This quantity characterizes the quench dynamics induced by sudden change of the parameter. In this framework, I analyze scaling relations concerning the probability of excitation and the excitation energy, with the quench amplitude of this parameter. These results are illustrated in the case of one-dimensional sine-Gordon model.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-10-02T19:56:43.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quench dynamics", "quantum criticality", "one-dimensional sine-gordon model", "ground-state wave function", "ground-state fidelity susceptibility" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0910.0255B" } } }
