Quench dynamics and zero-energy modes: The case of the Creutz model

R Jafari, H Johannesson, A Langari… - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
In most lattice models, the closing of a band gap typically occurs at high-symmetry points in
the Brillouin zone. Differently, in the Creutz model—describing a system of spinless fermions …

Topological classification of dynamical quantum phase transitions in the xy chain
