• Authors: Roy D. Jara Jr., Jayson G. Cosme,
• Abstract summary: We report a new intermediate regime in the quench time, $tau_q$, separating the usual validity of the Kibble-Zurek mechanism (KZM) It manifests in the power-law scaling of the transition time with $tau_q$ as the system appears to enter the adiabatic regime. This intermediate regime emerges due to the dissipation preventing the system from freezing in the impulse regime.

• Abstract: We report a new intermediate regime in the quench time, $\tau_{q}$, separating the usual validity of the Kibble-Zurek mechanism (KZM) and its breakdown for rapid quenches in open systems under finite quench protocols. It manifests in the power-law scaling of the transition time with $\tau_{q}$ as the system appears to enter the adiabatic regime, even though the ramp is already terminated and the final quench value is held constant. This intermediate regime, which we dub as the delayed KZM, emerges due to the dissipation preventing the system from freezing in the impulse regime. This results in a large delay between the actual time the system undergoes a phase transition and the time inferred from a threshold-based criterion for the order parameter, as done in most experiments. We demonstrate using the open Dicke model and its one-dimensional lattice version that this phenomenon is a generic feature of open systems that can be mapped onto an effective coupled oscillator model. We also show that the phenomenon becomes more prominent near criticality, and its effects on the transition time measurement can be further exacerbated by large threshold values for an order parameter. Due to this, we propose an alternative method for threshold-based criterion which uses the spatio-temporal information, such as the system's defect number, for identifying the transition time.

  We introduce an alternative method that assesses relaxation directly from the time-dependent state by focusing on the evolution speed of the subsystem. We demonstrate that in systems reaching relaxation, as the overall system size increases, the evolution speed of sufficiently small yet still finite-sized subsystems notably diminishes.

  We develop a free, machine learning based solution to two problems in nonlinear dynamics. We demonstrate that, when the machine is trained in the normal functioning regime with a chaotic attractor, the transition point can be predicted accurately. For a parameter drift through the critical point, the machine with the input parameter channel is able to predict not only that the system will be in a transient state, but also the average transient time before the final collapse.

  Time-reversal symmetry is a fundamental property that frequently holds in classical and quantum mechanics. We propose a novel loss function that measures how well our ordinary differential equation (ODE) networks comply with this time-reversal symmetry. We show that, even for systems that do not possess the full time-reversal symmetry, TRS-ODENs can achieve better predictive performances over baselines.
