• Abstract: Dynamical symmetries are algebraic constraints on quantum dynamical systems, which are often responsible for persistent temporal periodicity of observables. In this work, we discuss how an extensive set of strictly local dynamical symmetries can exist in an interacting many-body quantum system. These strictly local dynamical symmetries lead to spontaneous breaking of continuous time-translation symmetry, i.e. the formation of extremely robust and persistent oscillations when an infinitesimal time-dependent perturbation is applied to an arbitrary initial (stationary) state. Observables which do not overlap with the local (dynamical) symmetry operators can relax, losing memory of their initial conditions. The remaining observables enter highly robust non-equilibrium limit cycles, signaling the emergence of a non-trivial \emph{quantum many-body attractor}. We provide an explicit recipe for constructing Hamiltonians featuring local dynamical symmetries. As an example, we introduce the XYZ spin-lace model, which is a model of a quasi-1D quantum magnet.

  interplay between symmetries and entanglement in out-of-equilibrium quantum systems is currently at the centre of an intense multidisciplinary research effort. We show that one can introduce a class of solvable states, which extends that of generic dual unitary circuits. In contrast to the known class of solvable states, which relax to the infinite temperature state, these states relax to a family of non-trivial generalised Gibbs ensembles.

  We study the system's response to unitary perturbations, as well as non-unitary perturbations, affecting the properties of the environment. We show that linear response, combined with a quantum probing approach, can effectively provide valuable quantitative information about the perturbation and characteristics of the environment.

• Continuous symmetry breaking in adaptive quantum dynamics [0.0]
  We introduce an adaptive quantum dynamics with continuous symmetry where unitary operations, measurements, and local unitary feedback are used to drive ordering. In this setting, we find a pure steady state hosting symmetry-breaking order, which is the ground state of a gapless, local Hamiltonian. We find that this steady-state order is fragile to perturbations, even those that respect the continuous symmetry.

• Metrological detection of multipartite entanglement through dynamical symmetries [0.0]
  Multipartite entanglement, characterized by the quantum Fisher information (QFI), plays a central role in quantum-enhanced metrology. We provide a rigorous lower bound on the QFI for the thermal Gibbs states in terms of dynamical symmetries. Our results reveal a new perspective to detect multipartite entanglement and other generalized variances in an equilibrium system.
