We study the out-of-equilibrium Kibble-Zurek (KZ) dynamics in quantum Ising chains in a transverse field, driven by a time-dependent longitudinal field $h(t)=t/t_s$ ($t_s$ is the time scale of the protocol), across their first-order quantum…

The Kibble-Zurek mechanism is the paradigm to account for the nonadiabatic dynamics of a system across a continuous phase transition. Its study in the quantum regime is hindered by the requisite of ground state cooling. We report the…

We investigate the transition from PT-symmetry to PT-symmetry breaking and vice versa in the non-Hermitian Landau-Zener (LZ) models. The energy is generally complex, so the relaxation rate of the system is set by the absolute value of the…
