Nonequilibrium chiral dynamics by the time dependent variational approach with squeezed states

Abstract

We investigate the inhomogeneous chiral dynamics of the O(4) linear sigma model in 1+1 dimensions using the time dependent variational approach in the space spanned by the squeezed states. We compare two cases, with and without the Gaussian approximation for the Green's functions. We show that mode-mode correlation plays a decisive role in the out-of-equilibrium quantum dynamics of domain formation and squeezing of states.
