• Abstract: We investigate the quench dynamics of a two-dimensional Rashba spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensate. Our study focuses on quenching the system from a zero-momentum phase to a plane-wave phase. During this quench, topological defects emerge in the form of vortices. These vortices and anti-vortices exhibit a random spatial distribution with equal numbers, mirroring the core principles of Kosterlitz-Thouless physics. In a uniform system, we observe an exponential scaling of both the vortex production time and the vortex number with the quench rate, consistent with the conventional Kibble-Zurek mechanism. The decay of which adheres to a logarithmic law, aligning with experimental observations.

  Time crystal, a nonequilibrium phenomenon extending spontaneous symmetry breaking into the temporal dimension, holds fundamental significance in quantum many-body physics. We numerically identify the emergence of novel nonstationary oscillatory states by analyzing the spin dynamics. This study provides many insights into the intricate interplay between the dissipation-induced spin downwards and anisotropic-interaction-induced spin precession or spin fluctuation.

  We investigate the effect that spatially modulated continuous conserved quantities can have on quantum ground states. 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 show that oscillations persist even in the adiabatic phase because of a frequency independent coupling between zero modes and excited states.
