摘要:

研究了自旋为1的各向异性XY链通过二级量子相变的绝热量子动力学。通过对单轴单自旋各向异性进行淬火,使系统脱离平衡,该各向异性应该随时间线性变化。我们表明,对于足够大的系统尺寸,淬火后的过剩能量承认一个非平凡的标度行为,是不可预测的标准Kibble-Zurek参数孤立的临界点或扩展的临界区域。这是由于在整个连续的临界点线内,许多可接近的低激发态的竞争效应。

英文摘要:

We study the adiabatic quantum dynamics of an anisotropic spin-1 XY chain across a second order quantum phase transition. The system is driven out of equilibrium by performing a quench on the uniaxial single-spin anisotropy, that is supposed to vary linearly in time. We show that, for sufficiently large system sizes, the excess energy after the quench admits a non trivial scaling behavior that is not predictable by standard Kibble-Zurek arguments for isolated critical points or extended critical regions. This emerges from a competing effect of many accessible low-lying excited states, inside the whole continuous line of critical points.
