Title of Talk: Hydrodynamic attractors in ultracold atoms
Abstract: Hydrodynamic attractors describe how strongly interacting systems behave like fluids even far from equilibrium, a phenomenon first seen in heavy-ion collisions. We investigate whether this can be observed in real time using ultracold atomic gases. Despite being dilute, these gases display remarkable fluid-like behavior, including nearly perfect fluidity. Through microscopic calculations, we show how they relax toward equilibrium and find that analytical attractor solutions capture the early-time dynamics well, before standard hydrodynamics kicks in.
