Speed limits and locality in many-body quantum dynamics

CFA Chen, A Lucas, C Yin - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We review the mathematical speed limits on quantum information processing in many-body
systems. After the proof of the Lieb–Robinson Theorem in 1972, the past two decades have …

Krylov complexity in open quantum systems

C Liu, H Tang, H Zhai - Physical Review Research, 2023 - APS
Krylov complexity is a measure of operator complexity that exhibits universal behavior and
bounds a large class of other measures. In this paper, we generalize Krylov complexity from …

Operator growth in 2d CFT

P Caputa, S Datta - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract We investigate and characterize the dynamics of operator growth in irrational two-
dimensional conformal field theories. By employing the oscillator realization of the Virasoro …

Lieb-Robinson light cone for power-law interactions

MC Tran, AY Guo, CL Baldwin, A Ehrenberg… - Physical review …, 2021 - APS
The Lieb-Robinson theorem states that information propagates with a finite velocity in
quantum systems on a lattice with nearest-neighbor interactions. What are the speed limits …

Finite speed of quantum scrambling with long range interactions

CF Chen, A Lucas - Physical review letters, 2019 - APS
In a locally interacting many-body system, two isolated qubits, separated by a large distance
r, become correlated and entangled with each other at a time t≥ r/v. This finite speed v of …

Euclidean operator growth and quantum chaos

A Avdoshkin, A Dymarsky - Physical Review Research, 2020 - APS
We consider growth of local operators under Euclidean time evolution in lattice systems with
local interactions. We derive rigorous bounds on the operator norm growth and then …

Dynamical transition of operator size growth in quantum systems embedded in an environment

P Zhang, Z Yu - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
In closed generic many-body systems, unitary evolution disperses local quantum information
into highly nonlocal objects, resulting in thermalization. Such a process is called information …

Hierarchy of linear light cones with long-range interactions

MC Tran, CF Chen, A Ehrenberg, AY Guo… - Physical Review X, 2020 - APS
In quantum many-body systems with local interactions, quantum information and
entanglement cannot spread outside of a linear light cone, which expands at an emergent …

Absence of fast scrambling in thermodynamically stable long-range interacting systems

T Kuwahara, K Saito - Physical review letters, 2021 - APS
In this study, we investigate out-of-time-order correlators (OTOCs) in systems with power-law
decaying interactions such as R-α, where R is the distance. In such systems, the fast …

A sparse model of quantum holography

S Xu, L Susskind, Y Su, B Swingle - arxiv preprint arxiv:2008.02303, 2020 - arxiv.org
We study a sparse version of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model defined on random
hypergraphs constructed either by a random pruning procedure or by randomly sampling …
