Title: $Large-scale$ thermalization, prethermalization and impact of the temperature in the quench dynamics of two unequal Luttinger liquids
Authors: Paola Ruggiero, Laura Foini, Thierry Giamarchi
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.

We propose the nonlocal thermoelectric response as a direct indicator of the presence of interactions, nonthermal states and the effect of correlations. A setup with two controllable quantum point contacts allows thermoelectricity to monitor the interacting system thermalisation.

Emergence of non-Abelian SU(2) invariance in Abelian frustrated fermionic ladders [37.69303106863453]
We consider a system of interacting spinless fermions on a two-leg triangular ladder with $pi/2$ magnetic flux per triangular plaquette. Microscopically, the system exhibits a U(1) symmetry corresponding to the conservation of total fermionic charge, and a discrete $mathbbZ$ symmetry. At the intersection of the three phases, the system features a critical point with an emergent SU(2) symmetry.

Quantum coherence-control of thermal energy transport: The V model as a case study [0.0]
We study the role of quantum coherences in heat transport in the transient regime and in the nonequilibrium steady-state. We find that coherences are maximized when the heat current is suppressed. numerical simulations reveal that the transient behavior of coherences contrasts the steady-state limit.

Clean two-dimensional Floquet time-crystal [68.8204255655161]
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.

Quantum asymmetry and noisy multi-mode interferometry [55.41644538483948]
Quantum asymmetry is a physical resource which coincides with the amount of coherence between the eigenspaces of a generator. We show that the asymmetry may emphincrease as a result of a emphdecrease of coherence inside a degenerate subspace.

Distant emitters in ultrastrong waveguide QED: Ground-state properties and non-Markovian dynamics [0.0]
We study the properties of a system of two distant two-level emitters coupled to a one-dimensional Ohmic waveguide. We introduce non-Markovianity arising from delay-feedback effects in two distant emitters in the so-called ultrastrong coupling regime. In particular, we revisit the Fermi two-atom problem showing that, in the USC regime, initial correlations yield two different evolutions for symmetric and antisymmetric states.

Rabi oscillations at the exceptional point in anti-parity-time symmetric diffusive systems [0.0]
The motivation for this paper comes from recent experiments of a heat transfer system of two thermally coupled rings rotating in opposite directions. We show that the system exhibits a parity-time ($mathcalPT$) phase transition at the exceptional point in which eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the corresponding non-Hermitian Hamiltonian coalesce.

Probing eigenstate thermalization in quantum simulators via fluctuation-dissipation relations [77.34726150561087]
The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) offers a universal mechanism for the approach to equilibrium of closed quantum many-body systems. Here, we propose a theory-independent route to probe the full ETH in quantum simulators by observing the emergence of fluctuation-dissipation relations. Our work presents a theory-independent way to characterize thermalization in quantum simulators and paves the way to quantum simulate condensed matter pump-probe experiments.
