Scaling and front dynamics in Ising quantum chains

arXiv:cond-mat/0509594 · doi:10.1140/epjb/e2005-00402-2

Abstract

We study the relaxation dynamics of a quantum Ising chain initially prepared in a product of canonical states corresponding each to an equilibrium state of part of the chain at a given temperature. We focus our attention on the transverse magnetization for which a general expression is given. Explicite results are given for the completely factorized initial state, corresponding to a situation where all the spins are thermalized independently, and for the two-temperatures initial state, where part of the chain called the system is thermalized at a temperature and the remaining part is at a temperature .
