| description | Generalized hydrodynamics (GHD) is a recent theoretical approach that is becoming a go-to tool for characterizing out-of-equilibrium phenomena in integrable and near-integrable quantum many-body systems. Here, we benchmark its performance against an array of alternative theoretical methods, for an interacting one-dimensional Bose gas described by the Lieb-Liniger model. In particular, we study various quantum shock wave scenarios, along with a quantum Newton's cradle setup, for various interaction strengths and initial temperatures. We find that GHD generally performs very well at sufficiently high temperatures or strong interactions. For low temperatures and weak interactions, we highlight situations where GHD, while not capturing interference phenomena on short lengthscales, can describe a coarse-grained behavior based on convolution averaging that mimics finite imaging resolution in ultracold atom experiments. In a quantum Newton's cradle setup based on a double-well to a single-well trap quench, we find that GHD with diffusive corrections demonstrates excellent agreement with the predictions of a classical field approach. |
