Tunable Mpemba Effect in a Prethermal Many-Body Spin Network
Chaitali Shah, Cooper M. Selco, Leo Joon Il Moon +1
Relaxation in an interacting system is determined not only by its initial distance from equilibrium, but also by the relaxation modes populated by the initial state. Here we experi…

Prethermal rotating-frame solid echo in a dipolar nuclear-spin network
Quentin Reynard-Feytis, William Beatrez, Leo Joon Il Moon +2
Floquet prethermalization can endow interacting quantum solids with long-lived, approximately conserved quantities, enabling Hamiltonian engineering and new dynamical probes. Using…

Sensing with discrete time crystals
Leo Joon Il Moon, Paul M. Schindler, Ryan J. Smith +4
Prethermal discrete time crystals (PDTCs) are a nonequilibrium state of matter characterized by long-range spatiotemporal order, and exhibiting a subharmonic response stabilized by…
