We review recent theoretical work on two closely related issues: excitation of an isolated
quantum condensed matter system driven adiabatically across a continuous quantum phase …

Quantum quenches in Chern insulators

MD Caio, NR Cooper, MJ Bhaseen - Physical review letters, 2015 - APS
We explore the nonequilibrium response of Chern insulators. Focusing on the Haldane
model, we study the dynamics induced by quantum quenches between topological and …

Slow quenches in a quantum Ising chain: Dynamical phase transitions and topology

S Sharma, U Divakaran, A Polkovnikov, A Dutta - Physical Review B, 2016 - APS
We study the slow quenching dynamics (characterized by an inverse rate τ− 1) of a one-
dimensional transverse Ising chain with nearest neighbor ferromagentic interactions across …

Quenches and dynamical phase transitions in a nonintegrable quantum Ising model

S Sharma, S Suzuki, A Dutta - Physical Review B, 2015 - APS
We study quenching dynamics of a one-dimensional transverse Ising chain with nearest
neighbor antiferromagnetic interactions in the presence of a longitudinal field which renders …

Space and time renormalization in phase transition dynamics

A Francuz, J Dziarmaga, B Gardas, WH Zurek - Physical Review B, 2016 - APS
When a system is driven across a quantum critical point at a constant rate, its evolution must
become nonadiabatic as the relaxation time τ diverges at the critical point. According to the …

Quench dynamics near a quantum critical point: Application to the sine-Gordon model

C De Grandi, V Gritsev, A Polkovnikov - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter …, 2010 - APS
We discuss the quench dynamics near a quantum critical point focusing on the sine-Gordon
model as a primary example. We suggest a unified approach to sudden and slow quenches …

Kibble-Zurek behavior in one-dimensional disordered topological insulators

Z Sun, M Deng, F Li - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
The discovery of nonlocal order parameters in real space provides a feasible scheme for
studying dynamical critical behavior in topological systems. We study the critical phenomena …

Tuning the presence of dynamical phase transitions in a generalized spin chain

U Divakaran, S Sharma, A Dutta - Physical Review E, 2016 - APS
We study an integrable spin chain with three spin interactions and the staggered field (λ)
while the latter is quenched either slowly [in a linear fashion in time (t) as t/τ, where t goes …
