We set the formalism to study the way in which the choice of canonical equilibrium initial conditions affect the real-time dynamics of quantum disordered models. We use a path integral formulation on a time contour with real and imaginary time branches. The factorisation of the time-integration paths usually assumed in field-theoretical studies breaks down due to the averaging over quenched randomness. We derive the set of Schwinger-Dyson dynamical equations that govern the evolution of linear response and correlation functions. The solution of these equations is not straightforward as it needs, as an input, the full imaginary-time (or Matsubara frequency) dependence of the correlation in equilibrium. We check some limiting cases (equilibrium dynamics, classical limit) and we set the stage for the analytic and numerical analysis of quenches in random quantum systems.

In this work, we study the crystalline nuclei growth in glassy systems focusing primarily on the early stages of the process, at which the size of a growing nucleus is still comparable with the critical size. On the basis of molecular dynamics simula
tion results for two crystallizing glassy systems, we evaluate the growth laws of the crystalline nuclei and the parameters of the growth kinetics at the temperatures corresponding to deep supercoolings; herein, the statistical treatment of the simulation results is done within the mean-first-passage-time method. It is found for the considered systems at different temperatures that the crystal growth laws rescaled onto the waiting times of the critically-sized nucleus follow the unified dependence, that can simplify significantly theoretical description of the post-nucleation growth of crystalline nuclei. The evaluated size-dependent growth rates are characterized by transition to the steady-state growth regime, which depends on the temperature and occurs in the glassy systems when the size of a growing nucleus becomes two-three times larger than a critical size. It is suggested to consider the temperature dependencies of the crystal growth rate characteristics by using the reduced temperature scale $widetilde{T}$. Thus, it is revealed that the scaled values of the crystal growth rate characteristics (namely, the steady-state growth rate and the attachment rate for the critically-sized nucleus) as functions of the reduced temperature $widetilde{T}$ for glassy systems follow the unified power-law dependencies. This finding is supported by available simulation results; the correspondence with the experimental data for the crystal growth rate in glassy systems at the temperatures near the glass transition is also discussed.
We study the dynamics of one and two dimensional disordered lattice bosons/fermions initialized to a Fock state with a pattern of $1$ and $0$ particles on $A$ and ${bar A}$ sites. For non-interacting systems we establish a universal relation between
the long time density imbalance between $A$ and ${bar A}$ site, $I(infty)$, the localization length $xi_l$, and the geometry of the initial pattern. For alternating initial pattern of $1$ and $0$ particles in 1 dimension, $I(infty)=tanh[a/xi_l]$, where $a$ is the lattice spacing. For systems with mobility edge, we find analytic relations between $I(infty)$, the effective localization length $tilde{xi}_l$ and the fraction of localized states $f_l$. The imbalance as a function of disorder shows non-analytic behaviour when the mobility edge passes through a band edge. For interacting bosonic systems, we show that dissipative processes lead to a decay of the memory of initial conditions. However, the excitations created in the process act as a bath, whose noise correlators retain information of the initial pattern. This sustains a finite imbalance at long times in strongly disordered interacting systems.
We study the problem of initial conditions for slow-roll inflation along a plateau-like scalar potential within the framework of fluctuation-dissipation dynamics. We consider, in particular, that inflation was preceded by a radiation-dominated epoch
where the inflaton is coupled to light degrees of freedom and may reach a near-equilibrium state. We show that the homogeneous field component can be sufficiently localized at the origin to trigger a period of slow-roll if the interactions between the inflaton and the thermal degrees of freedom are sufficiently strong and argue that this does not necessarily spoil the flatness of the potential at the quantum level. We further conclude that the inflaton can still be held at the origin after its potential begins to dominate the energy balance, leading to a period of thermal inflation. This then suppresses the effects of nonlinear interactions between the homogeneous and inhomogeneous field modes that could prevent the former from entering a slow-roll regime. Finally, we discuss the possibility of an early period of chaotic inflation, at large field values, followed by a first stage of reheating and subsequently by a second inflationary epoch along the plateau about the origin. This scenario could prevent an early overclosure of the Universe, at the same time yielding a low tensor-to-scalar ratio in agreement with observations.
We numerically study out-of-equilibrium dynamics in a family of Heisenberg models with $1/r^6$ power-law interactions and positional disorder. Using the semi-classical discrete truncated Wigner approximation (dTWA) method, we investigate the time evo
lution of the magnetization and ensemble-averaged single-spin purity for a strongly disordered system after initializing the system in an out-of-equilibrium state. We find that both quantities display robust glassy behavior for almost any value of the anisotropy parameter of the Heisenberg Hamiltonian. Furthermore, a systematic analysis allows us to quantitatively show that, for all the scenarios considered, the stretch power lies close to the one analytically obtained in the Ising limit. This indicates that glassy relaxation behavior occurs widely in disordered quantum spin systems, independent of the particular symmetries and integrability of the Hamiltonian.
A Molecular Dynamics (MD) study of static and dynamic properties of molten and glassy germanium dioxide is presented. The interactions between the atoms are modelled by the classical pair potential proposed by Oeffner and Elliott (OE) [Oeffner R D an
d Elliott S R 1998, Phys. Rev. B, 58, 14791]. We compare our results to experiments and previous simulations. In addition, an ab initio method, the so-called Car-Parrinello Molecular Dynamics (CPMD), is applied to check the accuracy of the structural properties, as obtained by the classical MD simulations with the OE potential. As in a similar study for SiO2, the structure predicted by CPMD is only slightly softer than that resulting from the classical MD. In contrast to earlier simulations, both the static structure and dynamic properties are in very good agreement with pertinent experimental data. MD simulations with the OE potential are also used to study the relaxation dynamics. As previously found for SiO2, for high temperatures the dynamics of molten GeO2 is compatible with a description in terms of mode coupling theory.
