Dynamics of correlations in strongly interacting systems at finite temperatures — •Friedemann Queisser1, Konstantin Krutitsky1, Patrick Navez2, and Ralf Schützhold1 — 1Fakultät für Physik, Universität Duisburg-Essen, Lotharstraße, Duisburg 47048, Germany — 2Department of Physics, University of Crete, 71003 Heraklion, Greece
We discuss equilibrium and non-equilibrium properties of the Bose-Hubbard model in the formal limit of large coordination numbers Z [1]. Via an expansion of the correlation functions in powers of 1/Z we establish a hierarchy of correlations which facilitates the analysis of the system in equilibrium and in non-equilibrium. With this method we study the quantum dynamics (starting in a thermal state) after a quantum quench in the Mott (or normal gas) phase. The spread of correlations leads to an effective light-cone structure which depends sensitively on the initial thermal distribution [2].
