• Authors: T. Mas{\l}owski and N. Sedlmayr
• Abstract summary: Dynamical quantum phase transitions occur in quantum systems when non-analyticities occur at critical times in the return rate. We consider a minimal model which encompasses all possible forms of higher order topology in two dimensional topological band structures. We find that DQPTs can still occur, and can occur for quenches which cross both bulk and boundary gap closings.

• Abstract: Dynamical quantum phase transitions occur in dynamically evolving quantum systems when non-analyticities occur at critical times in the return rate, a dynamical analogue of the free energy. This extension of the concept of phase transitions can be brought into contact with another, namely that of topological phase transitions in which the phase transition is marked by a change in a topological invariant. Following a quantum quench dynamical quantum phase transitions can happen in topological matter, a fact which has already been explored in one dimensional topological insulators and in two dimensional Chern insulators. Additionally in one dimensional systems a dynamical bulk boundary correspondence has been seen, related to the periodic appearance of zero modes of the Loschmidt echo itself. Here we extend both of these concepts to two dimensional higher order topological matter, in which the topologically protected boundary modes are corner modes. We consider a minimal model which encompasses all possible forms of higher order topology in two dimensional topological band structures. We find that DQPTs can still occur, and can occur for quenches which cross both bulk and boundary gap closings. Furthermore a dynamical bulk boundary correspondence is also found, which takes a different form to that in one dimension.

• Complex dynamics approach to dynamical quantum phase transitions: the Potts model [0.0]
  This paper introduces complex dynamics methods to study dynamical quantum phase transitions in the one- and two-dimensional quantum 3-state Potts model. We show that special boundary conditions can alter the nature of the transitions, and verify the claim for the one-dimensional system by transfer matrix calculations. Our approach can be extended to multi-variable problems, higher dimensions, and approximate RG transformations expressed as rational functions.

We observe that the entanglement phase transitions occurring in the stationary state have the same nature as that occurring in the vacuum of the non-hermitian Hamiltonian.

  An exactly solvable Kitaev model in a two-dimensional square lattice exhibits a topological quantum phase transition. We show that features of the dynamical state, such as Loschmidt echo, time-averaged multipartite entanglement, can determine whether the initial state belongs to the topological phase or not.

• Entanglement and precession in two-dimensional dynamical quantum phase transitions [0.0]
  We extend and investigate the notion of p- and eDQPTs in two-dimensional systems by considering semi-infinite ladders of varying width. For square lattices, we find that pDQPTs and eDQPTs persist and are characterized by similar phenomenology as in 1D. We also demonstrate that lattices with odd number of nearest neighbors give rise to phenomenologies beyond the one-dimensional classification.

• 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.
