摘要
We study the Ising spin chain with a Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, focusing on the static and dynamic properties of the entanglement entropy following a quantum quench. We show that the effects of the additional anisotropic interaction on the phase diagram and on the dynamics of the system are captured by the properties of the entanglement entropy. In particular, the model provides a way to study the quench dynamics in a system with an energy current. We consider quenches starting from an initial excited state of the Ising spin chain, and we analyze the effects of different initial conditions.
