Low-Energy Effective Field Theory for a Spin-1 BEC Far From Equilibrium — •Anna-Maria Elisabeth Glück, Ido Siovitz, Hannes Köper, and Thomas Gasenzer — Kirchhoff-Institut für Physik, Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg, Im Neuenheimer Feld 227, 69120 Heidelberg

The spin-1 Bose gas quenched far from equilibrium displays remarkable universal spatio-temporal self-similar scaling, which we hypothesize to be due to the system's vicinity to a non-thermal fixed point during its evolution back to equilibrium. This study introduces a low-energy effective field theory for the description of the phase-excitation dynamics in a one-dimensional spin-1 Bose gas following a quench from the polar to the easy-plane phase. In particular, we explore the incorporation of density fluctuations beyond the 1-loop order. Through numerical simulations, we subsequently compare the far-from-equilibrium scaling behavior of the effective theory to that of the fundamental theory.
