 abstract = {We use a self-consistent strong-coupling expansion for the self-energy
(perturbation theory in the hopping) to describe the nonequilibrium
dynamics of strongly correlated lattice fermions. We study the
three-dimensional homogeneous Fermi-Hubbard model driven by an external
electric field showing that the damping of the ensuing Bloch
oscillations depends on the direction of the field and that for a broad
range of field strengths a long-lived transient prethermalized state
emerges. This long-lived transient regime implies that thermal
equilibrium may be out of reach of the time scales accessible in present
cold atom experiments but shows that an interesting new quasiuniversal
transient state exists in nonequilibrium governed by a thermalized
kinetic energy but not a thermalized potential energy. In addition, when
the field strength is equal in magnitude to the interaction between
atoms, the system undergoes a rapid thermalization, characterized by a
different quasiuniversal behavior of the current and spectral function
for different values of the hopping. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.109.260402},
