• Title: Escaping fronts in local quenches of a confining spin chain
• Authors: A. Krasznai, G. Takács,
• Abstract summary: Local quenches from initial states generated by a single spin-flip in either the true or the false vacuum state of the confining quantum Ising spin chain in ferromagnetic regime. For confining quenches built upon the true vacuum, the propagating signal consists of superpositions of left and right-moving mesons escaping confinement. For anti-confining quenches built upon the false vacuum it is composed of superpositions of left and right-moving bubbles which escape Wannier-Stark localisation.

• Abstract: We consider local quenches from initial states generated by a single spin-flip in either the true or the false vacuum state of the confining quantum Ising spin chain in the ferromagnetic regime. Contrary to global quenches, where the light-cone behaviour is strongly suppressed, we find a significant light-cone signal propagating with a nonzero velocity besides the expected localised oscillating component. Combining an analytic representation of the initial state with a numerical description of the relevant excitations using the two-fermion approximation, we can construct the spectrum of post-quench excitations and their overlaps with the initial state, identifying the underlying mechanism. For confining quenches built upon the true vacuum, the propagating signal consists of superpositions of left and right-moving mesons escaping confinement. In contrast, for anti-confining quenches built upon the false vacuum it is composed of superpositions of left and right-moving bubbles which escape Wannier-Stark localisation.

  We investigate quantum jumps occurring between macroscopic metastable states of light in the open driven Jaynes-Cummings model. We find that, in the limit of zero spontaneous emission considered in [H. J. Carmichael, Phys. Rev. X 5, 031028], the jumps from a high-photon state to the vacuum state entail two stages.

  We report a driven-dissipative mechanism to generate stationary entangled $W$ states among strongly-interacting quantum emitters placed within a cavity. The non-harmonic energy structure of the interacting ensemble allows this transition to be resonantly selected by the cavity. Evidence of this purely dissipative mechanism should be observable in state-of-the-art cavity QED systems in the solid-state.

  We show that the orientation of the angular momentum transferred from the laser field to the rotons, is dictated by the centrifuge. The observed decay of the coherent Raman signal suggests that the decoherence is governed by the scattering on thermal rotons and phonons.

  Signatures of localization have been observed in condensed matter and cold atomic systems. We propose a model of one-dimensional chain of non-interacting, spinless fermions coupled to a local ensemble of baths. We show that the steady state of the system undergoes a localization entanglement phase transition by tuning $p$ which remains stable in the presence of coherent hopping.

  We show that the Zitterbewegung effect manifests itself as a series of quantum beats of the particle density in the long-time limit. We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront. The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
