“…We consider an ultracold gas of 164 Dy bosons confined in an optical trap. Appropriately tuning the s-wave interaction a s , it is possible to drive the system into a supersolid phase [47]. Rotating 2D supersolids can host quantized vortices [46,[48][49][50], thus allowing us to investigate the vortex dynamics underlying pulsar glitches.…”

Glitches are sudden spin-up events that interrupt the gradual spin-down of rotating neutron stars. They are believed to arise from the rapid unpinning of vortices in the neutron star inner crust. The analogy between the inner crust of neutron stars and dipolar supersolids allows to investigate glitches. Employing such analogy, we numerically analyze the vortex trapping mechanism and how the matter density distribution influences glitches. These results pave the way for the quantum simulation of celestial bodies in laboratories.

We study the non-equilibrium dynamics of a one-dimensional Bose gas with long-range interactions that decay as $1/r^{\alpha}$ ($0.5 < \alpha < 4.0$). We investigate exotic dynamics when the interactions are suddenly switched from strongly repulsive to stronglyattractive, a procedure known to generate super-Tonks-Girardeau gases in systems with contact interactions. We find that relaxation is achieved through a complex intermediate dynamics demonstrated by violent fragmentation and chaotic delocalization. We establish that the relaxed state exhibits classical gaseous characteristics and an asymptotic state associated with unbounded entropy production. The phase diagram shows an exponential boundary between the coherent (quantum) gas and the chaotic (classical) gas. We show the universality of the dynamics by also presenting analogous results for spinless fermions. Weaker quench protocols give a certaindegree of control over the relaxation process and induce a slower initial entropy growth. Our study showcases the complex relaxation behavior of tunable long-range interacting systems that could be engineered in state-of-the-art experiments, e.g. intrapped ions or Rydberg atoms
