Prethermal gauge structure and surface growth in lattice gauge theories
Lukas Homeier, Andrea Pizzi, Hongzheng Zhao +3
Universal aspects of thermalization in interacting many-body systems are challenging to derive microscopically, especially in kinetically constrained models, yet their numerical st…

Floquet Superheating
Yang Hou, Andrea Pizzi, Huike Jin +3
Periodically driven many-body systems generally heat towards a featureless 'infinite-temperature' state. As an alternative to uniform heating in a clean system, here we establish a…

Apparent bistability from weak long-range interactions
Achilleas Lazarides, Andrea Pizzi
Bistability, or the coexistence of two stable phases, can be broken by a bias field destabilising one of the phases via the nucleation and growth of defects. Strong long-range…
