Quench between a Mott insulator and a Lieb-Liniger liquid

Abstract: In this work we study a quench between a Mott insulator and a repulsive Lieb-Liniger liquid. We find explicitly the stationary state when a long time has passed after the quench. It is given by a GGE density matrix which we completely characterize, calculating the quasiparticle density describing the system after the quench. In the long time limit we find an explicit form for the local three body density density density correlation function and the asymptotic long distance limit of the density density correlation function. The later is shown to have a Gaussian decay at large distances.
