Abstract

In the framework of the matrix product states representation the eect of the single-ion anisotropy on the time evolution of the initial state after a sudden quench of the local magnetic eld has been investigated.The overlap of the initial and time-evolved states, so called the Loschmidt echo, magnetization proles and correlation functions are presented.

Dariusz Woźniak, A. Drzewiński, G. Kamieniarz

In the framework of the Matrix Product States representation the effect of a sudden quench of the uniaxial anisotropy on the time evolution of the Haldane state has been investigated.The existence of the non-vanishing string correlations in the limit of a large distance in the Haldane phase has been verified.The overlap of the initial and time-evolved states, the so-called Loschmidt echo, has been investigated.

Relaxation Dynamics in the Spin-1 Heisenberg Antiferromagnetic Chain after a Quantum Quench of the Uniaxial Anisotropy

Dariusz Woźniak, A. Drzewiński, G. Kamieniarz

In the framework of the matrix product state representation the effect of a sudden turning on of the uniaxial anisotropy on the time evolution of the Haldane state has been investigated.Depending on the value of the uniaxial anisotropy parameter, the calculations were derived within (or outside) the region where the Haldane gap survives.An exact expression for the time evolution of the Loschmidt echo has been derived and, moreover, its collapse and revival behaviour was captured.In addition, the non-local order parameter of a time evolving state was tracked, revealing two types of relaxations.

Overlap distributions for quantum quenches in the anisotropic Heisenberg chain

Paolo P Mazza, Jean-Marie Stéphan, Elena Canovi +3 more

Abstract The dynamics after a quantum quench is determined by the weights of the initial state in the eigenspectrum of the final Hamiltonian, i.e. by the distribution of overlaps in the energy spectrum. We present an analysis of such overlap distributions for quenches of the anisotropy parameter in the one-dimensional anisotropic spin-1/2 Heisenberg model (XXZ chain). We provide an overview of the form of the overlap distribution for quenches from various initial anisotropies to various final ones, using numerical exact diagonalization. We show that if the system is prepared in the antiferromagnetic Néel state (infinite anisotropy) and released into a non-interacting setup (zero anisotropy, XX point) only a small fraction of the final eigenstates gives contributions to the post-quench dynamics, and that these eigenstates have identical overlap magnitudes. We derive expressions for the overlaps, and present the selection rules that determine the final eigenstates having nonzero overlap. We use these results to derive concise expressions for time-dependent quantities (Loschmidt echo, longitudinal and transverse correlators) after the quench. We use perturbative analyses to understand the overlap distribution for quenches from infinite to small nonzero anisotropies, and for quenches from large to zero anisotropy.

Time evolution during and after finite-time quantum quenches in the transverse-field Ising chain

Tatjana Puškarov, Dirk Schuricht

We study the time evolution in the transverse-field Ising chain subject to quantum quenches of finite duration, ie, a continuous change in the transverse magnetic field over a finite time. Specifically, we consider the dynamics of the total energy, one- and two-point correlation functions and Loschmidt echo during and after the quench as well as their stationary behaviour at late times. We investigate how different quench protocols affect the dynamics and identify universal properties of the relaxation.

Transient Loschmidt echo in quenched Ising chains

Carla Lupo, Marco Schirò

We study the response to sudden local perturbations of highly excited quantum Ising spin chains. The key quantity encoding this response is the overlap between time-dependent wave functions, which we write as a transient Loschmidt Echo. Its asymptotics at long time differences contain crucial information about the structure of the highly excited nonequilibrium environment induced by the quench. We compute the echo perturbatively for a weak local quench but for arbitrarily large global quench, using a cumulant expansion. Our perturbative results suggest that the echo decays exponentially, rather than power law as in the low-energy orthogonality catastrophe, a further example of quench-induced decoherence already found in the case of quenched Luttinger liquids. The emerging decoherence scale is set by the strength of the local potential and the bulk excitation energy.
