  We study the time evolution in the transverse-field Ising chain subject to
quantum quenches of finite duration, ie, a continuous change in the transverse
magnetic field over a finite time. Specifically, we consider the dynamics of
the total energy, one- and two-point correlation functions and Loschmidt echo
during and after the quench as well as their stationary behaviour at late
times. We investigate how different quench protocols affect the dynamics and
identify universal properties of the relaxation.
