The spin-1/2 Heisenberg model on the square lattice blayer provides a basic example to study quantum critical behavior in interacting quantum spin systems. While its static equilibrium properties have been intensively investigated in the past, thus far only few studies have discussed the details of the reconstruction of the excitation spectrum across the quantum phase transition between the antiferromagnetically ordered phase and the quantum disordered regime. Here, based on stochastic series expansion quantum Monte Carlo (SSE) simulations and stochastic analytic continuation (SAC) methods, we calculate the dynamical spin structure factors in this model in different symmetry sectors. We analyse the evolution of the low-energy modes, related to Goldstone modes as well as the longitudinal amplitude mode in the ordered phase upon crossing through the quantum critical point and consider the corresponding restoration of the SU(2) symmetry in the disordered regime. The obtained spectra are also discussed in view of results from series expansions, improved spin wave theory and strong-dimer perturbation theory.
