Two different frequencies (ΩJ<ΩU) dominate the order parameter dynamics. In the weak coupling phase, ΩJ follows twice the asymptotic average value of the gap (ΩJ≈2Δ∞) and ΩU is much larger but hardy visible in the anomalous density. At long times the BCS dynamics is recovered but surprisingly differences remain during the transient phase.

Both ΩJ and ΩU give rise to a complex structure of self-driven slow Rabi oscillations which are visible in the nonequilibrium optical conductivity where also sidebands appear due to the modulation of the double occupancy by superconducting amplitude oscillations.

According to Goldstone's theorem, this breaking of a continuous symmetry establishes the existence of the Bogoliubov phase mode while the gauge-invariant response also includes the amplitude fluctuations of the order parameter. The latter, which are also termed 'Higgs' modes in analogy with the standard model, appear at the energy of the spectral gap 2Δ, when the superconducting ground state is evaluated within the weak-coupling BCS theory, and, therefore, are damped. Previously, we have shown that, within the time-dependent Gutzwiller approximation (TDGA), Higgs modes appear inside the gap with a finite binding energy relative to the quasiparticle continuum. Here, we show that the binding energy of the Higgs mode becomes exponentially small in the weak-coupling limit converging to the BCS solution. On the other hand, well-defined undamped amplitude modes exist in strongly coupled superconductors when the interaction energy becomes of the order of the bandwidth.}, language = {en} } @misc{LorenzanaSeibold, author = {Lorenzana, Jose and Seibold, G{\"o}tz}, title = {Long-Lived Higgs Modes in Strongly Correlated Condensates}, series = {Physical Review Letters}, volume = {132}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, number = {2}, issn = {0031-9007}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.132.026501}, pages = {026501-1 -- 026501-8}, abstract = {We investigate order parameter fluctuations in the Hubbard model within a time-dependent Gutzwiller approach. While in the weak coupling limit we find that the amplitude fluctuations are short-lived due to a degeneracy with the energy of the edge of the quasiparticle continua (and in agreement with Hartree-Fock+RPA theory), these are shifted below the edge upon increasing the interaction. Our calculations therefore predict undamped amplitude (Higgs) oscillations of the order parameter in strongly coupled superconductors, cold atomic fermion condensates, and strongly interacting charge- and spin-density wave systems. We propose an experimental realization for the detection of the spin-type Higgs mode in undoped cuprates and related materials where, due to the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction, it can couple to an out-of-plane ferromagnetic excitation that is visible via the Faraday effect.}, language = {en} }
