- Abstract: According to an elementary result in quantum computing, any unitary
transformation on a composite system can be generated using 2-local unitaries,
i.e., those that act only on two subsystems. Beside its fundamental importance
in quantum computing, this result can also be regarded as a statement about the
dynamics of systems with local Hamiltonians: although locality puts various
constraints on the short-term dynamics, it does not restrict the possible
unitary evolutions that a composite system with a general local Hamiltonian can
experience after a sufficiently long time. We ask if such universality remains
valid in the presence of conservation laws and global symmetries. In
particular, can k-local symmetric unitaries on a composite system generate all
symmetric unitaries on that system? Interestingly, it turns out that the answer
is negative in the case of continuous symmetries, such as U(1) and SU(2):
generic symmetric unitaries cannot be implemented, even approximately, using
local symmetric unitaries. In fact, the difference between the dimensions of
the manifold of all symmetric unitaries and the submanifold of unitaries
generated by k-local symmetric unitaries, constantly increases with the system
size. On the other hand, we find that this no-go theorem can be circumvented
using ancillary qubits. For instance, any unitary invariant under rotations
around z can be implemented using Hamiltonian XX+YY together with local Z
Hamiltonian on the ancillary qubit. Moreover, any globally energy-conserving
unitary on a composite system can be implemented using a sequence of 2-local
energy-conserving unitaries, provided that one can use a single ancillary qubit
(catalyst).

We study how certain symmetries of the dynamics that are broken by the initial state are restored at the level of the reduced state of a given subsystem.
Here we show that that the same logic can be applied to the restoration of space-time symmetries, and hence can be used to characterise the relaxation of fully generic systems.

We find that interactions that preserve and break the global permutation symmetry sustains localisation.
Similar localisation also occurs for a permutation symmetric Heisenberg spin chain and permutation symmetric bosonic systems.

It was found that generic unitaries respecting a global symmetry cannot be realized, even approximately, using gates that respect the same symmetry.
This observation raises important open questions: What unitary transformations can be realized with k-local gates that respect a global symmetry?
In this work, we address these questions for the case of Abelian (commutative) symmetries and develop constructive methods for circuits with such symmetries.

Dual-unitary circuits are a class of locally-interacting quantum many-body systems.
In particular, they admit a class of solvable" initial states for which, in the thermodynamic limit, one can access the full non-equilibrium dynamics.
We show that in this case the entanglement increment during a time step is sub-maximal for finite times, however, it approaches the maximal value in the infinite-time limit.

We consider circuits with 2-local SU(d)-invariant unitaries acting on qudits, i.e., d-dimensional quantum systems.
For qubits with SU(2) symmetry, arbitrary global rotationally-invariant unitaries can be generated with 2-local ones.
For d>2, in addition to similar constraints on the relative phases between the irreps, locality also restricts the generated unitaries inside these conserved subspaces.
