Abstract

We study the escort probability distribution function of work done during an interaction quantum quench of Luttinger liquids. It crosses over from the thermodynamic to the small system limit with increasing aa, the order of the escort distribution, and depends on the universal combination (KiKf/(Ki+KF))a(|K_i-K_f|/(K_i+K_F))^a with KiK_i, KfK_f the initial and final Luttinger liquid parameters, respectively. From its characteristic function, the diagonal R\'enyi entropies and the many body inverse participation ratio (IPR) are determined to evaluate the information content of the time evolved wavefunction in terms of the eigenstates of the final Hamiltonian. The hierarchy of overlaps is dominated by that of the ground states. The IPR exhibits a crossover from Gaussian to power law decay with increasing interaction quench parameter.
