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 (…
Bent waveguides for matter-waves: supersymmetric potentials and reflectionless geometries
Adolfo del Campo, Malcolm G. Boshier, Avadh Saxena
Non-zero curvature in a waveguide leads to the appearance of an attractive quantum potential which crucially affects the dynamics in matter-wave circuits. Using methods of supersym…
Shortcuts to adiabaticity by counter-diabatic driving
Adolfo del Campo
The evolution of a system induced by counter-diabatic driving mimics the adiabatic dynamics without the requirement of slow driving. Engineering it involves diagonalizing the insta…
More bang for your buck: Towards super-adiabatic quantum engines
A. del Campo, J. Goold, M. Paternostro
The reversible nature of thermodynamical cycles is an idealisation based on the assumption of perfect quasi-static dynamics. As a consequence of this assumption, ideal engines oper…
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…
