations of equilibrium statistical mechanics were laid. For a system in equilibrium with a thermal bath, much is understood through the Boltzmann factor, exp{-H[C]/kT}, for the probability of finding the system in any…

We derive the transient-time correlation function (TTCF) expression for the computation of phase variables of inhomogenous confined atomistic fluids undergoing boundary-driven planar shear (Couette) flow at constant pressure. Using…

This paper describes the effects of electronic nonequilibrium in a simulation of ultrafast laser irradiation of materials. The simulation scheme based on tight-binding molecular dynamics, in which the electronic populations are traced with…

The transient time correlation function (TTCF) method is widely used in molecular fluids to compute non-equilibrium transport quantities, providing improved signal-to-noise ratios in ensemble averages without requiring prohibitively large…

We study the relaxation dynamics of laser-excited non-equilibrium electron distributions in the valence- and conduction band of a dielectric. We apply Boltzmann collision integrals to trace the influence of different scattering mechanisms…

The study of nonequilibrium phenomena in correlated lattice systems has developed into an active and exciting branch of condensed matter physics. This research field provides rich new insights that could not be obtained from the study of…

Inertial particles in turbulence form clusters, which strongly affect particle collisions and transport properties. Clustering models based on statistically stationary turbulence implicitly assume the instantaneous-equilibrium approximation…

Knowing the characteristic relaxation time of free electrons in a dense plasma is crucial to our understanding of plasma equilibration and transport. However, experimental investigations of electron relaxation dynamics have been hindered by…

Matter at extreme temperatures and pressures -- commonly known as warm dense matter (WDM) in the literature -- is ubiquitous throughout our Universe and occurs in a number of astrophysical objects such as giant planet interiors and brown…

We present TTCF4LAMMPS, a toolkit for performing non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations to study fluid behaviour at low shear rates using the LAMMPS software. By combining direct NEMD simulations and the transient-time…

Anomalous diffusion in liquids and the solid-liquid phase transition (melting) are studied in two-dimensional Yukawa systems. The self-intermediate scattering function (self-ISF), calculated from simulation data, exhibits a temporal decay,…

The computation of real-time properties, such as transport coefficients or bound state spectra of strongly interacting quantum fields in thermal equilibrium is a pressing matter. Since the sign problem prevents a direct evaluation of these…

Creating non-equilibrium states of matter with highly unequal electron and lattice temperatures allows unsurpassed insight into the dynamic coupling between electrons and ions through time-resolved energy relaxation measurements. Recent…

The \emph{ab initio} path integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) approach is one of the most successful methods in quantum many-body theory. A particular strength of this method is its straightforward access to imaginary-time correlation functions…

One of the most important applications of quantum mechanics is the thermodynamic description of quantum gases. Despite the fundamental importance of this topic, a comprehensive description of the thermodynamic properties of non-Hermitian…
