Our method handles internal degrees of freedom completely quantum mechanically, and accounts efficiently for entanglement entropy generation by these. In non-equilibrium situations, we can follow time evolution up to timescales at which local thermalization occurs. As an application, we investigate the quench dynamics and phase fluctuations of a pair of tunnel coupled one dimensional Bose condensates described by the sine-Gordon model.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-09-04T18:53:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "dimensional systems", "quantum quenches", "semi-semiclassical theory", "method handles internal degrees", "dimensional bose condensates" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
