Relaxation dynamics of integrable field theories after a global quantum quench

Abstract

We apply the linked cluster expansion as well as the quench action approach to study the time evolution of one-point functions after a quantum quench in integrable field theories. We argue that the relaxation towards the stationary value fundamentally differs depending on the locality properties of the considered observable: while for local operators both exponential and power-law decaying terms are present in the dynamics, for semi-local operators the latter are absent. We explicitly confirm this for the Ising field theory, the sinh-Gordon model, and the repulsive sine-Gordon model.
