Abstract

We study the out-of-equilibrium properties of $1+1$ dimensional quantum electrodynamics (QED), discretized via the staggered-fermion Schwinger model with an Abelian $\mathbb{Z}_{n}$ gauge group. We look at two relevant phenomena: first, we analyze the stability of the Dirac vacuum with respect to particle/antiparticle pair production, both spontaneous and induced by an external electric field; then, we examine the string breaking mechanism. We observe a strong effect of confinement, which acts by suppressing both spontaneous pair production and string breaking into quark/antiquark pairs, indicating that the system dynamics displays a number of out-of-equilibrium features.

Gauge theories represent a fundamental building block of our understanding of physical laws. Despite their elegance, their real-time dynamics is often difficult to solve on classical computers, due to their complexity, that grows exponentially with the system size.

In recent years, several approaches leveraging on quantum information have enabled controlled simulations of such theories in real-time. These novel tools, based on a class of wave-functions known as tensor networks, offer unique opportunities to understand the spreading of quantum correlations, and in particular entanglement, in gauge theories.

We study here the Schwinger-Weyl lattice model, in which both space and the gauge degree of freedom are discretized, in such a way that standard quantum electrodynamics in 1+1 dimensions is reproduced in the continuum limit.

We analyze the stability of the Dirac vacuum, the mechanism of pair (particle/antiparticle) production, as well as the intriguing string breaking mechanism. Strings behave very differently, depending on the particle mass and charge (coupling), and their dynamics leaves characteristics footprints in the entanglement evolution. A number of out-of-equilibrium features are unhearted and scrutinized.
