Dynamical quantum phase transitions from quantum optics perspective

Abstract: It is shown that dynamical quantum phase transitions observed as singularities in the Loschmidt rate singularities bear close resemblance to standard Rabi oscillations known from dynamics of two-level systems. For some many-body systems this analogy may go even further and the behaviour observed for e.g. transverse Ising chain can be directly mapped to such simple dynamics. It is explained why A simple link between Loschmidt echo singularities and quantum scars is suggested.
