Title: Numerical studies of back-reaction effects in an analog model of cosmological pre-heating
Authors: Salvatore Butera and Iacopo Carusotto
Abstract summary: We propose an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate as an analog model of back-reaction effects during the pre-heating stage of early Universe. In particular, we address the out-of-equilibrium dynamics where the initially excited inflaton field decays by parametrically exciting the matter fields.

Abstract: We theoretically propose an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate as an analog model of back-reaction effects during the pre-heating stage of early Universe. In particular, we address the out-of-equilibrium dynamics where the initially excited inflaton field decays by parametrically exciting the matter fields. We consider a two-dimensional, ring-shaped BEC under a tight transverse confinement whose transverse breathing mode and the Goldstone and dipole excitation branches simulate the inflaton and quantum matter fields, respectively. A strong excitation of the breathing mode leads to an exponentially-growing emission of dipole and Goldstone excitations via parametric pair creation: our numerical simulations of the BEC dynamics show how the associated back-reaction effect not only results in an effective friction of the breathing mode but also in a quick loss of longitudinal spatial coherence of the initially in-phase excitations. Implications of this result on the validity of the usual semiclassical description of back-reaction are finally discussed.

We investigate false vacuum decay of a relativistic scalar field in the metastable minimum of an asymmetric double-well potential. We employ the non-perturbative framework of the two-particle irreducible (2PI) quantum effective action at next-to-leading order in a large-N expansion.

Damping transition in an open generalized Aubry-Andr\'e-Harper model [0.9239657838690226]
We study the damping dynamics of the single-particle correlation for an open system under periodic and aperiodic order. Due to the non-Hermitian skin effect, the damping dynamics is boundary sensitive. We propose a possible scheme with ultracold atoms in a dissipative momentum lattice to realize and detect the damping dynamics.

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.

Analog cosmological reheating in an ultracold Bose gas [58.720142291102135]
We quantum-simulate the reheating-like dynamics of a generic cosmological single-field model in an ultracold Bose gas. 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.

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.
