Dynamics And Thermodynamics Of Many-Particle Cold Atom Systems

Abstract

The main objectives of the proposed research include developing controllable phase space methods for strongly correlated systems (spins, bosons, fermions) and their application to various experimentally relevant setups; understanding phases, phase transitions, transient dynamics, non-adiabatic response, heating effects and other properties of periodically driven (Floquet) systems both isolated and coupled to the bath (which can be alternatively viewed as isolated systems subject to local driving protocols); deriving effective equations of motion governing dynamics of slowdegrees of freedom (like the order parameters) from non-adiabatic expansion and finding connec-tions of the response coefficients with geometry and topology beyond standard linear response.
