Abstract

We investigate two types of dynamical quantum phase transitions (DQPTs) in the transverse field Ising model on ensembles of Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi networks of size NN. These networks consist of vertices connected randomly with probability pp (0<p10<p\leq 1). Using analytical derivations and numerical techniques, we compare the characteristics of the transitions for p<1p<1 against the fully connected network (p=1p=1). We analytically show that the overlap between the wave function after a quench and the wave function of the fully connected network after the same quench deviates by at most O(N1/2)\mathcal{O}(N^{-1/2}). For a DQPT defined by an order parameter, the critical point remains unchanged for all pp. For a DQPT defined by the rate function of the Loschmidt echo, we find that the rate function deviates from the p=1p=1 limit near vanishing points of the overlap with the initial state, while the critical point remains independent for all pp. Our analysis suggests that this divergence arises from persistent non-trivial global many-body correlations absent in the p=1p=1 limit.
