Abstract
We investigate the critical behavior of momentum-space entanglement entropy at dynamical quantum phase transitions (DQPTs) in translationally invariant two-band insulators and superconductors. By analyzing the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model, the quantum XY chain, and the Haldane model, we establish that the geometric DQPT condition d_kⁱ · d_k^f = 0 manifests as exact degeneracy p_k^*=1/2 in the entanglement spectrum defined with respect to the post-quench eigenbasis, yielding a maximal momentum-space entropy of ln 2. In one dimension, critical momenta appear as isolated points, whereas in two dimensions they form continuous one-dimensional manifolds, reflecting the dimensional dependence of the underlying critical structure. Importantly, alternative bipartitions such as the sublattice basis produce qualitatively different behavior: the entropy becomes explicitly time-dependent and attains a minimum at DQPT critical times, underscoring the essential role of basis selection. Our results establish that momentum-space entanglement entropy, when evaluated in the appropriate eigenbasis, provides a robust, time-independent diagnostic of DQPTs and offers a unified geometric perspective linking entanglement, topology, and non-equilibrium criticality.
