• Abstract summary: We study a unitary time evolution of a symmetry-broken state in a form of a charge density wave in a finite system of bosons. We introduce a spatially-homogenous and time-dependent vector potential that mimics a short laser pulse. We propose a protocol that reveals non-thermal long-lived states, which are characterized by a non-zero charge density wave order.

• Abstract: We study a unitary time evolution of a symmetry-broken state in a form of a charge density wave in a finite system of interacting hard-core bosons, which can be mapped onto the XXZ Heisenberg chain. Moreover, we introduce a spatially-homogenous and time-dependent vector potential that mimics a short laser pulse. We establish the range of amplitudes of the vector potential for which the onset of charge density wave order can be controlled. We propose a protocol that reveals non-thermal long-lived states, which are characterized by a non-zero charge density wave order translated by one lattice site with respect to its initial formation. The life times of these states are large in comparison to all typical times given by the parameters of the system. They increase with the number of lattice sites, but are significantly suppressed by the integrablility breaking perturbations. In view of these findings, we speculate that the long-lived non-thermal states exist in the thermodynamic limit.

  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.

  Unconventional nonequilibrium phases with restricted correlation spreading and slow entanglement growth have been proposed to emerge in systems with confined excitations. Here, we show that in confined systems the thermalization dynamics after a quantum quench instead exhibits multiple stages with well separated time scales. The discussed prethermalization dynamics is directly relevant to generic one-dimensional, many-body systems with confined excitations

The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
