Hydrodynamic attractors
Tilman Enss, Michal P. Heller, Alexandre Serantes +1
Attractors are effective low-dimensional structures, defined in a chosen set of observables, that trajectories from different initial states approach; hydrodynamic attractors are t…
Building far-from-equilibrium effective field theories using shift symmetries
Xin An, Robbe Brants, Michal P. Heller +1
Contemporary understanding of thermalization in quantum field theory stems largely from understanding properties of transient excitations of equilibria. These nonhydrodynamic excit…
Adiabatic hydrodynamization and quasinormal modes of nonthermal attractors
Matisse De Lescluze, Michal P. Heller, Aleksas Mazeliauskas +2
Nonthermal attractors govern the emergent self-similar dynamics of far-from-equilibrium quantum systems, from ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions to cold-atom experiments. Within…
Experimentally accessible drive-induced attractor in a Fermi gas near unitarity
Michal P. Heller, Clemens Werthmann
Hydrodynamic attractors describe loss of sensitivity to initial conditions. Their earliest, expansion-driven stage is distinct from the later relaxation-driven mechanism and centra…
