We study the non-equilibrium dynamics of bosons in a two-dimensional optical lattice after a sudden quench from the superfluid phase to the free-boson regime. The initial superfluid state is described approximately using both the Bogoliubov theory and the Gaussian variational principle. The subsequent time evolution remains Gaussian, and we compare the results from each approximation of the initial state by examining different aspects of the dynamics. First, we analyze the entanglement entropy and observe that, in both cases, it increases linearly with time before reaching a saturation point. This behavior is attributed to the propagation of entangled pairs of quantum depletions in the superfluid state. Next, we explore the fate of particle-number symmetry, which is spontaneously broken in the superfluid phase. To do so, we use the entanglement asymmetry, a recently introduced observable that enables us to track symmetry breaking within a subsystem. We observe that its evolution varies qualitatively depending on the theory used to describe the initial state. However, in both cases, the symmetry remains broken and is never restored in the stationary state. Finally, we assess the time it takes to reach the stationary state by evaluating the quantum fidelity between the stationary reduced density matrix and the time-evolved one. Interestingly, within the Gaussian variational principle, we find that an initial state further from the stationary state can relax more quickly than one closer to it, indicating the presence of the recently discovered quantum Mpemba effect. We derive the microscopic conditions necessary for this effect to occur and demonstrate that these conditions are never met in the Bogoliubov theory.

Entanglement Asymmetry in Random Quantum Automata
In random quantum automaton ensembles, the subsystem symmetrization scale depends on the initial state's participation entropy, and the onset of U(1) entanglement asymmetry coincides with the onset of subsystem coherence.

Quasiparticle Picture for Entanglement Hamiltonians in Higher Dimensions
For free fermion quenches in d≥2, the entanglement Hamiltonian at the ballistic scale is given by a quasiparticle-picture kernel built from the mode occupation function, extending the 1D result to higher dimensions.

Entanglement asymmetry in CFT with boundary symmetry breaking
For a (1+1)-dimensional CFT with a symmetry-breaking boundary, the entanglement asymmetry of an interval anchored at the boundary tends to log|G| with an algebraic correction whose exponent is twice the smallest bound...

Entanglement entropy dynamics of non-Gaussian states in free boson systems: Random sampling approach
A random sampling estimator for matrix permanents reduces the sample count for free-boson entanglement entropy from about 2^N to about 2^(0.2N), enabling dynamics for systems of order 100 sites.

Entanglement asymmetry and symmetry defects in boundary conformal field theory
For 2D CFTs with boundary-only symmetry breaking, the entanglement asymmetry is log|G| with power-law corrections for finite groups, (dim G/2) log log(ℓ/ε) for compact Lie groups, and it drops from log|G| to 0 at t=ℓ/...
