• Abstract: In the last decades, the experimental research on Bose-Einstein interferometry has received much attention due to promising technological implications. This has thus motivated the development of numerical simulations aimed at solving the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation and its reduced one-dimensional version to better understand the development of interference-type features and the subsequent soliton dynamics. In this work, Bohmian mechanics is considered as an additional tool to further explore and analyze the formation and evolution in real time of the soliton arrays that follow the merging of two condensates. An alternative explanation is thus provided in terms of an underlying dynamical velocity field, directly linked to the local phase variations undergone by the condensate along its evolution. Although the reduced one-dimensional model is considered here, it still captures the essence of the phenomenon, rendering a neat picture of the full evolution without diminishing the generality of the description. To better appreciate the subtleties of free versus bound dynamics, two cases are discussed. First, the soliton dynamics exhibited by a coherent superposition of two freely released condensates is studied, discussing the peculiarities of the underlying velocity field and the corresponding flux trajectories in terms of both the peak-to-peak distance between the two initial clouds and the addition of a phase difference between them. In the latter case, an interesting correspondence with the well-known Aharonov-Bohm effect is found. Then, the recurrence dynamics displayed by the more general case of two condensates released from the two opposite turning points of a harmonic trap is considered in terms of the distance between such turning points.

  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.

  We study the melting of charge-density waves in a Holstein model after a sudden switch-on of the electronic hopping. A comparison with exact data obtained for a Holstein chain shows that a semiclassical treatment of both the electrons and phonons is required in order to correctly describe the phononic dynamics.

We show that such systems feature a non-trivial Hilbert space fragmentation for momenta incommensurate with the lattice. We conjecture that a Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless-type transition is driven by the unbinding of vortices along the temporal direction.

  We compute the geometric phases acquired in both unitary and dissipative Jaynes-Cummings models. In the dissipative model, the non-unitary effects arise from the outflow of photons through the cavity walls. We show the geometric phase is robust, exhibiting a vanishing correction under a non-unitary evolution.

  In spite of particle losses the quantum entanglement propagation exhibits a ballistic character with propagation speeds related to the differerent quasiparticles that are involved in the dynamics. Our analysis reveals that photon dissipation has a strikingly asymmetric behavior in the two configurations with a much more dramatic role on the holon entanglement propagation than for the doublon case.
