QSIT Colloquium

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

Eugene Demler
Harvard University and ITS ETH Zurich

Many new experimental techniques in condensed matter physics go beyond the paradigm of linear response measurements. I will use 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.
