We study the nonequilibrium formation of a spin screening cloud that accompanies the quenching of a local magnetic moment immersed in a Fermi sea at zero temperature. Based on high-precision density matrix renormalization-group results for the interacting single-impurity Anderson model, we discuss the real-time evolution after a quantum quench in the impurity-reservoir hybridization using time-evolving block decimation. We report emergent length and time scales in the spatiotemporal structure of nonlocal correlation functions in the spin and the charge density channel. At equilibrium, our data for the correlation functions and the extracted length scales show good agreement with existing results, as do local time-dependent observables at the impurity. In the time-dependent data, we identify a major signal which defines a light cone moving at the Fermi velocity and a ferromagnetic component in its wake. Inside the light cone we find that the structure of the nonequilibrium correlation functions emerges on two time scales. Initially, the qualitative structure of the correlation functions develops rapidly at the lattice Fermi velocity. Subsequently the spin correlations converge to the equilibrium results on a much larger time scale. This process sets a dynamic energy scale, which we identify to be proportional to the Kondo temperature. Outside the light cone we observe two different power-law decays of the correlation functions in space, with time-and interaction-strength-independent exponents.
