AbstractIt is shown that if Φ is a finite range interaction of a quantum spin system,τtΦ the associated group of time translations, τx the group of space translations, andA, B local observables, then $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{\begin{array}{*{20}c} {|t| \to \infty } \\ {|x| > \upsilon |t|} \\ \end{array} } ||[\tau _t^\Phi \tau _x (A),B]||e^{\mu (\upsilon )t} = 0$$ wheneverv is sufficiently large (v>VΦ) where μ(v)>0. The physical content of the statement is that information can propagate in the…

Application of Resolvent CCR Algebras to Statistical Mechanics of Bosons on Lattices

In this note, we report application of the resolvent CCR algebras to statistical mechanics of Bosons on lattices. One of our motivation is originated from results on the quantum Ising model in a…

Automorphic Equivalence within Gapped Phases of Quantum Lattice Systems

Gapped ground states of quantum spin systems have been referred to in the physics literature as being ‘in the same phase’ if there exists a family of Hamiltonians H(s), with finite range interactions…

Hierarchy of Linear Light Cones with Long-Range Interactions

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 velocity analogous to the speed…

Quantum Quenches and Entanglement

A simple but quite non-trivial class of non-equilibrium processes of a quantum many-body system is quantum quenches. We start with a ground state \(\mid \!\Phi _{0}\rangle\) of a certain Hamiltonian…

Locality Bound for Dissipative Quantum Transport.

The result generalizes the Lieb-Robinson bound to constrain the sub-ballistic diffusion of conserved densities in a dissipative setting and illustrates the general result with the case of a spin-half XXZ chain with on-site dephasing.

Trotter Product Formulae for $$*$$ ∗ -Automorphisms of Quantum Lattice Systems

We consider the dynamics $$t\mapsto \tau _t$$ t ↦ τ t of an infinite quantum lattice system that is generated by a local interaction. If the interaction decomposes into a finite number of terms that…

A Rigorous Theory of Many-Body Prethermalization for Periodically Driven and Closed Quantum Systems

Prethermalization refers to the transient phenomenon where a system thermalizes according to a Hamiltonian that is not the generator of its evolution. We provide here a rigorous framework for quantum…

Entropic dimension for completely positive maps

AbstractWe extend the concept of quantum dynamical entropyhφ(γ) to cover the case of a completely positive map γ. Forhφ(γ) = 0 we examine the limit $$h_\phi (N,\gamma ,\beta ) = \mathop {\lim…

Many-body chaos in the antiferromagnetic quantum critical metal

We compute the scrambling rate at the antiferromagnetic (AFM) quantum critical point, using the fixed point theory of Phys. Rev. X $\boldsymbol{7}$, 021010 (2017). At this strongly coupled fixed…

Strictly Linear Light Cones in Long-Range Interacting Systems of Arbitrary Dimensions

This work proves the existence of the linear light cone for $\alpha>2D+1$ ($D$: the spatial dimension), and characterizes the best general constraints on the information spreading.

On certain non-relativistic quantized fields

We consider a Euclidean invariant interaction Hamiltonian which is a polynomial in smeared Fermion field operators (the smearing function providing an ultraviolet cut-off). By considering Guenin's…

Time development of quantum lattice systems

The time development of quantum lattice systems is studied with a weaker assumption on the growth of the potential than has been considered previously.
