In this work, one of the local quenches involves the connection of two spin-1/2 chains at a certain time and the other local quench corresponds to a sudden change in the magnitude of the transverse field at a given site in one of the spin chains. We numerically calculate the dynamics associated with the Loschmidt echo and the entanglement entropy as a result of such double quenches, and discuss various timescales involved in this problem using the picture of quasiparticles generated as a result of such quenches.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-07-03T16:21:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "one-dimensional quantum system", "loschmidt echo", "entanglement entropy", "double local quenches", "local quench corresponds" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150700963R" } } }
