Dynamic scaling of fronts in the quantum XX chain

The dynamics of the transverse magnetization in the zero-temperature XX chain is studied with emphasis on fronts emerging from steplike initial magnetization profiles. The fronts move with fixed velocity and display a staircase like internal structure whose dynamic scaling is explored both analytically and numerically. The front region is found to spread with time sub-diffusively with the height and the width of the staircase steps scaling as t^(-1/3) and t^1/3, respectively. The areas under the steps are independent of time, thus the magnetization relaxes in quantized "steps" of spin-flips.

Nonequilibrium Steady State in a Quantum System: One-dimensional Transverse Ising Model with Energy Current

We study the nonequilibrium steady states of an Ising chain in a transverse field, h, by investigating the effect of a field, lambda, which drives the current of energy. The zero-temperature, h-lambda phase diagram is determined exactly and it is found that the energy current appears continuously above a threshold, lambda > lambda_c(h). The long-range magnetic order (present for h<h_c, lambda < lambda_c) is destroyed in the current-carrying state where the correlations are characterized by power-law, oscillatory decay. The mechanism which generates the power-law correlations in the current-carrying state is discussed.
