Superluminal moving defects in the Ising spin chain

Quantum excitations in lattice systems always propagate at a finite maximum velocity. We probe this mechanism by considering a defect travelling at a constant velocity in the quantum Ising spin chain in transverse field. Independently of the microscopic details of the defect, we characterize the exp...
