3 Crossing a critical point Qualitative picture Time-dependent hamiltonian H(t) = H critical + g(t)v Power-law tuning parameter g(t) sgn(t) t/τ α = sgn(t)v t α driving the system through the critical point. The system remains in the instantaneous ground state GS(t) as long as it is protected by a finite gap (t) from the excited states. Breaking of the adiabaticity close to the critical point since the gap vanishes right at the QCP.
4 Crossing a critical point Kibble-Zurek argument P AI Kibble-Zurek mechanism Adiabatic: Sufficiently away from the critical point no transitions between instantaneous eigenstates Impulse: Sufficiently close to the critical! Q point critical slowing down no change in the wave function except for an overall phase factor IG. 2: Transition probability when the system starts time volution from a ground state at t i and evolves to +. Dots: exact expression (11). Solid line: AI predicion (12) with α = π/2 determined from diabatic solution in ppendix A. Dashed thick line: lowest order diabatic result, πτ Q/2, coming from (A5) and (A6) with η =1/2. ading to Eqs. (A5) and (A6) is not only much easier hen determination of exact LZ solution [18], but also eally elementary. Therefore, we expect that it can be one comparably easily for any model of interest. Adiabatic-Impulse (a) approximation (b) 2> 1> 1> 2> 0 t adiabatic impulse -t ^ 0 L ^tr 4 adiabatic FIG. 3: The same as in Fig. 1 but for nonsymmetric Landau- Zener problem with δ > 1 see (13). t [, ˆt L ] : ϕ(t) e iα(t) 0(t) t [ ˆt L, ˆt R ] : ϕ(t) e iβ(t) 0( ˆt L ) agreement we have seen above is accidental and has something t to[ˆt do R, with + ] the symmetry : ϕ(t) 0(t) of the Landau-Zener 2 = const. problem. The second problem was preliminarily considered in [9], but without comparing the AI prediction to exact analytic one being interesting on its own. Finally, the third problem is an example where AI approximation correctly suggests at a first sight unexpected symmetry between this problem and the one considered in Sec. III B.

6 Confining potential Power-law spatial inhomogeneity A power-law deviation in one direction of the quantum control parameter h form its critical value h c : x 2 δ(x, t) h(x, t) h c g(t)x ω, x > 0 x g(t) = v t α sgn(t) g(t)
7 Confining potential Power-law spatial inhomogeneity A power-law deviation in one direction of the quantum control parameter h form its critical value h c : x 2 δ(x, t) h(x, t) h c g(t)x ω, x > 0 x g(t) = v t α sgn(t) g(t) The perturbation introduces a crossover region in space-time (x, t) around the critical locus (0,0). Lenght-scale Time-scale l(t) δ(l, t) ν l(t) g(t) 1/yg y g = (1 + νω)/ν τ l(τ) z τ v z/yv y v = y g + zα The exponent y v is the RG dimension of the perturbation field, such that under rescaling by a factor b the amplitude transforms as v = b yv v.
8 Confining potential Scaling arguments Under rescaling, the profile ϕ(x, t, v) associated to an operator ϕ with scaling dimension x ϕ transform as ϕ(x, t, v) = b xϕ ϕ(xb 1, tb z, vb yv ) Taking b = v 1/yv l τ 1/z one obtains ϕ(x, t, v) = v xϕ/yv Φ(xv 1/yv, tv z/yv ) Trap-size scaling ϕ l xϕ associated to a finite size system with l v 1/yv.
