Description
Experiments involving the behavior of quantum magnetic systems in the non-ergodic regime have been difficult to access due to a lack of clearly defined theoretical targets. The situation is changing with the realization that experiments can access the signatures of non-ergodic behavior both in the dynamical correlations in the weakly out-of-equilibrium scattering regime as well as under transient conditions. In the lecture I will cover experiments on one dimensional magnets that show Kardar-Parisi-Zhang like out-of-equilibrium universality, laser pumping in magnon systems, as well as the ways that glass formation and signatures of many-body localization can be accessed.
