Deconstructing symmetry breaking dynamics
Fumika Suzuki, Wojciech H. Zurek
The Kibble-Zurek mechanism (KZM) successfully predicts the density of topological defects deposited by the phase transitions, but it is not clear why. Its key conjecture is that, n…
Machine learning topological defect formation
Fumika Suzuki, Ying Wai Li, Wojciech H. Zurek
According to the Kibble-Zurek mechanism (KZM), the density of topological defects created during a second-order phase transition is determined by the correlation length at the free…
Persistent oscillation of a Cooper-pair condensate of topological defects in a nonintegrable quantum Ising chain
Francis A. Bayocboc, Jacek Dziarmaga, Marek M. Rams +1
We identify persistent oscillations in a nonintegrable quantum Ising chain. In the integrable chain with nearest-neighbor interactions, the nature, origin, and decay of post-transi…
Dynamics of the order parameter in symmetry breaking phase transitions
Fumika Suzuki, Wojciech H. Zurek
The formation of topological defects in second-order phase transitions can be investigated by solving partial differential equations for the evolution of the order parameter in spa…
