Dynamical quantum phase transitions: a review

M Heyl - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
Quantum theory provides an extensive framework for the description of the equilibrium
properties of quantum matter. Yet experiments in quantum simulators have now opened up …

Dynamical quantum phase transitions: A brief survey

M Heyl - Europhysics Letters, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
Nonequilibrium states of closed quantum many-body systems defy a thermodynamic
description. As a consequence, constraints such as the principle of equal a priori …

Simulating dynamic quantum phase transitions in photonic quantum walks

K Wang, X Qiu, L **ao, X Zhan, Z Bian, W Yi, P Xue - Physical review letters, 2019 - APS
Signaled by nonanalyticities in the time evolution of physical observables, dynamic quantum
phase transitions (DQPTs) emerge in quench dynamics of topological systems and possess …

(KDQ) as a tool to properly account for non-classical features in the context of condensed …

Dynamical quantum phase transitions in non-Hermitian lattices

L Zhou, Q Wang, H Wang, J Gong - Physical Review A, 2018 - APS
In closed quantum systems, dynamical phase transitions are identified by the nonanalytic
behavior of the return probability as a function of time. In this work, we study the nonunitary …

Mixed state dynamical quantum phase transitions

U Bhattacharya, S Bandyopadhyay, A Dutta - Physical Review B, 2017 - APS
Preparing an integrable system in a mixed state described by a thermal density matrix, we
subject it to a sudden quench and explore the subsequent unitary dynamics. To address the …

Floquet dynamical quantum phase transition in the extended XY model: Nonadiabatic to adiabatic topological transition

S Zamani, R Jafari, A Langari - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
We investigate both pure and mixed states Floquet dynamical quantum phase transition
(DQPT) in the periodically time-dependent extended XY model. We exactly show that the …

Dissipative Floquet dynamical quantum phase transition

J Naji, M Jafari, R Jafari, A Akbari - Physical Review A, 2022 - APS
Non-Hermitian Hamiltonians provide a simple picture for inspecting dissipative systems with
natural or induced gain and loss. We investigate the Floquet dynamical phase transition in …

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 …
