An important feature of a quantum quench is the distribution of overlaps of the initial state with the eigenstates of the final Hamiltonian. This distribution of overlaps is closely related to the distribution of work done in a quantum quench. We will present a study of the overlap distribution in the XXZ spin chain. We will consider quenches of the anisotropy parameter and describe which eigenstates get excited in such quenches.
