    "abstract": "We study quantum particles at zero temperature in an optical lattice coupled\nto a resonant cavity mode. The cavity field substantially modifies the particle\ndynamics in the lattice, and for strong particle-field coupling leads to a\nquantum phase with only every second site occupied. We study the growth of this\nnew order out of a homogeneous initial distribution for few particles as the\nmicroscopic physics underlying a quantum phase transition. Simulations reveal\nthat the growth dynamics crucially depends on the initial quantum many-body\nstate of the particles and can be monitored via the cavity fluorescence.\nStudying the relaxation time of the ordering reveals inhibited tunnelling,\nwhich indicates that the effective mass of the particles is increased by the\ninteraction with the cavity field. However, the relaxation becomes very quick\nfor large coupling.",
