Dynamics of a nonequilibrium discontinuous quantum phase transition in a spinor Bose–Einstein condensate
Abstract Symmetry-breaking quantum phase transitions lead to the production of topological defects or domain walls in a wide range of physical systems. In second-order transitions, these exhibit universal scaling laws described by the Kibble–Zurek mechanism, but for first-order transitions a similar...
