• Abstract summary: We find a striking resemblance to the process of particle decay: the initial amplitude of the single particle decays in time. At long time the entanglement state is an entangled state of the heavy and massless particles. The entropy is shown to grow under time evolution describing the flow of information from the initial single particle to the final multiparticle state.

• Abstract: Infrared dressing of bosonic or fermionic heavy particles by a cloud of massless particles to which they couple is studied as a possible production mechanism of ultra light dark matter or dark radiation in a radiation dominated cosmology. We implement an adiabatic expansion valid for wavelengths much smaller than the Hubble radius combined with a non-perturbative and manifestly unitary dynamical resummation method to study the time evolution of an initial single heavy particle state. We find a striking resemblance to the process of particle decay: the initial amplitude of the single particle decays in time, not exponentially but with a power law with anomalous dimension $\propto t^{-\Delta/2}$ featuring a crossover to $t^{-\Delta}$ as the heavy particle becomes non-relativistic in both bosonic and fermionic cases suggesting certain universality. At long time the asymptotic state is an entangled state of the heavy and massless particles. The entanglement entropy is shown to grow under time evolution describing the flow of information from the initial single particle to the final multiparticle state. The expectation value of the energy momentum tensor in the asymptotic state is described by two indpendent fluids each obeying covariant conservation, one of heavy particles and the other of relativistic (massless) particles (dark radiation). Both fluids share the same frozen distribution function and entropy as a consequence of entanglement.

  This work focuses on a self-interacting field theory of Dirac fermions in an expanding Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe. We study how the non-trivialative condensates arise and, more importantly, how their real-time evolution has an impact on particle production.

  The Ising$_h2$ integrable field theory possesses eight types of relativistic particles. It is predicted that all odd-parity particles are dark and cannot be directly excited from the ground state. We find that the lightest dark particle is detectable, manifested as a thermal activation gap in nuclear magnetic resonance measurements.

  We extend the previous work to a realistic (3+1) dimensional set up and show that $T-$vacuum causes an emphanisotropic particle creation in the early universe. Unlike the Hawking or Unruh effect, where the particle content is thermal and radiationally defined, here it is non-thermal and time dependent.

  Quasiparticles are emergent excitations of matter that underlie much of our understanding of quantum many-body systems. We take advantage of the clean setting of homogeneous quantum gases and fast radio-frequency control to manipulate Fermi polarons. We measure the decay rate and the quasiparticle residue of the driven polaron from the Rabi oscillations between the two internal states.

By placing microwave photons in adjacent qubit sites, we study the propagation of these excitations and observe their bound nature for up to 5 photons.

  Threshold and infrared divergences are studied as possible mechanisms of particle production and compared to the usual decay process. A spectral representation of the propagator of the decaying particle suggests that decay, threshold and infrared singularities are qualitatively related. We implement a non-perturbative dynamical resummation method to study the time evolution of an initial state.

We show that it is modulated in time, and that the presence of the oscillating mirror can enhance or inhibit the decay rate.
