Evolution of the chiral condensate (CC) (4) and gauge violation (5) in the wake of a global quench, obtained using matrix-product-state numerics with a infinite cylinder of width Ly = 2 matter sites. a Starting in the charge-proliferated state of Fig. 2a and quenching to m/κ = −1.61; b starting in the vacuum initial state of Fig. 2a and quenching to m/κ = 0. The results show impressive agreement between the quantum link model (QLM) and Bose-Hubbard model (BHM) results, with gauge violation well-suppressed over all evolution times.
