Quantum Quench dynamics in XY spin chain with ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions

In this manuscript we investigate the one-dimensional anisotropic XY model with ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions, which gives more interesting phase diagrams and dynamic critical behaviors. By using quantum renormalization-group method, we find that there are three phases in the system: antiferromagnetic Ising phase ordered in "x direction", spin-fluid phase and ferromagnetic Ising phase ordered in "y direction". In order to study the dynamical critical behaviors of the system, two quantum quenching methods are used. In both cases, the concurrence, a measure of entanglement, oscillates periodically over time. We show that the periods are the same and can be used as a new order parameter for quantum phase transitions. For further discussion, we derive the scaling exponent, θ, and correlation length exponent, ν, from the scaling behavior of the evolution period.

Dynamics of entanglement in the one-dimensional anisotropic XXZ model

The dynamics of entanglement in the one-dimensional spin-1/2 anisotropic XXZ model is studied using the quantum renormalization-group method. We obtain the analytical expression of the concurrence, for two different quenching methods, it is found that initial state plays a key role in the evolution of system entanglement, i.e., the system returns completely to the initial state every other period. Our computations and analysis indicate that the first derivative of the characteristic time at which the concurrence reaches its maximum or minimum with respect to the anisotropic parameter occurs nonanalytic behaviors at the quantum critical point. Interestingly, the minimum value of the first derivative of the characteristic time versus the size of the system exhibits the scaling behavior which is the same as the scaling behavior of the system ground-state entanglement in equilibrium. In particular, the scaling behavior near the critical point is independent of the initial state.
