Supercooled Goldstone Bosons at the QCD Chiral Phase Transition

Adrien Florio, Eduardo Grossi, Aleksas Mazeliauskas +2

We discuss a universal non-equilibrium enhancement of long-wavelength Goldstone bosons induced by quenches to the broken phase in Model G -- the dynamical universality class of an…

Two-fermion negativity and confinement in the Schwinger model

Adrien Florio

We consider the fermionic (logarithmic) negativity between two fermionic modes in the Schwinger model. Recent results pointed out that fermionic systems can exhibit stronger entang…
