SUMMARY:Universal energy fluctuations in driven thermally isolated sys
 tems\, R. G. Herb Condensed Matter Seminar\, Anatoli Polkovnikov\, Bos
 ton University
DESCRIPTION:In this talk I will present two stories of emergent uivers
 ality in  thermally isolated driven systems. In the first I will show 
 how unitary dynamics constraints energy distribution in a repeatedly d
 riven thermally  isolated system (microwave setup). I will present gen
 eralized fluctuation relations and will show that they imply a dynamic
 al phase transition between  canonical like and wide regimes. In the s
 econd part of the talk\, if time permits\, I will discuss universal sc
 aling of energy\, entropy and defect generation for  quench dynamics t
 hrough quantum critical points. In particular\, I will show how quantu
 m Kibble-Zurek and other related scalings follow from the  adiabatic p
 erturbation theory.
