Title: Kibble-Zurek Behavior in the Boundary-obstructed Phase Transitions
Authors: Menghua Deng, Zhoujian Sun, Fuxiang Li,
Abstract summary: We study the nonadiabatic dynamics of a two-dimensional topological insulator when the system is slowly quenched across the boundary-obstructed phase transition. We find that the number of excitations produced after the quench exhibits power-law scaling behaviors with the quench rate.

Abstract: We study the nonadiabatic dynamics of a two-dimensional higher-order topological insulator when the system is slowly quenched across the boundary-obstructed phase transition, which is characterized by edge band gap closing. We find that the number of excitations produced after the quench exhibits power-law scaling behaviors with the quench rate. Boundary conditions can drastically modify the scaling behaviors: The scaling exponent is found to be $\alpha=1/2$ for hybridized and fully open boundary conditions, and $\alpha=2$ for periodic boundary condition. We argue that the exponent $\alpha=1/2$ cannot be explained by the Kibble-Zurek mechanism unless we adopt an effective dimension $d^{\rm eff}=1$ instead of the real dimension $d=2$. For comparison, we also investigate the slow quench dynamics across the bulk-obstructed phase transitions and a single multicritical point, which obeys the Kibble-Zurek mechanism with dimension $d=2$.

Kibble-Zurek behavior in a topological phase transition with a quadratic band crossing [3.5964577257298522]
Kibble-Zurek (KZ) mechanism describes the scaling behavior when driving a system across a continuous symmetry-breaking transition. Previous studies have shown that the KZ-like scaling behavior also lies in the topological transitions in the Qi-Wu-Zhang model (2D) and the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model (1D)

Decoherence through Ancilla Anyon Reservoirs [0.0]
We take the critical boundary of the $2d$ toric code as an example. The intrinsic nonlocal nature of the anyons demands the strong and weak symmetry condition for the ordinary decoherence problem. We show that decoherence-analogues of Majorana zero modes are localized at the spatial interface of the relevant $e$ and $m$ anyon decoherence channels.

Scale-invariant phase transition of disordered bosons in one dimension [0.0]
disorder-induced quantum phase transition between superfluid and non-superfluid states of bosonic particles in one dimension is generally expected to be of the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) type. Here, we show that hard-core lattice bosons with integrable power-law hopping decaying with distance as $1/ralpha$ undergo a non-BKT continuous phase transition instead.

Decoherent Quench Dynamics across Quantum Phase Transitions [0.0]
We formulate decoherent dynamics induced by continuous quantum non-demolition measurements of the instantaneous Hamiltonian. We generalize the well-studied universal Kibble-Zurek behavior for linear temporal drive across the critical point. We show that the freeze-out time scale can be probed from the relaxation of the Hall conductivity.

We investigate the nonequilibrium dynamics of the one-dimension Aubry-Andr'e-Harper model with $p$-wave superconductivity. We study the slow quench dynamics from localized phase to critical phase by linearly decreasing the potential strength $V$. We also study the sudden quench dynamics between three different phases: localized phase, critical phase, and extended phase.

Scattering data and bound states of a squeezed double-layer structure [77.34726150561087]
A structure composed of two parallel homogeneous layers is studied in the limit as their widths $l_j$ and $l_j$, and the distance between them $r$ shrinks to zero simultaneously. The existence of non-trivial bound states is proven in the squeezing limit, including the particular example of the squeezed potential in the form of the derivative of Dirac's delta function. The scenario how a single bound state survives in the squeezed system from a finite number of bound states in the finite system is described in detail.

Anisotropy-mediated reentrant localization [62.997667081978825]
We consider a 2d dipolar system, $d=2$, with the generalized dipole-dipole interaction $sim r-a$, and the power $a$ controlled experimentally in trapped-ion or Rydberg-atom systems. We show that the spatially homogeneous tilt $beta$ of the dipoles giving rise to the anisotropic dipole exchange leads to the non-trivial reentrant localization beyond the locator expansion.
