contents The dynamical quantum phase transition (DQPT) is an important concept in nonequilibrium critical phenomena; however, its relation to the equilibrium quantum phase transition (EQPT) remains obscure. Substantial evidence has suggested that quenching across the underlying equilibrium phase boundary is neither a sufficient nor a necessary condition for the existence of the DQPT. In this work, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the occurrence of DQPTs in two-band systems by introducing the quench fidelity, which is defined as the fidelity between the ground-state wave functions of the prequench and postquench Hamiltonian, and elaborate it by taking the one-dimensional anisotropic XY model as an example. The relation between EQPTs and DQPTs is analyzed in detail in terms of the quench fidelity.
