Abstract

We study the Kibble–Zurek scaling dynamics and universal second order phase transitions in a relativistic scalar field theory in 1 + 1 dimensions. Using tensor networks techniques as a non-perturbative non-equilibrium numerical tool for quantum field theory, we perform an analysis of the formation of topological defects in a non-equilibrium quantum system, as a realistic analogue toy model of the formation of cosmological defects in the large-scale structure of the Early Universe.
