Focus on out-of-equilibrium dynamics in strongly interacting one-dimensional systems

In the past few years, there have been significant advances in understanding out-of-equilibrium dynamics in strongly interacting many-particle quantum systems. This is the case for 1D dynamics, where experimental advances-both with ultracold atomic gases and with solid state systems-have been accompanied by advances in theoretical methods, both analytical and numerical. This 'focus on' collection brings together 17 new papers, which together give a representative overview of the recent advances.
