Cover Story: The dispute regarding the problem of thermalization in a dynamical system of interacting classical atoms began in 1876 It was resolved by dynamical chaos theory with exponential instability of motion. We seek to extend this dispute to the quantum world of cold atoms in an isolated Sinai oscillator trap with single atom eigenstates described by quantum chaos. Here, the dynamical thermalization of many-body quantum system emerges only at interactions above a border given by the Åberg criterion. View this paper.

Recently, Kayyalha et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett., 2019, 122, 047003) reported on the anomalous enhancement of the self-field critical currents (Ic(sf,T)) at low temperatures in Nb/BiSbTeSe2-nanoribbon/Nb Josephson junctions. The enhancement was attributed...

Action Functional for a Particle with Damping

  • Federico de Bettin,
  • Alberto Cappellaro and
  • Luca Salasnich

In this brief report we discuss the action functional of a particle with damping, showing that it can be obtained from the dissipative equation of motion through a modification which makes the new dissipative equation invariant for time reversal symm...

Time-resolved optical conductivity is an often used tool to interrogate quantum materials driven out of equilibrium. Theoretically calculating this observable is a complex topic with several approaches discussed in the literature. Using a nonequilibr...

In several strongly correlated electron systems, the short range ordering of defects, charge and local lattice distortions are found to show complex inhomogeneous spatial distributions. There is growing evidence that such inhomogeneity plays a fundam...

Dynamical Thermalization of Interacting Fermionic Atoms in a Sinai Oscillator Trap

  • Klaus M. Frahm,
  • Leonardo Ermann and
  • Dima L. Shepelyansky

We study numerically the problem of dynamical thermalization of interacting cold fermionic atoms placed in an isolated Sinai oscillator trap. This system is characterized by a quantum chaos regime for one-particle dynamics. We show that, for a many-b...

Instabilities of the Vortex Lattice and the Peak Effect in Single Crystal YBa2Cu4O8

  • Mehmet Egilmez,
  • Isaac Isaac,
  • Ali S. Alnaser,
  • Zbigniew Bukowski,
  • Janusz Karpinski,
  • Kim H. Chow and
  • Jan Jung

We report on the measurements of the remnant magnetization, and hence critical current, in a single crystal of YBa2Cu4O8. A peak in the temperature dependence of the critical current is observed when the external magnetic field is tilted away from th...
