Dynamical Quantum Phase Transition Without An Order Parameter

Abstract

Short-time dynamics of many-body systems may exhibit non-analytical behavior of the systems' properties at particular times, thus dubbed dynamical quantum phase transition. Simulations showed that in the presence of disorder new critical times appear in the quench evolution of the Ising model. We study the physics behind these new critical times. We discuss the spectral features of the Ising model responsible for the disorder-induced phase transitions. We found the critical value of the disorder sufficient to induce the dynamical phase transition as a function of the number of spins. Most importantly, we argue that this dynamical phase transition while non-topological lacks a local order parameter.
