Universal Dynamic Scaling of 2D Quantum Ising Transition on the Fuzzy Sphere
Abstract
We revisit the problem of \textit{real-time} quantum dynamics of the paradigmatic two dimensional transverse-field Ising model using the recently developed fuzzy sphere regularization scheme. By linearly ramping the transverse field from the paramagnetic phase to criticality, we study the finite-time scaling behavior of the squared order parameter , the excitation energy density , and the two-point correlation function of . We establish numerically that, at intermediate quench rate, follows the conventional Kibble-Zurek prediction set by the critical exponents of the D Ising universality class, and the correlation function exhibits the expected exponential decay whose correlation length can be used to estimate the non-universal scaling coefficient in the freeze-out time/length. In contrast, the excitation energy density does not reach the same scaling regime at available system sizes due to large effective finite-size gap from symmetry-enforced level sparsity in the energy spectrum. At slow quench rates the universal quasi-adiabatic scaling for both and is recovered. Since the fuzzy sphere construction can realize not only the Ising conformal field theory (CFT), but a broad family of CFTs, our results establish a route to the real-time critical dynamics of strongly coupled CFTs that are otherwise computationally challenging to study.
