Thermal quenching has been used to find metastable materials such as hard steels and metallic glasses. More recently, quenching-based phase control has been applied to correlated electron systems that exhibit metal--insulator, magnetic or…
The aging properties of a simple free-energy landscape model for the primary relaxation in supercooled liquids are investigated. The intermediate scattering function and the rotational correlation functions are calculated for the generic…
We report on non-equilibrium transport features observed in experiments using three-dimensional amorphous indium-oxide films. It is demonstrated that all the features that characterize intrinsic electron-glasses which heretofore were seen…
This article reviews some recent developments for new cooling technologies in the fields of condensed matter physics and cold gases, both from an experimental and theoretical point of view. The main idea is to make use of distinct many-body…
Aging refers to the evolution of system properties with waiting time $t_w$. It is a key feature of glassy dynamics. Recent experiments have demonstrated aging in biological systems that are inherently active with a magnitude of…
Pinning particles at random in supercooled liquids is a promising route to make substantial progress on the glass transition problem. Here we develop a mean-field theory by studying the equilibrium and non-equilibrium dynamics of the…
We numerically study the non-equilibrium dynamics of the three dimensional Heisenberg Edwards-Anderson spin glass following a sudden quench to its low temperature phase. The subsequent aging behavior of the system is analyzed in detail, and…
The electric thermal noise has been measured in two aging materials, a colloidal suspension (Laponite) and a polymer (polycarbonate), presenting very slow relaxation towards equilibrium. The measurements have been performed during the…
When a spin glass is cooled down, a memory of the cooling process is imprinted in the spin structure. This memory can be disclosed in a continuous heating measurement of the ac-susceptibility. E.g., if a continuous cooling process is…
Spin-glass (SG) states of the 3-dimensional Ising Edwards-Anderson model under a static magnetic field $h$ are examined by means of the standard Monte Carlo simulation on the field-shift aging protocol at temperature $T$. For each process…
We propose a method to reach the antiferromagnetic state of two-dimensional Fermi gases trapped in optical lattices: Independent subsystems are prepared in suitable initial states and then connected by a sudden or slow quench of the…
At present, there is a worldwide effort to use cold atoms to simulate strongly correlated quantum many-body systems. It is hoped that these "simulations" will provide solutions to many unsolved problems. However, the relevant energy scales…
Transistor aging phenomena manifest themselves as degradations in the main electrical characteristics of transistors. Over time, they result in a significant increase of cell propagation delay, leading to errors due to timing violations,…
To experimentally search for signals of the Gardner transition, an active quasi-thermal granular glass is constructed using a monolayer of air-fluidized star-shaped granular particles. The pressure of the system is controlled by adjusting…
A new kind of memory effect on low frequency dielectric measurements on plexiglass (PMMA) is described. These measurements show that cooling and heating the sample at constant rate give an hysteretic dependence on temperature of the…
Intriguing phenomena such as subrecoil laser cooling of atoms, or aging phenomenon in glasses, have in common that the systems considered do not reach a steady-state during the experiments, although the experimental time scales are very…
We present an experimental study of the energy-relaxation in Anderson-insulating indium-oxide films excited far from equilibrium. In particular, we focus on the effects of history on the relaxation of the excess conductance dG. The natural…
Dilute Laponite suspensions in water at low salt concentration form repulsive colloidal glasses which display physical aging. This phenomenon is still not completely understood and in particular, little is known about the connection between…
In the task of unitarily cooling a quantum system with access to a larger quantum system, known as the machine or reservoir, how does the structure of the machine impact an agent's ability to cool and the complexity of their cooling…
Via Monte Carlo simulations we study pattern and aging during coarsening in nonconserved nearest neighbor Ising model, following quenches from infinite to zero temperature, in space dimension $d=3$. The decay of the order-parameter…
