  Far-from-equilibrium dynamics of SU(2) gauge theory with Wilson fermions is
studied in 1+1 space-time dimensions using a real-time lattice approach.
Lattice improved Hamiltonians are shown to be very efficient in simulating
Schwinger pair creation and emergent phenomena such as plasma oscillations. As
a consequence, significantly smaller lattices can be employed to approach
continuum physics in the infinite-volume limit as compared to unimproved
implementations. This allows us to compute also higher-order correlation
functions including four fermion fields, which give unprecedented insights into
the real-time dynamics of the fragmentation process of strings between fermions
and antifermions.
