Non-equilibrium dynamics in the antiferromagnetic Hubbard model

Abstract

We investigate by means of the time-dependent Gutzwiller approximation the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of an antiferromagnetic state evolved with the Hubbard model Hamiltonian after a sudden change of the repulsion strength U. We find that magnetic order survives more than what expected on the basis of thermalization arguments, in agreement with recent DMFT calculations. In addition, we find evidence of a dynamical transition for quenches to large values of U between a coherent antiferromagnet characterized by a finite quasiparticle residue to an incoherent one with vanishing residue, that finally turns into a paramagnet for even larger U.
