We establish the existence of a far-from-equilibrium attractor in weakly-coupled gauge theory undergoing one-dimensional Bjorken expansion. We demonstrate that the resulting far-from-equilibrium evolution is insensitive to certain features of the initial condition, including both the initial momentum-space anisotropy and initial occupancy. We find that this insensitivity extends beyond the energy-momentum tensor to the detailed form of the one-particle distribution function. Based on our results, we assess different procedures for reconstructing the full one-particle distribution function from the energy-momentum tensor along the attractor and discuss implications for the freeze-out procedure used in the phenomenological analysis of ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions.

  1. Onset of Bjorken Flow in Quantum Evolution of the Massive Schwinger Model

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the 1+1D massive Schwinger model, tensor network simulation of a localized excitation reveals Bjorken-like hydrodynamic flow for small fermion mass, but not for large mass.

  2. Attractor of hydrodynamic attractors

    nucl-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Second- and higher-order hydrodynamic attractors converge to the same universal curve before the Navier-Stokes limit, with the leading correction controlled only by second-order coefficients.

  3. Quantum thermalization of Quark-Gluon Plasma

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In a 1+1D Schwinger model, strong-coupling quark Wigner functions thermalize to quantum statistical averages, while weak-coupling scalar and axial components do not because of many-body scars, and the θ-vacuum angle c...

  4. Constraint on initial conditions of one-dimensional expanding fluids from nonlinear causality

    nucl-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Nonlinear causality constrains one-dimensional Bjorken-expanding viscous fluids to small inverse Reynolds numbers, giving minimum initial times of about 0.5 to 1 fm and maximum initial energy densities of about 5 to 3...
