Quantum quench dynamics of the sine-Gordon model in some solvable limits

With regard to the thermalization problem in isolated quantum systems, we investigate the dynamics following a quantum quench of the sineGordon model (sGM) in the Luther-Emery and the semiclassical limits. We consider the quench from the gapped to the gapless phase, as well as the reverse one. By ob...

description With regard to the thermalization problem in isolated quantum systems, we investigate the dynamics following a quantum quench of the sineGordon model (sGM) in the Luther-Emery and the semiclassical limits. We consider the quench from the gapped to the gapless phase, as well as the reverse one. By obtaining analytic expressions for the one- and two-point correlation functions of the order parameter operator at zero-temperature, the manifestations of integrability in the absence of thermalization in the sGM are studied. It is shown that correlations in the long-time regime after the quench are well described by a generalized Gibbs ensemble. We also consider the case where the system is initially in contact with a reservoir at finite temperature. The possible relevance of our results to current and future experiments with ultracold atomic systems is also considered.
