动态相变的拓扑分类

Topological classification of dynamical phase transitions

Szabolcs Vajna, Balázs Dóra

摘要:

动态相变(DPT)的特征在于动态自由能的非解析时间演化。对于一维和二维的一般2带系统(例如,SSH模型、Kitaev链、Haldham模型、p+ip超导体等),结果表明,初始和最终哈密顿量的基态拓扑结构对动力学自由能的时间演化有重要影响,这意味着当拓扑结构在猝灭下发生变化时会出现DPT。类似于拓扑绝缘体中的边缘状态,DPT可以被分类为被拓扑保护或不被拓扑保护。在1D系统中,拓扑保护的非平衡时标的数量由初始缠绕数和最终缠绕数之差决定,而在2D系统中,陈数不存在这种关系。在二维情况下,动力学自由能的奇异性与一维情况有本质的不同,尖点只出现在一阶导数处。

英文摘要:

Dynamical phase transitions (DPT) are characterized by nonanalytical time evolution of the dynamical free energy. For general 2-band systems in one and two dimensions (eg. SSH model, Kitaev-chain, Haldane model, p+ip superconductor, etc.), we show that the time evolution of the dynamical free energy is crucially affected by the ground state topology of both the initial and final Hamiltonians, implying DPTs when the topology is changed under the quench. Similarly to edge states in topological insulators, DPTs can be classified as being topologically protected or not. In 1D systems the number of topologically protected non-equilibrium time scales are determined by the difference between the initial and final winding numbers, while in 2D no such relation exists for the Chern numbers. The singularities of dynamical free energy in the 2D case are qualitatively different from those of the 1D case, the cusps appear only in the first time derivative.
