Few is different: deciphering many-body dynamics in mesoscopic quantum gases

Juergen Berges, Sandra Brandstetter, Jasmine Brewer +27

Emergent macroscopic descriptions of matter, such as hydrodynamics, are central to our description of complex physical systems across a wide spectrum of energy scales. The conventi…

What ultracold atoms tell us about the real-time dynamics of QCD in extreme conditions

J. Berges

I review developments of how compact table-top setups with ultracold atoms can help us to understand the more complex real-time dynamics of QCD probed in heavy-ion collision experi…

Bottom-up isotropization in classical-statistical lattice gauge theory

J. Berges, S. Scheffler, D. Sexty

We compute nonequilibrium dynamics for classical-statistical SU(2) pure gauge theory on a lattice. We consider anisotropic initial conditions with high occupation numbers in the tr…

Nonequilibrium quantum fields from first principles

J. Berges, Sz. Borsanyi

Calculations of nonequilibrium processes become increasingly feasable in quantum field theory from first principles. There has been important progress in our analytical understandi…

Range of validity of transport equations

Jurgen Berges, Szabolcs Borsanyi

Transport equations can be derived from quantum field theory assuming a loss of information about the details of the initial state and a gradient expansion. While the latter can be…

Isotropization far from equilibrium

J. Berges, Sz. Borsanyi, C. Wetterich

Isotropization occurs on time scales much shorter than the thermal equilibration time. This is a crucial ingredient for the understanding of collision experiments of heavy nuclei o…
