Exact dynamics following an interaction quench in a one-dimensional anyonic gas
Abstract
We study the nonequilibrium quench dynamics of a one-dimensional anyonic gas. We focus on the integrable anyonic Lieb-Liniger model and consider the quench from non-interacting to hard-core anyons. We study the dynamics of the local properties of the system. By means of integrability-based methods we compute analytically the one-body density matrix and the density-density correlation function at all times after the quench and in particular at infinite time. Our results show that the system evolves from an initial state where the local momentum distribution function is non-symmetric to a steady state where it becomes symmetric. Furthermore, while the initial momentum distribution functions (and the equilibrium ones) explicitly depend on the anyonic parameter, the final ones do not. This is reminiscent of the dynamical fermionization observed in the context of free expansions after release from a confining trap.
