• Abstract: The conventional Kibble-Zurek mechanism (KZM) describes the driven critical dynamics in the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson (LGW) spontaneous symmetry-breaking phase transitions. However, whether the KZM is still applicable in the deconfined quantum criticality, which is beyond the LGW paradigm, has not been explored. In this paper, we study the driven critical dynamics near a one-dimensional incarnation of deconfined quantum critical point between a ferromagnetic (FM) phase and a valance-bond-solid (VBS) phase. By investigating the dependence of the density of the topological defects on the driving rate, we verify the KZM in this Landau-forbidden critical point. Moreover, we find that both the FM and the VBS order parameters satisfy the finite-time scaling in the whole driven process. The effects of the emergent symmetry in the nonequilibrium dynamics are also studied.
