Spatially-resolved dynamics of the amplitude Schmid-Higgs mode in disordered superconductors

We investigate the spatially-resolved dynamics of the collective amplitude Schmid-Higgs (SH) mode in disordered Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) superconductors and fermionic superfluids. We identify cases where the long-time SH response is determined by a pole in the averaged SH susceptibility, located on the unphysical sheet of its Riemann surface. Using analytic continuation across the two-particle branch cut, we obtain the zero-temperature dispersion relation and damping rate of the SH mode linked to this pole. When the coherence length significantly exceeds the mean free path, the pole is ``hidden'' behind the two-particle continuum edge at 2△, leading to SH oscillations at late times decaying as 1/t^2 with frequency 2△. Nevertheless, the pole induces a peak in the retarded SH susceptibility at a frequency above 2△ and causes sub-diffusive oscillations with a dynamical exponent z=4 at both late times and long distances. Conversely, long-distance oscillations at a fixed frequency ω occur only for ω exceeding 2△, with a spatial period diverging at the threshold as 1/(ω - 2△)^{1/4}, up to logarithmic factors. When the coherence length is comparable to the mean free path, the pole can reemerge into the continuum, resulting in additional late-time oscillations at fixed wave vectors with frequencies above 2△.
