Abstract

Motivated by recent research achievement of quantum interacting systems in non-equilibrium, we consider a Luttinger model with a suddenly switched-on interaction proposed by Cazalilla [M.A. Cazalilla, Phys. Rev. Lett. 97 (2006) 156403 ]. In order to compare with real systems, we extend Cazalilla's scenario to the spinful system. To find the influence of initial states on the time evolution of some non-equilibrium systems, we mainly focus on the density-density propagator. By comparison and analysis, we discover the different behavior of this non-equilibrium system. Further, it is found that the propagator saves strong memory of initial state, and the effects of right-left interaction cancel out in total density-density propagator.

Spin-charge Separation of the Luttinger Model after an Interaction Quench

Zhou Zong-Li, Guoshun Zhang, Ping Lou

A Luttinger model of spin-½ fermions is considered after the interaction is suddenly switched on at time t = 0. By means of the bosonization technique, we evaluate analytically the one-particle correlation functions in detail, mainly involving equal-time correlations and propagators. The critical exponent which governs the power-law behavior of equal-time correlations for this spinful non-equilibrium system is obtained. In comparison with the published results, the difference between critical exponents of correlations in spinful and spinless non-equilibrium systems is found and explained. Furthermore, it is found that the propagator exhibits different power-law behavior from other equal-time correlations in this non-equilibrium system.

Out-of-equilibrium density dynamics of a spinful Luttinger liquid

Filippo Maria Gambetta, S. Porta

Using a Luttinger liquid theory we investigate the time evolution of the particle density of a one-dimensional spinful fermionic system with open boundaries and subject to a finite-duration quench of the inter-particle interaction. Taking into account also the turning on of an umklapp perturbation to the system Hamiltonian as a result of the quench, we study the possible formation of a Wigner molecule inside the system, focusing in particular on the sudden and adiabatic regimes. We show that the creation of this correlated state is essentially due to the propagation of "light-cone" perturbations through system which arise after both switching on and switching off the quenching protocol and that its behavior strongly depends on the quench duration.

Time-Dependent Evolution of Two Coupled Luttinger Models of Spin-1/2 Fermions

Zhou Zong-Li, Ping Lou

Based on the field-theoretical bosonization we consider the spinful system consisting of two disconnected Luttinger liquids, which are coupled at time t = 0 through chiral density-density interactions. We show the well-known spin-charge separation in this 1D system by means of bosonization and Bogoliubov transformation. To evaluate analytically the one-particle equal-time correlation functions, Cazalilla's methods are extended to spin-charge sectors. It is found that in long time limit the behavior of correlations does not coincide with that of equilibrium equal-time correlations of two coupled spinful Luttinger liquids. In order to compare with experimental results, the improved exponent that governs the power-law behavior of equal-time correlations of the non-equilibrium system is obtained at the end of this work.

Interacting fermions and non-equilibrium properties of one-dimensional many-body systems

Per Moosavi

Recent experimental progress on ultracold atomic gases have opened up the possibility to simulate many-body systems out of equilibrium. We consider such a system described by the Luttinger model, which is a model of interacting fermions in one spatial dimension. It is well known that the Luttinger model is exactly solvable using bosonization. This also remains true for certain extensions of the model, e.g., where, in addition, the fermions are coupled to phonons. We give a self-contained account of bosonization, together with complete proofs, and show how this can be used to solve the Luttinger model and the above fermion-phonon model rigorously. The main focus is on non-equilibrium properties of the Luttinger model. We use the exact solution of the Luttinger model, with non-local interactions, to study the evolution starting from a non-uniform initial state with a position-dependent chemical potential. The system is shown to reach a current-carrying final steady state, in which the universal value of the electrical conductance, known from near-to-equilibrium settings, is recovered. We also study the effects of suddenly changing the interactions and show that the final state has memory of the initial state, which is, e.g., manifested by non- equilibrium exponents in its fermion two-point correlation functions.

On non-equilibrium dynamics in low-dimensional strongly correlated quantum systems

Benedikt Schoenauer

In this work, we study the non-equilibrium dynamics of low-dimensional strongly correlated quantum systems, which in our case are generated by sudden and time-dependent quantum quenches. Such non-equilibrium dynamics are a particularly difficult problem, because the time evolution of the initial many-body quantum state, which is governed by the post-quench Hamiltonian, is highly non-trivial. On top of that, applying an operator to this many-body quantum state in order to calculate its expectation values, typically creates an intricate set of excitations. Throughout the thesis, we furthermore contrast the results that we have obtained using exact numerical methods for two microscopic models, namely the Heisenberg and Fermi-Hubbard chains, with results derived from the Luttinger liquid theory, which, in equilibrium, describes the universal behavior of the two models.In the second part of the thesis, we reduce the dimensionality even further and employ complementary numerical and analytical tools to examine the unusual non-equilibrium behavior of a ring-shaped quantum impurity hosting interacting spin-less fermions.

Out-of-equilibrium density dynamics of a quenched fermionic system

S. Porta, Filippo Maria Gambetta, Fabio Cavaliere +2 more

Using a Luttinger liquid theory we investigate the time evolution of the particle density of a one-dimensional fermionic system with open boundaries and subject to a finite duration quench of the interparticle interaction. We provide analytical and asymptotic solutions to the unitary time evolution of the system, showing that both switching on and switching off the quench ramp create light-cone perturbations in the density. The post-quench dynamics is strongly affected by the interference between these two perturbations. In particular, we find that the discrepancy between the time-dependent density and the one obtained by a generalized Gibbs ensemble picture vanishes with an oscillatory behavior as a function of the quench duration, with local minima corresponding to a perfect overlap of the two light-cone perturbations. For adiabatic quenches, we also obtain a similar behavior in the approach of the generalized Gibbs ensemble density towards the one associated with the ground state of the final Hamiltonian.
