Tag: Kibble-Zurek Mechanism (KZM)

Introduction The Kibble-Zurek Mechanism (KZM) is a theoretical framework in the field of non-equilibrium physics that aims to explain the emergence of topological defects during phase transitions. Proposed by Tom Kibble and Wojciech Zurek, the KZM explains how the universe behaves when transitioning from a high symmetry phase to a low symmetry phase, a phenomenon…
