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…

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…

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…
