Prethermalization and universal dynamics in near-integrable quantum systems
Prethermalization and universal dynamics in near-integrable quantum systems
We review the recent progress in the understanding of the relaxation of isolated near-integrable quantum many-body systems. Focusing on prethermalization and universal dynamics following a quench, we describe the experiments with ultracold atomic gases that illustrate these phenomena and summarize the essential theoretical concepts employed to interpret them. Our discussion …
