Disentangling connection between static and dynamical phase transitions

Dynamical quantum phase transition is a nonstationary analog of the equilibrium quantum phase transitions that may occur after global quenches across a quantum phase transition in systems. In this work, we investigate the quench dynamics of single-particle tight-binding quasiperiodic lattices, where the quenching process originates and terminates within the same phases. Intriguingly, the system under quench dynamics undergoes an energy-dependent dynamical quantum phase transition, characterized by the singularities of the Loschmidt echo in time scale. Specifically, we find disentangling behavior between static and dynamical quantum phase transitions for eigenenergies excluding band edges. Remarkably, the connection between static and dynamical quantum phase transitions does not hold generally for all eigenenergies. Our findings suggest the existence of dynamical phase transitions inside the band energies without crossing the critical point under certain conditions. Our results pave the way to a deeper understanding of the energy-dependent nonequilibrium quench dynamics.

Abstract

Dynamical quantum phase transition is a nonstationary analog of the equilibrium quantum phase transitions that may occur after global quenches across a quantum phase transition in systems. In this work, we investigate the quench dynamics of single-particle tight-binding quasiperiodic lattices, where the quenching process originates and terminates within the same phases. Intriguingly, the system under quench dynamics undergoes an energy-dependent dynamical quantum phase transition, characterized by the singularities of the Loschmidt echo in time scale. Specifically, we find disentangling behavior between static and dynamical quantum phase transitions for eigenenergies excluding band edges. Remarkably, the connection between static and dynamical quantum phase transitions does not hold generally for all eigenenergies. Our findings suggest the existence of dynamical phase transitions inside the band energies without crossing the critical point under certain conditions. Our results pave the way to a deeper understanding of the energy-dependent nonequilibrium quench dynamics.
