• Abstract: Spatio-temporal scaling dynamics connected to non-thermal fixed points has been suggested as a universal framework to describe the relaxation of isolated far-from-equilibrium systems. Experimental studies in weakly-interacting cold atom systems have found scaling dynamics connected to specific attractors. In our experiments, we study a quantum gas of strongly interacting $^6$Li$_2$ Feshbach molecules, brought far out of equilibrium by imprinting a white-noise phase profile. The observed relaxation follows the same universal dynamics as for the previously observed formation of the order parameter in a shock-cooled gas of weakly interacting $^{87}$Rb atoms. Our results point to a single universal fixed point with a large basin of attraction governing the relaxation of quasi-1D bosonic systems, independent of their specific initial conditions and microscopic details.

  We study a very narrow Feshbach resonance of $133$Cs atoms having a width of 8.3 mG. A rapid quench of an atomic condensate to unit leads to coherent oscillations involving dynamically produced condensed and non-condensed molecules and atoms. The same characteristic frequency, determined by the Feshbach coupling, is observed in all types of particles.

• Observation of Hilbert-space fragmentation and fractonic excitations in two-dimensional Hubbard systems [0.0]
  We experimentally observe Hilbert space fragmentation (HSF) in a two-dimensional tilted Bose-Hubbard model. We find uniform initial states with equal particle number and energy differ strikingly in their relaxation dynamics. Our results mark the first observation of HSF beyond one dimension, as well as the concomitant direct observation of fractons.

  We study a dense ensemble illuminated by a strong coherent drive while interacting via dipole-dipole interactions. Although the steady-state features some similarities to the reported superradiant to normal non-induced transition, we observe significant qualitative and quantitative differences. We develop a simple theoretical model that explains the scaling properties by accounting for interaction-equilibrium inhomogeneous effects and spontaneous emission.

  We study the collective oscillations of spin-polarized fermionic impurities immersed in a Bose-Einstein condensate. For strong interactions, the Fermi gas perfectly mimics the superfluid hydrodynamic modes of the condensate. With an increasing number of bosonic thermal excitations, the dynamics of the impurities cross over from the collisionless to the hydrodynamic regime.

  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.

The proposed experiment has the potential of exploring the evolution up to late times even beyond the weak coupling regime.

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.
