Evolution of Vortex Strings after a Thermal Quench in a Holographic Superfluid
Chuan-Yin Xia, András Grabarits, Hua-Bi Zeng +1
The formation of topological defects during continuous phase transitions exhibits nonequilibrium universality. While the Kibble-Zurek mechanism (KZM) predicts universal scaling of…

Topological Defect Formation Beyond the Kibble-Zurek Mechanism in Crossover Transitions with Approximate Symmetries
Peng Yang, Chuan-Yin Xia, Sebastian Grieninger +2
The formation of topological defects during continuous second-order phase transitions is well described by the Kibble-Zurek mechanism (KZM). However, when the spontaneously broken…

Dissipation and Decay of Three Dimensional Holographic Quantum Turbulence
Hua-Bi Zeng, Chuan-Yin Xia, Wei-Can Yang +2
Quantum turbulence is a far-from-equilibrium process characterized by high nonlinearity. Holographic duality provides a systematic framework for simulating the decaying -dim…
