abstract

A phase transition indicates a sudden change in the properties of a large system. For temperature-driven phase transitions this is related to non-analytic behavior of the free energy density at the critical temperature: The knowledge of the free energy density in one phase is insufficient to predict the properties of the other phase. In this paper we show that a close analogue of this behavior can occur in the real time evolution of quantum systems, namely non-analytic behavior at a critical time. We denote such behavior a dynamical phase transition and explore its properties in the transverse field Ising model. Specifically, we show that the equilibrium quantum phase transition and the dynamical phase transition in this model are intimately related.

    In large-central-charge holographic CFTs, post-quench mutual information organizes into six phases governed by conformal block dominance and D4 symmetry breaking to Z2 x Z2.
