Scaling phenomena driven by inhomogeneous conditions at first-order quantum transitions

Massimo Campostrini, Jacopo Nespolo, Andrea Pelissetto +1

We investigate the effects of smooth inhomogeneities at first-order quantum transitions (FOQT), such as those arising from the presence of a space-dependent external field, which s…

Finite-size scaling at the first-order quantum transitions of quantum Potts chains

Massimo Campostrini, Jacopo Nespolo, Andrea Pelissetto +1

We investigate finite-size effects in quantum systems at first-order quantum transitions. For this purpose we consider the one-dimensional q-state Potts models which undergo a firs…

Stationary states in a free fermionic chain from the Quench Action Method

Andrea De Luca, Gabriele Martelloni, Jacopo Viti

We employ the Quench Action Method (QAM) for a recently considered geometrical quantum quench: two free fermionic chains initially at different temperatures are joined together in…

Finite temperature entanglement negativity in conformal field theory

Pasquale Calabrese, John Cardy, Erik Tonni

We consider the logarithmic negativity of a finite interval embedded in an infinite one dimensional system at finite temperature. We focus on conformal invariant systems and we sho…

Recursive formulas for the overlaps between Bethe states and product states in XXZ Heisenberg chains

Lorenzo Piroli, Pasquale Calabrese

We consider the problem of computing the overlaps between the Bethe states of the XXZ spin-1/2 chain and generic states. We derive recursive formulas for the overlaps between some…

Stationary entropies after a quench from excited states in the Ising chain

Márton Kormos, Leda Bucciantini, Pasquale Calabrese

We consider the asymptotic state after a sudden quench of the magnetic field in the transverse field quantum Ising chain starting from excited states of the pre-quench Hamiltonian.…

From the sine-Gordon field theory to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang growth equation

Pasquale Calabrese, Marton Kormos, Pierre Le Doussal

We unveil a remarkable connection between the sine-Gordon quantum field theory and the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) growth equation. We find that the non-relativistic limit of the two…

Finite-size scaling at first-order quantum transitions

Massimo Campostrini, Jacopo Nespolo, Andrea Pelissetto +1

We study finite-size effects at first-order quantum transitions (FOQTs). We show that the low-energy properties show a finite-size scaling (FSS) behavior, the relevant scaling vari…

Quench echo and work statistics in integrable quantum field theories

Tamas Palmai, Spyros Sotiriadis

We propose a boundary thermodynamic Bethe ansatz calculation technique to obtain the Loschmidt echo and the statistics of the work done when a global quantum quench is performed on…

Validity of the GGE for quantum quenches from interacting to noninteracting models

Spyros Sotiriadis, Pasquale Calabrese

In the majority of the analytical verifications of the conjecture that the Generalised Gibbs Ensemble describes the large time asymptotics of local observables in quantum quench pr…

Universal scaling effects of a temperature gradient at first-order transitions

Claudio Bonati, Massimo D'Elia, Ettore Vicari

We study the effects of smooth inhomogeneities at first-order transitions. We show that a temperature gradient at a thermally-driven first-order transition gives rise to nontrivial…

The XYZ chain with Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interactions: from spin-orbit-coupled lattice bosons to interacting Kitaev chains

Sebastiano Peotta, Leonardo Mazza, Ettore Vicari +3

Using the density-matrix renormalization-group algorithm (DMRG) and a finite-size scaling analysis, we study the properties of the one-dimensional completely-anisotropic spin-1/2 X…

Quantum quench from a thermal tensor state: boundary effects and generalized Gibbs ensemble

Mario Collura, Dragi Karevski

We consider a quantum quench in a non-interacting fermionic one-dimensional field-theory. The system of size is initially prepared into two halves () an…

Quantum quenches from excited states in the Ising chain

Leda Bucciantini, Márton Kormos, Pasquale Calabrese

We consider the non-equilibrium dynamics after a sudden quench of the magnetic field in the transverse field Ising chain starting from excited states of the pre-quench Hamiltonian.…

Finite-size scaling at quantum transitions

Massimo Campostrini, Andrea Pelissetto, Ettore Vicari

We develop the finite-size scaling (FSS) theory at quantum transitions, considering generic boundary conditions, such as open and periodic boundary conditions, and also the correct…

The Peierls argument for higher dimensional Ising models

Claudio Bonati

The Peierls argument is a mathematically rigorous and intuitive method to show the presence of a non-vanishing spontaneous magnetization in some lattice models. This argument is ty…
