Phase diagram and quench dynamics of the Cluster-XY spin chain

Quantum Physics 2017-11-30 v4 Statistical Mechanics

Abstract

We study the complete phase space and the quench dynamics of an exactly solvable spin chain, the cluster-XY model. In this chain, the cluster term and the XY couplings compete to give a rich phase diagram. The phase diagram is studied by means of the quantum geometric tensor. We study the time evolution of the system after a critical quantum quench using the Loschmidt echo. The structure of the revivals after critical quantum quenches presents a non trivial behavior depending on the phase of the initial state and the critical point.
