Universal Statistics of Topological Defects Formed in a Quantum Phase Transition
Adolfo del Campo
When a quantum phase transition is crossed in finite time, critical slowing down leads to the breakdown of adiabatic dynamics and the formation of topological defects. The average…

Universal dynamics of inhomogeneous quantum phase transitions: suppressing defect formation
F. J. Gómez-Ruiz, A. del Campo
In the nonadiabatic dynamics across a quantum phase transition, the Kibble-Zurek mechanism predicts that the formation of topological defects is suppressed as a universal power law…
