We study the emergent thermodynamics associated with an arbitrary field quench in the Transverse Field Ising Model by calculating the fluctuations in the work done. An exact expression for the work fluctuation is obtained and is shown to exhibit non-analytic behavior when the system is initially critical.

The average work and a quantum fluctuation relation is used to determine the amount of irreversible entropy produced during the quench, eventually revealing how the closing of the excitation gap leads to increased dissipated work. The work fluctuation is calculated and shown to exhibit nonanalytic behavior as the prequench anisotropy parameter and transverse field are tuned across quantum critical points. Exact compact formulas for the average work and work fluctuation in ground state quenches of the transverse field Ising model allow us to calculate the first singular field derivative at the critical field values.}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevE.92.032142}, author = {Francis A Bayocboc Jr and Francis N.
