Query: Tuning the relaxation dynamics of ultracold atoms with an optical cavity   We investigate the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of ultracold atoms trapped in
an optical lattice and loaded into an optical resonator that is driven
transversely. We derive an effective quantum master equation for weak
atom-light coupling that can be brought into Lindblad form both in the bad and
good cavity limits. In the so-called bad cavity regime, we find that the steady
state is always that of infinite temperature, but that the relaxation dynamics
can be highly non-trivial. For small hopping, the interplay between dissipation
and strong interactions generally leads to anomalous diffusion in the space of
atomic configurations. However, for a fine-tuned ratio of cavity-mediated and
on-site interactions, we discover a limit featuring normal diffusion. In
contrast, for large hopping and vanishing on-site interactions, the system can
be described by a linear rate equation leading to an exponential approach of
the infinite-temperature steady state. Finally, in the good cavity regime, we
show that for vanishing on-site interactions, the system allows for optical
pumping between momentum mode pairs enabling cavity cooling.
