Data for: Observing dynamical phases of BCS superconductors in a cavity QED simulator

In conventional Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) superconductors, electrons with opposite momenta bind into Cooper pairs due to an attractive interaction mediated by phonons in the material. While superconductivity naturally emerges at thermal equilibrium, it can also emerge out of equilibrium when the system's parameters are abruptly changed. The resulting out-of-equilibrium phases are predicted to occur in real materials and ultracold fermionic atoms but have not yet all been directly observed. Here we realise an alternate way to generate the proposed dynamical phases using cavity quantum electrodynamics (cavity QED). Our system encodes the presence or absence of a Cooper pair in a long-lived electronic transition in 88Sr atoms coupled to an optical cavity and represents interactions between electrons as photon-mediated interactions through the cavity. To fully explore the phase diagram, we manipulate the ratio between the single-particle dispersion and the interactions after a quench ..., , , # Data for: Observing Dynamical Phases of BCS Superconductors in a Cavity QED Simulator

This repository contains the data (both experimental and from simulations) plotted in the associated manuscript.

## Description of the data and file structure

Files are named according to the following naming convention: `[ASSOCIATED FIGURE]_[DATA SOURCE]_[DESCRIPTION OF DATA].csv`. See the explanation below:

* `[ASSOCIATED FIGURE]` references the figure of the manuscript where the data is plotted. This repository contains data from `fig2`, `fig3`, `fig4`, and `figed4`, which are the four figures containing experimental data. All of these figures contain sub-panels which are labeled alphabetically. For example, data from Fig. 3, panel f is referenced by `fig3f`.
* `[DATA SOURCE]` specifies whether the data is derived from raw experimental data (`expt`) or from theoretical simulations (`simideal` or `simfull`). Not...
