Quantum 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 کاملMeasuring Topological Number of a Chern-Insulator from Quench Dynamics
In this letter we address the issue that whether the topological number of a static Hamiltonian can be measured from a dynamical quench process. We focus on a two-band Chern insulator in twodimension, for instance, the Haldane model, whose quantum state is a pseudo-spin on the Bloch sphere. The dynamical process is described by a mapping from the [kx, ky, t] space to the Bloch sphere, character...

*Correspondence: [email protected] 1Fakultät für Physik, Universität Duisburg-Essen, Lotharstrasse 1, Duisburg, 47057, Germany Full list of author information is available at the end of the article Abstract We study a quantum quench in the Bose-Hubbard model where the tunneling rate J is suddenly switched from zero to a finite value in the Mott regime. In order to solve the many-b...

Vortex formation in two dimensions: When symmetry breaks, how big are the pieces?
We investigate the dynamics of second order phase transitions in two dimensions, breaking a gauged U(1) symmetry. Using numerical simulations, we show that the density of topological defects formed scales with the quench timescale τQ as n ∼ τ −1/2 Q when the dynamics is overdamped at the instant when the freezeout of thermal fluctuations takes place, and n ∼ τ Q in the underdamped case. This is...
