• Abstract: 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 of light. Local operations at sufficiently separated spacetime points approximately commute -- given a many-body state, $\mathcal{O}_x(t) \mathcal{O}_y |\psi\rangle \approx \mathcal{O}_y\mathcal{O}_x(t) |\psi\rangle$ with arbitrarily small errors -- so long as $|x-y|\gtrsim vt$, where $v$ is finite. Yet most non-relativistic physical systems realized in nature have long-range interactions: two degrees of freedom separated by a distance $r$ interact with potential energy $V(r) \propto 1/r^{\alpha}$. In systems with long-range interactions, we rigorously establish a hierarchy of linear light cones: at the same $\alpha$, some quantum information processing tasks are constrained by a linear light cone while others are not. In one spatial dimension, this linear light cone exists for every many-body state when $\alpha>3$ (Lieb-Robinson light cone); for a typical state chosen uniformly at random from the Hilbert space when $\alpha>\frac{5}{2}$ (Frobenius light cone); for every state of a non-interacting system when $\alpha>2$ (free light cone). These bounds apply to time-dependent systems and are optimal up to subalgebraic improvements. Our theorems regarding the Lieb-Robinson and free light cones -- and their tightness -- also generalize to arbitrary dimensions. We discuss the implications of our bounds on the growth of connected correlators and of topological order, the clustering of correlations in gapped systems, and the digital simulation of systems with long-range interactions. In addition, we show that universal quantum state transfer, as well as many-body quantum chaos, are bounded by the Frobenius light cone, and therefore are poorly constrained by all Lieb-Robinson bounds.

  A structure composed of two parallel homogeneous layers is studied in the limit as their widths $l_j$ and $l_j$, and the distance between them $r$ shrinks to zero simultaneously. The existence of non-trivial bound states is proven in the squeezing limit, including the particular example of the squeezed potential in the form of the derivative of Dirac's delta function. The scenario how a single bound state survives in the squeezed system from a finite number of bound states in the finite system is described in detail.

• Lieb Robinson bounds and out of time order correlators in a long range spin chain [0.0]
  We discuss the relation of Lieb Robinson bounds to out of time order correlators, which correspond to different norms of commutators $C(r,t) = [A_i(t),B_i+r]$ of local operators. Our analysis shows that both norms (operator norm and normalized Frobenius norm) exhibit the same numerical behavior. The form of the tails of $C(r,t)propto t/ralpha$ is described by short time perturbation theory.
