Dynamical Phase Transition from Nonequilibrium Dynamics of Dark Solitons
Abstract
By holographic duality, we identify a novel dynamical phase transition which results from the temperature dependence of nonequilibrium dynamics of dark solitons in a superfluid. For a nonequilibrium superfluid system with an initial density of dark solitons, there exists a critical temperature Td, above which the system relaxes to equilibrium by producing sound waves, while below which it goes through an intermediate phase with a finite density of vortex-antivortex pairs. In particular, as Td is approached from below, the density of vortex pairs scales as (Td-T)γ with the critical exponent γ=1/2.
