We study synchronisation between periodically driven, interacting classical spins undergoing a Hamiltonian dynamics. In the thermodynamic limit there is a transition between a regime where all the spins oscillate synchronously for an infinite time with a period twice as the driving period (synchronized regime) and a regime where the oscillations die after a finite transient (chaotic regime). We emphasize the peculiarity of our result, having been synchronisation observed so far only in driven-dissipative systems. We discuss how our findings can be interpreted as a period-doubling time crystal and we show that synchronisation can appear both for an overall regular and an overall chaotic dynamics.

Linking thermodynamic variables like temperature $T$ and the measure of chaos, the Lyapunov exponents $lambda$, is a question of fundamental importance in many-body systems. By using nonlinear fluid equations in one and three dimensions, we prove that in thermalised flows $lambda propto sqrt{T}$, in agreement with results from frustrated spin systems. This reveals an underlying universality and provides evidence for recent conjectures on the thermal scaling of $lambda$. We also reconcile seemingly disparate effects -- equilibration on one hand and pushing systems out-of-equilibrium on the other -- of many-body chaos by relating $lambda$ to $T$ through the dynamical structures of the flow.

In this paper, exact continuum equations are derived to the classical many-body system in the hydrodynamic limit without the utilisation of statistical mechanics. It is shown that the resulting equations are universal for a class of pair potentials, and, unlike in statistical mechanics based coarse-grained models, the momentum density field carries the temperature. Evidence for the presence of pseudo time-irreversible equilibration, heat and momentum transport is provided by analysing numerical solutions of the dynamical equations. The numerical solutions further indicate the presence of non-diffusional relaxation of the macroscopic order, which raises questions about the completeness of the classical many-body dynamics in regards of the second law of thermodynamics.
We study the statistics of the work done, the fluctuation relations and the irreversible entropy production in a quantum many-body system subject to the sudden quench of a control parameter. By treating the quench as a thermodynamic transformation we show that the emergence of irreversibility in the nonequilibrium dynamics of closed many-body quantum systems can be accurately characterized. We demonstrate our ideas by considering a transverse quantum Ising model that is taken out of equilibrium by the instantaneous switching of the transverse field.

We present a new method which uses Feynman-like diagrams to calculate the statistical quantities of embedded many-body random matrix problems. The method provides a promising alternative to existing techniques and offers many important simplifications. We use it here to find the fourth, sixth and eighth moments of the level density for k fermions or bosons interacting through a random hermitian potential in the limit where the number of possible single-particle states is taken to infinity. All share the same transition, starting immediately after 2k = m, from moments arising from a semi-circular level density to gaussian moments. The results also reveal a striking feature; the domain of the 2nth moment is naturally divided into n subdomains specified by the points 2k = m, 3k = m, ..., nk = m.
We analyse the properties of the synchronisation transition in a many-body system consisting of quantum van der Pol oscillators with all-to-all coupling using a self-consistent mean-field method. We find that the synchronised state, which the system can access for oscillator couplings above a critical value, is characterised not just by a lower phase uncertainty than the corresponding unsynchronised state, but also a higher number uncertainty. Just below the critical coupling the system can evolve to the unsynchronised steady state via a long-lived transient synchronised state. We investigate the way in which this transient state eventually decays and show that the critical scaling of its lifetime is consistent with a simple classical model.
