- Abstract: We consider two mutually interacting fermionic particle species on a
one-dimensional lattice and study how the mass ratio $\eta$ between the two
species affects the (equilibration) dynamics of the particles. Focussing on the
regime of strong interactions and high temperatures, two well-studied points of
reference are given by (i) the case of equal masses ${\eta = 1}$, i.e., the
standard Fermi-Hubbard chain, where initial non-equilibrium density
distributions are known to decay, and (ii) the case of one particle species
being infinitely heavy, ${\eta = 0}$, leading to a localization of the lighter
particles in an effective disorder potential. Given these two opposing cases,
the dynamics in the case of intermediate mass ratios ${0 < \eta < 1}$ is of
particular interest. To this end, we study the real-time dynamics of pure
states featuring a sharp initial non-equilibrium density profile. Relying on
the concept of dynamical quantum typicality, the resulting non-equilibrium
dynamics can be related to equilibrium correlation functions. Summarizing our
main results, we observe that diffusive transport occurs for moderate values of
the mass imbalance, and manifests itself in a Gaussian spreading of real-space
density profiles and an exponential decay of density modes in momentum space.
For stronger imbalances, we provide evidence that transport becomes anomalous
on intermediate time scales and, in particular, our results are consistent with
the absence of strict localization in the long-time limit for any ${\eta > 0}$.
Based on our numerical analysis, we provide an estimate for the "lifetime" of
the effective localization as a function of $\eta$.

In a dissipative system, postquench information propagates solely through entangled pairs of quasiparticles having a finite lifetime.
Remarkably, in spite of the finite lifetime of the quasiparticles, a finite steady-state value of the MI survives in times which is an artifact of nonvanishing two-point correlations.
