Kibble-Zurek Mechanism and Beyond: Lessons from a Holographic Superfluid Disk
Chuan-Yin Xia, Hua-Bi Zeng, András Grabarits +1
The superfluid phase transition dynamics and associated spontaneous vortex formation with the crossing of the critical temperature in a disk geometry is studied in the framework of…
Universal Critical Holography and Domain Wall Formation
Tian-Chi Ma, Han-Qing Shi, Hai-Qing Zhang +1
Using holography, we study the universal scaling laws governing the coarsening dynamics of strongly coupled domain walls. Specifically, we studied the universal dependence of the l…
Proposal for many-body quantum chaos detection
Adway Kumar Das, Cameron Cianci, Delmar G. A. Cabral +8
In this work, the term ``quantum chaos'' refers to spectral correlations similar to those found in the random matrix theory. Quantum chaos can be diagnosed through the analysis of…
Kibble-Zurek Mechanism for Nonequilibrium Generation of Magnetic Monopoles in Spin Ices
Zhijie Fan, Adolfo del Campo, Gia-Wei Chern
The proliferation of topological defects is a common out-of-equilibrium phenomenon when a system is driven into a phase of broken symmetry. The Kibble-Zurek mechanism (KZM) provide…
Kibble-Zurek mechanism of Ising domains
Kai Du, Xiaochen Fang, Choongjae Won +5
The formation of topological defects after a symmetry-breaking phase transition is an overarching phenomenon that encodes rich information about the underlying dynamics. Kibble-Zur…
Universal defect density scaling in an oscillating dynamic phase transition
Wei-can Yang, Makoto Tsubota, Adolfo del Campo +1
Universal scaling laws govern the density of topological defects generated while crossing an equilibrium continuous phase transition. The Kibble-Zurek mechanism (KZM) predicts the…
Role of boundary conditions in the full counting statistics of topological defects after crossing a continuous phase transition
Fernando J. Gómez-Ruiz, David Subires, Adolfo del Campo
In a scenario of spontaneous symmetry breaking in finite time, topological defects are generated at a density that scale with the driving time according to the Kibble-Zurek mechani…
Universal breakdown of Kibble-Zurek scaling in fast quenches across a phase transition
Hua-Bi Zeng, Chuan-Yin Xia, Adolfo del Campo
The crossing of a continuous phase transition gives rise to the formation of topological defects described by the Kibble-Zurek mechanism (KZM) in the limit of slow quenches. The KZ…
Kibble-Zurek Mechanism for Nonequilibrium Phase Transitions in Driven Systems with Quenched Disorder
C. J. O. Reichhardt, A. del Campo, C. Reichhardt
We numerically study the density of topological defects for a two-dimensional assembly of particles driven over quenched disorder as a function of quench rate through the nonequili…
Locality of Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking and Universal Spacing Distribution of Topological Defects Formed Across a Phase Transition
Adolfo del Campo, Fernando Javier Gómez-Ruiz, Hai-Qing Zhang
The crossing of a continuous phase transition results in the formation of topological defects with a density predicted by the Kibble-Zurek mechanism (KZM). We characterize the spat…
Distribution of Kinks in an Ising Ferromagnet After Annealing and the Generalized Kibble-Zurek Mechanism
Jack J. Mayo, Zhijie Fan, Gia-Wei Chern +1
We consider the annealing dynamics of a one-dimensional Ising ferromagnet induced by a temperature quench in finite time. In the limit of slow cooling, the asymptotic two-point cor…
Full Counting Statistics of Topological Defects After Crossing a Phase Transition
Fernando J. Gómez-Ruiz, Jack J. Mayo, Adolfo del Campo
We consider the number distribution of topological defects resulting from the finite-time crossing of a continuous phase transition and identify signatures of universality beyond t…
Nonequilibrium uncertainty principle from information geometry
Schuyler B. Nicholson, Adolfo del Campo, Jason R. Green
With a statistical measure of distance, we derive a classical uncertainty relation for processes traversing nonequilibrium states both transiently and irreversibly. The geometric u…
Quantum Performance of Thermal Machines over Many Cycles
Gentaro Watanabe, B. Prasanna Venkatesh, Peter Talkner +1
The performance of quantum heat engines is generally based on the analysis of a single cycle. We challenge this approach by showing that the total work performed by a quantum engin…
Universality of Phase Transition Dynamics: Topological Defects from Symmetry Breaking
Adolfo del Campo, Wojciech H. Zurek
In the course of a non-equilibrium continuous phase transition, the dynamics ceases to be adiabatic in the vicinity of the critical point as a result of the critical slowing down (…
Causality and non-equilibrium second-order phase transitions in inhomogeneous systems
A. del Campo, T. W. B. Kibble, W. H. Zurek
When a second-order phase transition is crossed at fine rate, the evolution of the system stops being adiabatic as a result of the critical slowing down in the neighborhood of the…
The asymptotic Bethe ansatz solution for one-dimensional SU(2) spinor bosons with finite range Gaussian interactions
J. Y. Lee, X. W. Guan, A. del Campo +1
We propose a one-dimensional model of spinor bosons with SU(2) symmetry and a two-body finite range Gaussian interaction potential. We show that the model is exactly solvable when…

Gabriele De Chiara, Adolfo del Campo, Giovanna Morigi +2
Structural defects in ion crystals can be formed during a linear quench of the transverse trapping frequency across the mechanical instability from a linear chain to the zigzag str…
