We explore the dynamics of a Bose gas following its quench to a strongly interacting regime near a Feshbach resonance. Within a self-consistent Bogoliubov analysis we find that after the initial condensate-quasiparticle Rabi oscillations, at long time scales the gas is characterized by a nonequilibrium steady-state momentum distribution function, with depletion, condensate density and contact that deviate strongly from their corresponding equilibrium values. These are in a qualitative agreement with recent experiments on Rb85 by Makotyn, et al. Our analysis also suggests that for sufficiently deep quenches close to the resonance the nonequilibrium state undergoes a phase transition to a fully depleted state, characterized by a vanishing condensate density.Comment: 4 pages, 5 pdf figure

Polarized optical transmission properties through the L-shaped holes array in silver film was investigated at near infrared wavelength. Besides the enhanced transmission due to the combined plasmonic excitations, strong optical rotation was definitely observed at specific polarized incidences. After elaborate analyses, two eigenmodes were clearly characterized as the results of the hybrid localized plasmon resonances. Any polarization states from the incidences will degenerate into these two eigenstates after transmissions, suggesting a practical method to manipulate the polarization of light. Our result demonstrates the giant rotation rate achieved by the nanothin sample, indicating potential applications in the micro-optical devices.

We explore the dynamics of a resonant Bose gas following its quench to a strongly interacting regime near a Feshbach resonance. For such deep quenches, we utilize a self-consistent dynamic field approximation and find that after an initial regime of many-body Rabi-like oscillations between the condensate and finite-momentum quasiparticle pairs, at long times, the gas reaches a pre-thermalized nonequilibrium steady state. We explore the resulting state through its broad stationary momentum distribution function, that exhibits a power-law high momentum tail. We study the dynamics and steady-state form of the associated enhanced depletion, quench-rate dependent excitation energy, Tan's contact, structure function and radio frequency spectroscopy. We find these predictions to be in a qualitative agreement with recent experiments.

We study a nonequilibrium dynamics of a one-dimensional spin-imbalanced Fermi-Hubbard model following a quantum quench of on-site interaction, realizable, for example, in Feshbach-resonant atomic Fermi gases. We focus on the post-quench evolution starting from the initial BCS and FuldeFerrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) ground states and analyze the corresponding spin-singlet, spintriplet, density-density, and magnetization-magnetization correlation functions. We find that beyond a light-cone crossover time, rich post-quench dynamics leads to thermalized and pre-thermalized stationary states that display strong dependence on the initial ground state. For initially gapped BCS state, the long-time stationary state resembles thermalization with the effective temperature set by the initial value of the Hubbard interaction. In contrast, while the initial gapless FFLO state reaches a stationary pre-thermalized form, it remains far from equilibrium. We suggest that such post-quench dynamics can be used as a fingerprint for identification and study of the FFLO phase.
