• Title: Quantum Kibble-Zurek mechanism: Kink correlations after a quench in the quantum Ising chain
• Authors: Rados{\l}aw J. Nowak and Jacek Dziarmaga
• Abstract summary: We calculate a connected kink-kink correlator in the final state at zero transverse field. A linear ramp is halted in the ferromagnetic phase for a finite waiting time and then continued at the same rate as before. The same dephasing can be obtained with a smooth ramp that slows down in the ferromagnetic phase.

• Abstract: The transverse field in the quantum Ising chain is linearly ramped from the para- to the ferromagnetic phase across the quantum critical point at a rate characterized by a quench time $\tau_Q$. We calculate a connected kink-kink correlator in the final state at zero transverse field. The correlator is a sum of two terms: a negative (anti-bunching) Gaussian that depends on the Kibble-Zurek (KZ) correlation length only and a positive term that depends on a second longer scale of length. The second length is made longer by dephasing of the state excited near the critical point during the following ramp across the ferromagnetic phase. This interpretation is corroborated by considering a linear ramp that is halted in the ferromagnetic phase for a finite waiting time and then continued at the same rate as before the halt. The extra time available for dephasing increases the second scale of length that asymptotically grows linearly with the waiting time. The dephasing also suppresses magnitude of the second term making it negligible for waiting times much longer than $\tau_Q$. The same dephasing can be obtained with a smooth ramp that slows down in the ferromagnetic phase. Assuming sufficient dephasing we obtain also higher order kink correlators and the ferromagnetic correlation function.

  We propose an interferometric method to probe pair correlations in a gas of spin-1/2 fermions. The method consists of a Ramsey sequence where both spin states of the Fermi gas are set in a superposition of a state at rest and a state with a large recoil velocity. The off-diagonal long-range order is directly reflected in the behavior of the interferometric signal for long interrogation times.

  Linear quench of the transverse field drives the quantum Ising chain across a quantum critical point from the paramagnetic to the ferromagnetic phase. We focus on normal and anomalous quadratic correlators between fermionic kink creation and operators. Additional slowing down of the ramp in the ferromagnetic phase further increases the dephasing length and suppresses the anomalous correlator.

• Dynamical quantum phase transition in a bosonic system with long-range interactions [0.0]
  We show that the emergence of a dynamical quantum phase transition hinges on the generation of a finite mass gap following the quench. In general, we can define two distinct dynamical phases characterized by the finiteness of the post-quench mass gap. The Loschmidt echo exhibits periodical nonanalytic cusps whenever the initial state has a vanishing mass gap and the final state has a finite mass gap.
