We simulate far-out-of-equilibrium dynamics in cuprate superconductors, such as YBCO, employing a semiclassical approach. Our approach combines relativistic c-field theory with a U(1) lattice gauge theory, resulting in a 3D lattice of intrinsic Josephson junctions. Our description includes dissipation and thermal fluctuations. It constitutes an extension of 1D sine-Gordon models, due to the inclusion of amplitude dynamics and of in-plane fluctuations. We implement a variety of driving protocols, which address the plasmonic or phononic degrees of freedom, and explore the resulting non-equilibrium scenarios. As a central example, we apply our method to transient phenomena induced in pump-probe protocols, and compare to observed phenomena. This work extends and builds on previous studies reported in [1,2], and has its main focus on the creation of metastable superconducting states.
