Title Scaling and universality at noisy quench dynamical quantum phase transitions
Type JournalPaper
Keywords Dynamical phase transitions, Nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, Quantum quench
Abstract Dynamical quantum phase transitions (DQPTs) have been studied in the extended 𝑋⁢𝑌 model under both noiseless and noisy linear driven staggered field cases. In the time-independent staggered field case, the model exhibits a single critical point where the transition occurs from the spin-liquid phase to the antiferromagnetic phase. In the noiseless ramp case, unlike the transverse field 𝑋⁢𝑌 model where DQPT always occurs for a quench crossing the single critical point, there is a critical sweep velocity above which the kinks corresponding to a DQPT are completely removed. Furthermore, in this case there are only two critical modes whose excitation probability is one-half. In the presence of a Gaussian white noise, we find that this critical sweep velocity decreases by increasing the noise strength, and scales linearly with the square of the noise intensity. A surprising result occurs when the noise intensity and sweep velocity are about the same order of magnitude: The number of critical modes is significantly increased, signaling a region with multiple critical modes. Furthermore, our findings indicate that the scaling of the dynamical free energy near the DQPT time is the same for both noiseless and noisy ramp quenches.
