Motivated by recent experiments with ultracold matter, we derive a new bound on the propagation of information in D-dimensional lattice models exhibiting 1/r^{α} interactions with α>D. The bound contains two terms: One accounts for the short-ranged part of the interactions, giving rise to a bounded velocity and reflecting the persistence of locality out to intermediate distances, whereas the other contributes a power-law decay at longer distances. We demonstrate that these two contributions not…

Dynamics of long-range interacting quantum spin systems
In this thesis we study the time evolution of correlation functions in quantum lattice models in the presence of long-range interactions or hopping decaying asymptotically as a power law. For a large
Emergent locality in systems with power-law interactions
• Physics, Computer Science
Physical Review A
• 2019
While the interactions are long-range, their effect on information spreading is asymptotically negligible as long as $\alpha>1$, which directly implies that all previously obtained rigorous bounds on information spread in long- range interacting systems are not tight, and thus could be improved.
Spreading of correlations in exactly-solvable quantum models with long-range interactions in arbitrary dimensions
• Physics
• 2016
We study the out-of-equilibrium dynamics induced by quantum quenches in quadratic Hamiltonians featuring both short- and long-range interactions. The spreading of correlations in the presence of
Interplay of Soundcone and Supersonic Propagation in Lattice Models with Power Law Interactions
• Physics
• 2015
We study the spreading of correlations and other physical quantities in quantum lattice models with interactions or hopping decaying like $r^{-\alpha}$ with the distance $r$. Our focus is on
Singular dynamics and emergence of nonlocality in long-range quantum models
• Physics
• 2016
We discuss how nonlocality originates in long-range quantum systems and how it affects their dynamics at and out of the equilibrium. We focus in particular on the Kitaev chains with long-range
Algebraic localization from power-law couplings in disordered quantum wires

• Physics
Physical Review B
• 2019
We analyze the effects of disorder on the correlation functions of one-dimensional quantum models of fermions and spins with long-range interactions that decay with distance $\ell$ as a power-law
Exponentially slow heating in short and long-range interacting Floquet systems
• Physics
• 2019
We analyze the dynamics of periodically-driven (Floquet) Hamiltonians with short- and long-range interactions, finding clear evidence for a thermalization time, $\tau^*$, that increases exponentially
Non-local propagation of correlations in quantum systems with long-range interactions
This work applies a variable-range Ising spin chain Hamiltonian and aVariable-range XY spin chainHamiltonian to a far-from-equilibrium quantum many-body system and observes its time evolution, determining the spatial and time-dependent correlations, extracting the shape of the light cone and measuring the velocity with which correlations propagate through the system.
Origin of the slow growth of entanglement entropy in long-range interacting spin systems
• Physics
• 2020
Long-range interactions allow far-distance quantum correlations to build up very fast. Nevertheless, numerical simulations demonstrated a dramatic slowdown of entanglement entropy growth after a
Confined Quasiparticle Dynamics in Long-Range Interacting Quantum Spin Chains.
A two-kink model is introduced to qualitatively explain the phenomenon of long-range-interaction-induced confinement and to quantitatively predict the masses of the bound quasiparticles.

I am writing with a simple plea to balance the voluminous articles about treatment in your journal with a modicum of information about nature and caring effects to rekindle the perception of physicians as healers, not only treaters, who relish the gifts of nature, and foster the humanistic aspect of medicine that has thrived for millennia.
