Statistics of the work distribution for a quenched Fermi gas

The local quench of a Fermi gas, giving rise to the Fermi edge singularity and the Anderson orthogonality catastrophe, is an analytically tractable out-of-equilibrium problem in condensed matter. It describes the generic physics that occurs when a localized scattering potential is suddenly introduce...
