Entanglement and thermodynamics after a quantum quench in integrable systems.
Entanglement and entropy are key concepts standing at the foundations of quantum and statistical mechanics. Recently, the study of quantum quenches revealed that these concepts are intricately intertwined. Although the unitary time evolution ensuing from a pure state maintains the system at zero entropy, local properties at long times are captured by a statistical ensemble with nonzero thermody...
متن کاملNon-equilibrium quantum dynamics after local quenches
We study the quantum dynamics resulting from preparing a onedimensional quantum system in the ground state of initially two decoupled parts which are then joined together (local quench). Specifically we focus on the transverse-field Ising chain and compute the time dependence of the magnetization profile, ml(t), and correlation functions at the critical point, in the ferromagnetically ordered p...
متن کاملQuench dynamics near a quantum critical point
We study the dynamical response of a system to a sudden change of the tuning parameter starting or ending at the quantum critical point. In particular, we analyze the scaling of the excitation probability, number of excited quasiparticles, heat and entropy with the quench amplitude, and the system size. We extend the analysis to quenches with arbitrary power law dependence on time of the tuning...
متن کاملQuenches and dynamical phase transitions in a non-integrable quantum Ising model
We study quenching dynamics of a one-dimensional transverse Ising chain with nearest neighbor antiferromagentic interactions in the presence of a longitudinal field which renders the model nonintegrable. The dynamics of the spin chain is studied following a slow (characterized by a rate) or sudden quenches of the longitudinal field; the residual energy, as obtained numerically using a t-DMRG sc...
متن کاملInhomogeneous 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...
