Description

The non-equilibrium dynamics of closed non-disordered quantum systems can be significantly affected by the presence of constraints. While equilibration generally takes place in these systems, it is often severely slowed down by a separation of timescales leading to pronounced metastability. Considering the triangular lattice quantum dimer model, we report on the existence of several relaxing regimes when interactions dominate over kinetic energy. We show that multiple metastable regimes can be accessed by varying the relative interaction strength between the six different flippable plaquette arrangements.
