Inhomogeneous Quantum Quenches
We study the problem of a quantum quench in which the initial state is the ground state of an inhomogeneous hamiltonian, in two different models, conformal field theory and ordinary free field theory, which are known to exhibit thermalisation of finite regions in the homogeneous case. We derive general expressions for the evolution of the energy flow and correlation functions, as well as the en...
متن کاملQuantum Quenches in Chern Insulators.
We explore the nonequilibrium response of Chern insulators. Focusing on the Haldane model, we study the dynamics induced by quantum quenches between topological and nontopological phases. A notable feature is that the Chern number, calculated for an infinite system, is unchanged under the dynamics following such a quench. However, in finite geometries, the initial and final Hamiltonians are dis...
متن کاملQuantum quenches and competing orders
Abstract We study the non-equlibrium dynamics of an electronic model of competition between an unconventional charge density wave (a bond density wave) and d-wave superconductivity. In a time-dependent HartreeFock+BCS approximation, the dynamics reduces to the equations of motion of operators realizing the generators of SU(4) at each pair of momenta, (k, k), in the Brillouin zone. We also study...
متن کاملMeasuring entanglement using quantum quenches.
We show that block entanglement entropies in one-dimensional systems close to a quantum critical point can, in principle, be measured in terms of the population of low-lying energy levels following a certain type of local quantum quench.
متن کاملQuantum quenches in a spinor condensate.
We discuss the ordering of a spin-1 condensate when quenched from its paramagnetic phase to its ferromagnetic phase by reducing the magnetic field. We first elucidate the nature of the equilibrium quantum phase transition. Quenching rapidly through this transition reveals XY ordering either at a specific wave vector, or the "light-cone" correlations familiar from relativistic theories, dependin...
