The process of symmetry breaking in the presence of a small symmetry-breaking field is explored and its dependence on the rate at which the critical point is crossed is studied.
Removal of violations of the Master Ward Identity in perturbative QFT

A cavity optomechanical system in which a collective density excitation of a Bose-Einstein condensate serves as the mechanical oscillator coupled to the cavity field, and the results open up new directions for investigating mechanical oscillators in the quantum regime and the border between classical and quantum physics.

A conceptually new regime of cavity QED is achieved, in which all atoms occupy a single mode of a matter-wave field and couple identically to the light field, sharing a single excitation, which opens possibilities ranging from quantum communication to a wealth of new phenomena that can be expected in the many-body physics of quantum gases with cavity-mediated interactions.
Roton-Type Mode Softening in a Quantum Gas with Cavity-Mediated Long-Range Interactions

The excitation spectrum of a Bose-Einstein condensate with cavity-mediated long-range interactions, which couple all particles to each other is investigated, finding a minimum was observed in the excitation energy, similar to that observed in roton excitations of the superfluid helium.
Real-time observation of fluctuations at the driven-dissipative Dicke phase transition

Using a dissipation channel to nondestructively gain information about a quantum many-body system provides a unique path to study the physics of driven-dissipative systems.
