Soft Matter and Complex Systems Seminar

The generalised hydrodynamics is a new approach to study strongly correlated quantum matter. It’s an effective theory that captures the low-energy dynamics and extends (generalises) the standard hydrodynamics in the presence of a large number of local conservation laws. It provides insights into equilibration and thermalisation at the quantum level. The presentation will start with a gentle introduction to this theory. In the second part, I will discuss our recent results that on one hand explore the dynamics predicted by GHD and on the other provide some microscopic validations of the theory. Generalised hydrodynamics is an excellent example of how to construct an effective macroscopic theory based on microscopic intuitions.
