Signatures of excited-state quantum phase transitions in quench dynamics — •Michal Kloc — Department of Physics, University of Basel, Klingelbergstrasse 82, CH-4056 Basel, Switzerland

Excited-state quantum phase transitions manifest themselves as singularities in the level density of the excited states. In the case of integrable or weakly chaotic systems, we show that equilibration after a rapid quantum quench is affected by these singularities. The specific features of the equilibration process are analyzed using both purely quantum and quasiclassical approaches.
