We study the quantum dynamics of a one-dimensional spin-1/2 anisotropic XY model in a transverse field when the transverse field or the anisotropic interaction is quenched at a slow but uniform rate. The two quenching schemes are called…
We study the quenching dynamics of a one-dimensional spin-1/2 $XY$ model in a transverse field when the transverse field $h(=t/\tau)$ is quenched repeatedly between $-\infty$ and $+\infty$. A single passage from $h \to - \infty$ to $h \to…
We study the effects of interference on the quenching dynamics of a one-dimensional spin 1/2 $XY$ model in the presence of a transverse field ($h(t)$) which varies sinusoidally with time as $h = h_0\cos{\omega t}$, with $|t| \leq t_f =…
We study the quench dynamics of the three-dimensional Kitaev (spin) model under a linear drive using both exact numerical calculations and analytical "independent crossing approximation". Unlike the two-dimensional Kitaev model, the…
It is well known that the dynamics of a quantum system is always non-adiabatic in passage through a quantum critical point and the defect density in the final state following a quench shows a power-law scaling with the rate of quenching.…
We study the generation of defects when a quantum spin system is quenched through a multicritical point by changing a parameter of the Hamiltonian as $t/\tau$, where $\tau$ is the characteristic time scale of quenching. We argue that when a…

In this review, we study the quenching dynamics of a one-dimensional XY Hamiltonian in a transverse field under linear variation of different parameters of the Hamiltonian so that the system is driven through various critical points and…
We study quench dynamics and defect production in the Kitaev and the extended Kitaev models. For the Kitaev model in one dimension, we show that in the limit of slow quench rate, the defect density n \sim 1/\sqrt{\tau} where 1/\tau is the…
We present an exact result for the non-adiabatic transition probability and hence the defect density in the final state of a one-dimensional Kitaev model following a slow quench of the parameter $J_-$, which estimates the anisotropy between…
We have studied quantum phase transition induced by a quench in different one dimensional spin systems. Our analysis is based on the dynamical mechanism which envisages nonadiabaticity in the vicinity of the critical point. This causes spin…
We study the XYZ spin-1/2 chain placed in a magnetic field pointing along the x-axis. We use bosonization and a renormalization group analysis to show that the model has a non-trivial fixed point at a certain value of the XY anisotropy a…
We study the anisotropic Heisenberg (XYZ) spin-1/2 chain placed in a magnetic field pointing along the x-axis. We use bosonization and a renormalization group analysis to show that the model has a non-trivial fixed point at a certain value…
We study slow variation (both spatial as well as temporal) of a parameter of a system in the vicinity of discontinuous quantum phase transitions, in particular, a discontinuity critical point (DCP) (or a first-order critical point). We…
We show that for a d-dimensional model in which a quench with a rate \tau^{-1} takes the system across a d-m dimensional critical surface, the defect density scales as n \sim 1/\tau^{m\nu/(z\nu +1)}, where \nu and z are the correlation…
We study the quenching dynamics of a many-body system in one dimension described by a Hamiltonian that has spatial periodicity. Specifically, we consider a spin-1/2 chain with equal xx and yy couplings and subject to a periodically varying…
We use a disordered anti-ferromagnetic spin-1/2 chain with anisotropic exchange coupling to model an array of interacting qubits. All qubits have the same level spacing, except two, which are called the defects of the chain. The level…
We compute concurrence and negativity as measures of two-site entanglement generated by a power-law quench (characterized by a rate 1/tau and an exponent alpha) which takes an anisotropic XY chain in a transverse field through a quantum…
We study an integrable spin chain with three spin interactions and the staggered field ($\lambda$) while the latter is quenched either slowly (in a linear fashion in time ($t$) as $t/\tau$ where $t$ goes from a large negative value to a…
We investigate the influence of quenched disorder on the steady states of driven systems of the elastic interface with non-local hydrodynamic interactions. The generalized elastic model (GEM), which has been used to characterize numerous…
