Exact solutions show that on an infinite chain, the transport responses of the models are nearly identical. However, on finite-length chains, the broadening of discrete spectral lines is much more noticeable in the case of a domain wall.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-04-21T07:03:19.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum dynamics", "discrete spectral lines", "ising domain wall", "exact solutions", "infinite chain" ], "tags": [ "conference paper" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 2, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
