Abstract:

We show that, at low temperatures (T<0.2 K), Copper-pairs undergoing localization transition become decoupled from the host-material phonons. This allows us to experimentally study an interacting, many-body, quantum system far from equilibrium. We found that our system exhibits complex dynamics alongside a new second-order phase transition.
