Scaling behaviour of the relaxation in quantum chains
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the nonequilibrium time evolution of the transverse magnetization in the critical Ising and XX quantum chains. For some inhomogeneously magnetized initial states we derive analytically the transverse magnetization profiles and show that they evolve into scaling forms in the long-time limit. In particular it is seen that the Ising chain exhibits some similarities with the conserved dynamics XX chain. That is, after a transient regime, the total residual magnetization in the transverse direction is also conserved in the Ising case. A class of general initial states is also considered.

An investigation on the possibility of use of chlorophyll fluorescence to study the stomatal behaviour in plants under drought stress
Stomata play a key role in the control of plant water relations and photosynthesis. A rapid non-destructive method to study the stomatal behaviour in aerial parts of plants is important for researchers in plant sciences and agricultural fields. Stomata close in response to drought stress. Stomatal closure causes lower availability of CO2 inside the leaf and thus a decrease in the rate of carbox...
متن کاملNon-Periodic Ising Quantum Chains and Conformal Invariance
In a recent paper, Luck [1] investigated the critical behaviour of one-dimensional Ising quantum chains with couplings constants modulated according to general non-periodic sequences. In this short note, we take a closer look at the case where the sequences are obtained from (two-letter) substitution rules and at the consequences of Luck’s results at criticality. They imply that only for a cert...
متن کاملDynamics of entangled quantum optical system in independent media
We study the dynamics of two three-level atoms interacting with independent bosonic Lorentzian reservoirs at zero temperature. Such systems can be created in far astronomical objects. Quantum mechanical behaviour of these particles can produce detectable effects on the spectroscopic identifications of these objects, if such behaviour remain stable during the interaction with their media. It is ...
متن کاملLog-periodic corrections to scaling: exact results for aperiodic Ising quantum chains
Log-periodic amplitudes of the surface magnetization are calculated analytically for two Ising quantum chains with aperiodic modulations of the couplings. The oscillating behaviour is linked to the discrete scale invariance of the perturbations. For the Fredholm sequence, the aperiodic modulation is marginal and the amplitudes are obtained as functions of the deviation from the critical point. ...
متن کاملScaling and front dynamics in Ising quantum chains
Abstract. We study the relaxation dynamics of a quantum Ising chain initially prepared in a product of canonical states corresponding each to an equilibrium state of part of the chain at a given temperature. We focus our attention on the transverse magnetization for which a general expression is given. Explicite results are given for the completely factorized initial state, corresponding to a s...
