• Abstract summary: We show that isolated many-body systems far from equilibrium exhibit dynamic (spatiotemporal) self-similar scaling. For both infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) dynamics we find that the scaling exponents are independent of the strength of the interparticle interactions that drive the thermalisation.

• Abstract: Understanding and classifying nonequilibrium many-body phenomena, analogous to the classification of equilibrium states of matter into universality classes, is an outstanding problem in physics. Any many-body system, from stellar matter to financial markets, can be out of equilibrium in a myriad of ways; since many are also difficult to experiment on, it is a major goal to establish universal principles that apply to different phenomena and physical systems. At the heart of the classification of equilibrium states is the universality seen in the self-similar spatial scaling of systems close to phase transitions. Recent theoretical work, and first experimental evidence, suggest that isolated many-body systems far from equilibrium generically exhibit dynamic (spatiotemporal) self-similar scaling, akin to turbulent cascades and the Family-Vicsek scaling in classical surface growth. Here we observe bidirectional dynamic scaling in an isolated quench-cooled atomic Bose gas; as the gas thermalises and undergoes Bose-Einstein condensation, it shows self-similar net flows of particles towards the infrared (smaller momenta) and energy towards the ultraviolet (smaller lengthscales). For both infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) dynamics we find that the scaling exponents are independent of the strength of the interparticle interactions that drive the thermalisation.

  Environments in quantum thermodynamics usually take the role of heat baths. We show that within the same model, the environment can take three different thermodynamic roles. The exact role of the environment is determined by the strength and structure of the coupling.

  We study subradiance in a Bose-Einstein condensate positioned at the mode crossing of two optical cavities. metastable density structures that suppress emission into one cavity mode prevent relaxation to the stationary, superradiant grating. We reproduce these dynamics by a quantum mean field model, suggesting that subradiance shares characteristics with quasi-stationary states predicted in other long-range interacting systems.

We find uniform initial states with equal particle number and energy differ strikingly in their relaxation dynamics. Our results mark the first observation of HSF beyond one dimension, as well as the concomitant direct observation of fractons.

  Universality and scaling laws are hallmarks of equilibrium phase transitions and critical phenomena. We show that the amplitude and timescale of the post-quench fluctuations scale with system size with distinct universal critical exponents. Our results demonstrate the ability of quantum simulators to explore universal scaling beyond the equilibrium paradigm.

  We experimentally construct an EoS for a turbulent cascade of matter waves. We establish the amplitude of the momentum distribution and the underlying energy flux as equilibrium-like state variables. This results in a universal dimensionless EoS that sets benchmarks for the theory and should also be relevant for other turbulent systems.

  We study the dynamics of perturbations around nonthermal fixed points associated to universal scaling phenomena in quantum many-body systems far from equilibrium. Our analysis reveals the presence of both stable and unstable perturbations, the latter leading to quasi-exponential deviations from the fixed point in the infrared.
