Hydrodynamics of low-temperature 1D gases

Seminars of the Institut de Physique de Nice,

Abstract:
I will present a pedagogical overview of recent developments in the hydrodynamics of one-dimensional gases, with a focus on the low-temperature regime. In this limit, two phenomena are of particular interest: the formation of shock waves and the emergence of long-range quantum correlations. Shock wave formation results in the breakdown of conventional Euler hydrodynamics, necessitating alternative, regular hydrodynamic descriptions. The development of long-range quantum correlations can be traced back to the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid theory, originally applied to equilibrium homogeneous systems, which I extend here to nonequilibrium setups by incorporating the hydrodynamics of the low-temperature gas.
