Universality and Out-of-Equilibrium Dynamics with Long-Range Couplings - Class 1 - Part 1

Explore universality and out-of-equilibrium dynamics in quantum many-body systems with long-range couplings in this 45-minute lecture from the II School on Emergent Phenomena in Non-Equilibrium Quantum Many-Body Systems. Learn from Nicolo Defenu of ETH Zürich as he introduces fundamental concepts of how long-range interactions affect the universal behavior and non-equilibrium evolution of quantum systems. Discover the theoretical framework for understanding emergent phenomena when quantum many-body systems are driven out of equilibrium, with particular emphasis on how long-range couplings modify traditional scaling laws and critical behavior. Gain insights into cutting-edge research in quantum statistical mechanics and condensed matter physics, examining how distance-dependent interactions create new classes of universality and influence the relaxation dynamics of complex quantum systems.
