Nonequilibrium dynamics of fermions: from resonant Xray scattering in solids to ultracold atoms

by Eugene Demler (Harvard University)

Europe/Stockholm
Description
Many new experimental techniques in condensed matter physics go beyond the paradigm of linear response measurements. I will use an example of resonant Xray scattering in high Tc cuprates to demonstrate how new insights into experimental results can be gained by considering their nonequilibrium aspects. I will also discuss on-going experiments with ultracold atoms that can help address open problems of quantum dynamics of many-body fermionic systems.
