• Abstract: We present precise path-integral Monte-Carlo results for the thermodynamics of a homogeneous dilute Bose gas. Pressure and energy are calculated as a function of temperature both below and above the Bose-Einstein transition. Specifically, we address interaction effects, focusing on deviations from the ideal gas law in the thermodynamic limit. We also calculate the isothermal compressibility and the contact parameter, which provide a clear signature of the role played by interactions. In particular, we show that the compressibility exhibits a discontinuity at the transition point. To gain physical insight, numerical results are systematically compared with the predictions of first-order Hartree-Fock and second-order Popov theories, both giving an approximate description of the gas thermodynamics. The comparison shows the extension of the critical region around the transition point, where the inaccuracies of the perturbative expansions are more pronounced.

  Topological phase transitions are found in a variety of systems and were shown to be deeply related with a thermodynamic description through scaling relations. Here, we investigate the entanglement entropy, which is a quantity that captures the central charge of a critical model and the thermodynamics of the non-reciprocal Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model.

  We study the non-equilibrium dynamics of a one-dimensional Bose gas with long-range interactions that decay as $(frac1ralpha)$ $(0.5 alpha 4.0$) We find that relaxation is achieved through a complex intermediate dynamics demonstrated by violent fragmentation and chaotic delocalization. Our study showcases the complex relaxation behavior of tunable long-range interacting systems that could be engineered in state-of-the-art experiments.

  We consider adiabatic quantum pumping through a resonant level model, a single-level quantum dot connected to two fermionic leads. We develop a self-contained thermodynamic description of this model accounting for the variation of the energy level of the dot and the tunnelling rates with the thermal baths.

• Prethermalization in coupled one-dimensional quantum gases [0.0]
  We consider the problem of steady states in one-dimensional Bose gas tubes that are weakly coupled to one another through a density-density interaction. We argue that when the leading order of the collision integral, where single particle-hole excitations are created in individual gases, is dominant, the state of the gas evolves first to a non-thermal fixed point.

• Microcanonical and Canonical Fluctuations in Bose-Einstein Condensates -- Fock state sampling approach [0.0]
  The fluctuations of the atom number between a Bose-Einstein condensate and the surrounding thermal gas have been the subject of a long standing theoretical debate. Here we introduce the so-called Fock state sampling method to solve this classic problem of current experimental interest for weakly interacting gases. A suppression of the predicted peak fluctuations is observed when using a microcanonical with respect to a canonical ensemble. Moreover, interactions lead to a shift of the temperature of peak fluctuations for harmonically trapped gases.

We observe the appearance of a new term of work, which represents the energy cost of rotating the Bloch vector in presence of the external field that defines the local Hamiltonian. In order to illustrate our findings we study, from both perspectives, matter-radiation interaction processes for two different systems.

Expanding spacetime as well as the background oscillating inflaton field are mimicked in the non-relativistic limit. The proposed experiment has the potential of exploring the evolution up to late times even beyond the weak coupling regime.

  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.
