• Abstract: Turbulence in quantum fluids has, surprisingly, a lot in common with its classical counterpart. Recently, cold atomic gases has emerged as a well controlled experimental platform to study turbulent dynamics. In this work, we introduce a novel system to study quantum turbulence in optics, with the major advantage of having access to a wide range of characterization tools available for light fields. In particular we report the temporal dynamics of density and phase and we show the emergence of isotropy in momentum space and the presence of different scaling laws in the incompressible kinetic energy spectrum. The microscopic origin of the algebraic exponents in the energy spectrum is discussed by studying the internal structure of quantized vortices within the healing length and their clustering at larger length scales. These results are obtained using two counter-streaming fluids of light, which allows for a precise preparation of the initial state and the in-situ measurement of the compressible and incompressible fluid velocity.

• Quantum corrections at second order in derivatives to the dynamics of small non-relativistic fluids [0.0]
  For mesoscopic fluids consisting of a small number of atoms, second-order corrections can become significant. We identify relevant second-order terms of quantum origin that contribute already in a static situation. We assess the influence of these terms on numerical solutions of second-order fluid dynamic equations for the expansion of a mesoscopic ultra-cold Fermi gas released from an anisotropic harmonic trap in two spatial dimensions.

  Quantum fluids of light are ensembles of photons that acquire a finite mass from spatial confinement or diffraction. The peculiar properties of these fluids are highlighted in comparison with standard condensed matter systems. Perspectives towards a new generation of experiments on strongly correlated fluids of light and towards opto-electronic applications are sketched.

  Characterizing and controlling entanglement in quantum materials is crucial for the development of next-generation quantum technologies. We propose a systematic approach to quantify the time-dependent quantum Fisher information and entanglement depth of transient states of quantum materials. Our work sets the stage for experimentally witnessing and controlling entanglement in light-driven quantum materials via ultrafast spectroscopic measurements.

  We develop a formal and numerical spectral analysis for $U(1)$ symmetry-breaking quantum fluids. Our analysis builds naturally on the canonical approach to spectral analysis of velocity fields in compressible quantum fluids. A central vortex in a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate provides an analytically tractable example with spectral features of interest in both the infrared and ultraviolet regimes.

  We propose applying time-dependent photo-emission spectroscopy, an established tool in solid state systems, in cold atom quantum simulators. We show in exact diagonalization simulations of the one-dimensional $t-J$ model that the spinons start to populate previously unoccupied states in an effective band structure. The dependence of the spectral function on the time after the pump pulse reveals collective interactions among spinons.

  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.

  We experimentally prove the feasibility of disordered quantum walks to realize a quantum simulator that is able to model general subdiffusive phenomena. Our experiment simulates such phenomena by means of a finely controlled insertion of various levels of disorder during the evolution of the walker. This allows us to explore the full range of subdiffusive behaviors, ranging from anomalous Anderson localization to normal diffusion.

• Zitterbewegung and Klein-tunneling phenomena for transient quantum waves [77.34726150561087]
  We show that the Zitterbewegung effect manifests itself as a series of quantum beats of the particle density in the long-time limit. We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront. The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
