We investigate the particle-number dependence of some features of the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of d-dimensional Fermi gases in the dilute regime. We consider protocols entailing the variation of the external potential which confines the particles within a limited spatial region, in particular sudden changes of the trap size. In order to characterize the dynamic behavior of the Fermi gas, we consider various global quantities such as the ground-state fidelity for different trap sizes, the quantum work statistics associated with the protocol considered, and the Loschmidt echo measuring the overlap of the out-of-equilibrium quantum states with the initial ground state. Their asymptotic particle-number dependences show power laws for noninteracting Fermi gases. We also discuss the effects of short-ranged interactions to the power laws of the average work and its square fluctuations, within the Hubbard model and its continuum limit, arguing that they do not generally change the particle-number power laws of the free Fermi gases, in any spatial dimensions.

We develop a general approach for calculating the characteristic function of the work distribution of quantum many-body systems in a time-varying potential, whose many-body wave function can be cast in the Slater determinant form. Our results are app
licable to a wide range of systems including an ideal gas of spinless fermions in one dimension (1D), the Tonks-Girardeau (TG) gas of hard-core bosons, as well as a 1D gas of hard-core anyons. In order to illustrate the utility of our approach, we focus on the TG gas confined to an arbitrary time-dependent trapping potential. In particular, we use the determinant representation of the many-body wave function to characterize the nonequilibrium thermodynamics of the TG gas and obtain exact and computationally tractable expressions---in terms of Fredholm determinants---for the mean work, the work probability distribution function, the nonadiabaticity parameter, and the Loschmidt amplitude. When applied to a harmonically trapped TG gas, our results for the mean work and the nonadiabaticity parameter reduce to those derived previously using an alternative approach. We next propose to use periodic modulation of the trap frequency in order to drive the system to highly non-equilibrium states by taking advantage of the phenomenon of parametric resonance. Under such driving protocol, the nonadiabaticity parameter may reach large values, which indicates a large amount of irreversible work being done on the system as compared to sudden quench protocols considered previously. This scenario is realizable in ultracold atom experiments, aiding fundamental understanding of all thermodynamic properties of the system.
The rotation of two-component Fermi gases and the subsequent appearance of vortices have been the subject of numerous experimental and theoretical studies. Recent experimental advances in hyperfine state-dependent potentials and highly degenerate het
eronuclear Fermi gases suggest that it would be feasible to create component-dependent rotation potentials in future experiments. In this study we use an effective field theory for Fermi gases to consider the effects of rotating only one component of the Fermi gas. We find that the superfluid band gap in bulk exists up to higher rotation frequencies because the superfluid at rest, far away from the vortex, has to resist only half of the rotational effects. The vortex remains the energetically favorable state above a critical frequency but exhibits a larger core size.
Non-analyticities in the logarithm of the Loschmidt echo, known as dynamical quantum phase transitions [DQPTs], are a recently introduced attempt to classify the myriad of possible phenomena which can occur in far from equilibrium closed quantum syst
ems. In this work, we analytically investigate the Loschmidt echo in nonequilibrium $s$-wave and topological $p_x+ip_y$ fermionic superfluids. We find that the presence of non-analyticities in the echo is not invariant under global rotations of the superfluid phase. We remedy this deficiency by introducing a more general notion of a grand canonical Loschmidt echo. Overall, our study shows that DQPTs are not a good indicator for the long time dynamics of an interacting system. In particular, there are no DQPTs to tell apart distinct dynamical phases of quenched BCS superconductors. Nevertheless, they can signal a quench induced change in the topology and also keep track of solitons emerging from unstable stationary states of a BCS superconductor.
We study the decay rate of the Loschmidt echo or fidelity in a chaotic system under a time-dependent perturbation $V(q,t)$ with typical strength $hbar/tau_{V}$. The perturbation represents the action of an uncontrolled environment interacting with th
e system, and is characterized by a correlation length $xi_0$ and a correlation time $tau_0$. For small perturbation strengths or rapid fluctuating perturbations, the Loschmidt echo decays exponentially with a rate predicted by the Fermi Golden Rule, $1/tilde{tau}= tau_{c}/tau_{V}^2$, where typically $tau_{c} sim min[tau_{0},xi_0/v]$ with $v$ the particle velocity. Whenever the rate $1/tilde{tau}$ is larger than the Lyapunov exponent of the system, a perturbation independent Lyapunov decay regime arises. We also find that by speeding up the fluctuations (while keeping the perturbation strength fixed) the fidelity decay becomes slower, and hence, one can protect the system against decoherence.
One of the most important applications of quantum mechanics is the thermodynamic description of quantum gases. Despite the fundamental importance of this topic, a comprehensive description of the thermodynamic properties of non-Hermitian quantum gase
s is still lacking. Here, we investigate the properties of bosonic and fermionic non-Hermitian systems at finite temperatures. We show that non-Hermitian systems exihibit oscillations both in temperature and imaginary time. As such, they can be a possible platform to realize an imaginary time crystal (iTC) phase. The Hatano-Nelson model is identified as a simple lattice model to reveal this effect. In addition, we show that the conditions for the iTC to be manifest are the same as the conditions for the presence of disorder points, where the correlation functions show oscillating behavior. This analysis makes clear that our realization of iTC is effectively a way to filter one specific Matsubara mode. In this realization, the Matsubara frequency, that enters as a mathematical tool to compute correlation functions for finite temperatures, can be measured experimentally.
