Interconnections between equilibrium topology and dynamical quantum phase transitions in a linearly ramped Haldane model
Abstract
We study the behavior of Fisher Zeros (FZs) and dynamical quantum phase transitions (DQPTs) for a linearly ramped Haldane model occurring in the subsequent temporal evolution of the same and probe the intimate connection with the equilibrium topology of the model}. Here, we investigate the temporal evolution of the final state of the Haldane Hamiltonian (evolving with time-independent final Hamiltonian) reached following a linear ramping of the staggered (Semenoff) mass term from an initial to a final value, {first selecting a specific protocol}, so chosen that the system is ramped from one non-topological phase to the other through a topological phase. {We establish the existence of three possible behaviour of areas of FZs corresponding to a given sector: (i) no-DQPT, (ii) one-DQPT (intermediate) and (iii)two-DQPTs (re-entrant), depending on the inverse quenching rate . Our study also reveals that the appearance of the areas of FZs is an artefact of the non-zero (quasi-momentum dependent) Haldane mass (), whose absence leads to an emergent one-dimensional behaviour indicated by the shrinking of the areas FZs to lines and the non-analyticity in the dynamical "free energy" itself. Moreover, the characteristic rates of crossover between the three behaviour of FZs are determined by the time-reversal invariant quasi-momentum points of the Brillouin zone where vanishes. Thus, we observe that through the presence or absence of , there exists an intimate relation to the topological properties of the equilibrium model even when the ramp drives the system far away from equilibrium.
