Nonthermal Melting of Néel Order in the Hubbard Model

We study the unitary time evolution of antiferromagnetic order in the Hubbard model after a quench starting from the perfect Néel state. In this setup, which is well suited for experiments with cold atoms, one can distinguish fundamentally different pathways for melting of long-range order at weak a...
