• Abstract summary: We study the effect of a quantum quench between two tunnel coupled Tomonaga-Luttinger liquids (TLLs) with different speed of sound and interaction parameter. We focus on correlation functions associated with the antisymmetric and symmetric combinations of the two TLLs. The presence of different speeds of sound leads to multiple lightcones separating different decaying regimes.

• Abstract: We study the effect of a quantum quench between two tunnel coupled Tomonaga-Luttinger liquids (TLLs) with different speed of sound and interaction parameter. The quench dynamics is induced by switching off the tunnelling and letting the two systems evolve independently. We fully diagonalize the problem within a quadratic approximation for the initial tunnelling. Both the case of zero and finite temperature in the initial state are considered. We focus on correlation functions associated with the antisymmetric and symmetric combinations of the two TLLs (relevant for interference measurements), which turn out to be coupled due to the asymmetry in the two systems' Hamiltonians. The presence of different speeds of sound leads to multiple lightcones separating different decaying regimes. In particular, in the large time limit, we are able to identify a prethermal regime where the two-point correlation functions of vertex operators of symmetric and antisymmetric sector can be characterized by two emerging effective temperatures, eventually drifting towards a final stationary regime that we dubbed $quasi-thermal$, well approximated at large scale by a thermal-like state, where these correlators become time independent and are characterized by a unique correlation length. If the initial state is at equilibrium at non-zero temperature $T_0$, all the effective temperatures acquire a linear correction in $T_0$, leading to faster decay of the correlation functions. Such effects can play a crucial role for the correct description of currently running cold atoms experiments.

  interplay between symmetries and entanglement in out-of-equilibrium quantum systems is currently at the centre of an intense multidisciplinary research effort. We show that one can introduce a class of solvable states, which extends that of generic dual unitary circuits. In contrast to the known class of solvable states, which relax to the infinite temperature state, these states relax to a family of non-trivial generalised Gibbs ensembles.

  We consider the two-dimensional quantum Ising model, in absence of disorder, subject to periodic imperfect global spin flips. We show by a combination of exact diagonalization and tensor-network methods that the system can sustain a spontaneously broken discrete time-translation symmetry. We observe a non-perturbative change in the decay rate of the order parameter, which is related to the long-lived stability of the magnetic domains in 2D.
