• Abstract: Global quenches of quantum many-body models can give rise to periodic dynamical quantum phase transitions (DQPTs) directly connected to the zeros of a Landau order parameter (OP). The associated dynamics has been argued to bear close resemblance to Rabi oscillations characteristic of two-level systems. Here, we address the question of whether this DQPT behavior is merely a manifestation of the limit of an effective two-level system or if it can arise as part of a more complex dynamics. We focus on quantum many-body scarring as a useful toy model allowing us to naturally study state transfer in an otherwise chaotic system. We find that a DQPT signals a change in the dominant contribution to the wave function in the degenerate initial-state manifold, with a direct relation to an OP zero only in the special case of occurring at the midpoint of an evenly degenerate manifold. Our work generalizes previous results and reveals that, in general, periodic DQPTs comprise complex many-body dynamics fundamentally beyond that of two-level systems.

  How the property of quantum many-body system especially the phase transition will be affected by the non-hermiticity remains unclear. We show that there is a continuous phase transition induced by the non-hermiticity in QCP. We observe that the order parameter and susceptibility display infinitely even for finite size system, since non-hermiticity endows universality many-body system with different singular behaviour from classical phase transition.

We consider protocols where one relevant parameter w is slowly changed across its critical point wc = 0, linearly in time with a large time scale ts.

• Dynamical Topological Quantum Phase Transitions at Criticality [0.0]
  We contribute to expanding the systematic understanding of the interrelation between the equilibrium quantum phase transition and the dynamical quantum phase transition (DQPT) Specifically, we find that dynamical quantum phase transition relies on the existence of massless it propagating quasiparticles as signaled by their impact on the Loschmidt overlap. The underlying two dimensional model reveals gapless modes, which do not couple to the dynamical quantum phase transitions, while relevant massless quasiparticles present periodic nonanalytic signatures on the Loschmidt amplitude.

• Finite-component dynamical quantum phase transitions [0.0]
  We show two types of dynamical quantum phase transitions (DQPTs) in a quantum Rabi model. One refers to distinct phases according to long-time averaged order parameters, the other is focused on the non-analytical behavior emerging in the rate function of the Loschmidt echo. We find the critical times at which the rate function becomes non-analytical, showing its associated critical exponent as well as the corrections introduced by a finite frequency ratio.
