Time-evolution and dynamical phase transitions at a critical time in a system of one dimensional bosons after a quantum quench

Abstract

A renormalization group approach is used to show that a one dimensional system of bosons subject to a lattice quench exhibits a finite-time dynamical phase transition where an order parameter within a light-cone increases as a non-analytic function of time after a critical time. Such a transition is also found for a simultaneous lattice and interaction quench where the effective scaling dimension of the lattice becomes time-dependent, crucially affecting the time-evolution of the system. Explicit results are presented for the time-evolution of the boson interaction parameter and the order parameter for the dynamical transition as well as for more general quenches.
