dc.descriptionWe report the first large scale numerical study of the dynamics of the second order phase transition of a U(1) $λϕ^4$ theory in three spatial dimensions. The transition is induced by a time-dependent temperature drop in the heat bath to which the fields are coupled. We present a detailed account of the dynamics of the fields and vortex string formation as a function of the quench rate. The results are found in good agreement to the theory of defect formation proposed by Kibble and Zurek.
