We consider the non-equilibrium dynamics after a sudden quench of the magnetic field in the transverse field Ising chain starting from excited states of the pre-quench Hamiltonian. We prove that stationary values of local correlation functions can be described by the generalised Gibbs ensemble (GGE). Then we study the full time evolution of the transverse magnetisation by means of stationary phase methods. The equal time two-point longitudinal correlation function is analytically derived for a particular class of excited states for quenches within the ferromagnetic phase, and studied numerically in general. The full time dependence of the entanglement entropy of a block of spins is also obtained analytically for the same class of states and for arbitrary quenches.

  1. Discrete power-law decay of subsystem distance after a quantum quench

    quant-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    For quenches in the transverse-field Ising chain, the Bures distance between the time-evolved subsystem state and its stationary generalized Gibbs ensemble decays as t^-λ, with λ taking only a few discrete values.
