• Authors: Takayuki Suzuki, Kaito Iwamura
• Abstract summary: We consider the time-dependent transverse field Ising chain with time-periodic perturbations. Without perturbations, this model obeys the scaling in the adiabatic limit predicted by the quantum Kibble-Zurek mechanism. We analytically analyze the density of defects in the model and discuss how much the oscillations affect the scaling.

• Abstract: We consider the time-dependent transverse field Ising chain with time-periodic perturbations. Without perturbations, this model is one of the famous models that obeys the scaling in the adiabatic limit predicted by the quantum Kibble-Zurek mechanism (QKZM). However, it is known that when oscillations are added to the system, the non-perturbative contribution becomes larger and the scaling may break down even if the perturbation is small. Therefore, we analytically analyze the density of defects in the model and discuss how much the oscillations affect the scaling. As a result, although the non-perturbative contribution does not become zero in the adiabatic limit, the scaling does not change from the prediction of the QKZM. This indicates that the QKZM is robust to the perturbations.

  Prominent frameworks propose a continuous, spontaneous measurement of the mass density field of quantized matter. We show that this mechanism could link both models - not just DP - to fundamental uncertainties in Newtonian gravity. We calculate the ultimate limit on time uncertainty and demonstrate that the resulting clock-time uncertainty remains negligible for all contemporary time-keeping devices.

We quantify the volume effects for various $1+1$D Minkowski-signature quantities and show that these can be a significant source of systematic uncertainty.
