Phase Transition in Space: How Far Does a Symmetry Bend Before It Breaks?
Wojciech H. Zurek, Uwe Dorner
We extend the theory of symmetry breaking dynamics in non-equilibrium second order phase transitions known as the Kibble-Zurek mechanism (KZM) to transitions where the change of ph…

Winding up by a quench: Insulator to superfluid phase transition in a ring of BECs
J. Dziarmaga, J. Meisner, W. H. Zurek
We study phase transition from the Mott insulator to superfluid in a periodic optical lattice. Kibble-Zurek mechanism predicts buildup of winding number through random walk of BEC…
