摘要

We investigate finite-size effects in quantum quenches on the basis of simple energetic arguments. Distinguishing between the low-energy part of the excitation spectrum, below a microscopic energy scale, and the high-energy regime enables one to define a crossover number of particles that is shown to diverge in the small quench limit. Another crossover number is proposed based on the fidelity between the initial and final ground states. Both criteria can be computed using ground-state techniques that work for systems larger than full-spectrum diagonalization. As examples, two models are studied: one with free bosons in an harmonic trap whose frequency is quenched and the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model that is known to be nonintegrable and for which recent studies have uncovered remarkable nonequilibrium behaviors. The diagonal weights of the ti me-averaged density matrix are computed, and observables obtained from this diagonal ensemble are compared with the ones from statistical ensembles. It is argued that the "thermalized" regime of the Bose-Hubbard model, previously observed in the small quench regime, experiences strong finite-size effects that make a thorough comparison with statistical ensembles difficult. In addition, we show that the nonthermalized regime, emerging on finite-size systems and for large interaction quenches, is not related to the existence of an equilibrium quantum critical point but to the high-energy structure of the energy spectrum in the atomic limit. Its features are reminiscent of the quench from the noninteracting limit to the atomic limit.
