Persistent oscillations versus thermalization in the quench dynamics of quantum gases with long-range interactions

Abstract
Searching for nonthermalized dynamics in interacting quantum systems is not only of fundamental theoretical interest in nonequilibrium quantum physics, but also of immense practical significance in quantum information processing. In this paper, we study quantum quench dynamics in an hard-core bosonic model with infinite-range interactions, which have been realized in recent high-finesse cavity experiments. We show the long-time dynamics of this model can exhibit either undamped oscillations or thermalization depending on the choice of initial states. The long-range nature of the interactions rather than conserved quantities are responsible for such nonergodic dynamical behaviors.
