Effects Induced by the Initial Condition in the Quantum Kibble–Zurek Scaling for Changing the Symmetry-Breaking Field

The Kibble–Zurek scaling describes the driven critical dynamics starting with an equilibrium state far away from the critical point. Recently, it has been shown that scaling behaviors also exist when the fluctuation term changes starting near the critical point. In this case, the relevant initial co...
