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 materials exhibit a wide array of exotic phenomena and practically useful
properties. A better understanding of these materials can provide deeper insights into …

We review the dynamics after quantum quenches in integrable quantum spin chains. We
give a pedagogical introduction to relaxation in isolated quantum systems, and discuss the …

We consider the time evolution of observables in the transverse-field Ising chain after a
sudden quench of the magnetic field. We provide exact analytical results for the asymptotic …

We review the imaginary time path integral approach to the quench dynamics of conformal
field theories. We show how this technique can be applied to the determination of the time …

Many-body localization is characterized by a slow logarithmic growth of the entanglement
entropy after a global quantum quench while the local memory of an initial density …

We consider quantum quenches in integrable models. We argue that the behavior of local
observables at late times after the quench is given by their expectation values with respect to …

We formulate a dynamical real space renormalization group (RG) approach to describe the
time evolution of a random spin-1/2 chain, or interacting fermions, initialized in a state with …

We consider the time evolution of order parameter correlation functions after a sudden
quantum quench of the magnetic field in the transverse field Ising chain. Using two novel …

We study quenches in integrable spin-1/2 chains in which we evolve the ground state of the
antiferromagnetic Ising model with the anisotropic Heisenberg Hamiltonian. For this …
