Zusammenfassung:Deconfined quantum critical point (DQCP) characterizes a kind of exotic phase transition beyond the usual Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson paradigm. Here we study the nonequilibrium imaginary-time dynamics of the DQCP in the two-dimensional J-Q_{3} model. We explicitly show the deconfinement dynamic process and identify that it is the spinon confinement length, rather than the usual correlation length, that increases proportionally to the time. Moreover, we find that, in the relaxation process, the order parameters of the Néel and the valence-bond-solid orders can be controlled by different length scales, although they satisfy the same equilibrium scaling forms. A dual dynamic scaling theory is then proposed. Our findings not only constitute a new realm of nonequilibrium criticality in DQCP, but also offer a controllable knob by which to investigate the dynamics in strongly correlated systems. Possible realizations in foreseeable quantum computers are also discussed.
