- Title: Quantum speed limits for time evolution of a system subspace
- Authors: Sergio Albeverio, Alexander K. Motovilov
- Abstract summary: In the present work, we are concerned not with a single state but with a whole (possibly infinite-dimensional) subspace of the system states that are subject to the Schroedinger evolution.
We derive an optimal estimate on the speed of such a subspace evolution that may be viewed as a natural generalization of the Fleming bound.

- Abstract: One of the fundamental physical limits on the speed of time evolution of a
quantum state is known in the form of the celebrated Mandelstam-Tamm
inequality. This inequality gives an answer to the question on how fast an
isolated quantum system can evolve from its initial state to an orthogonal one.
In its turn, the Fleming bound is an extension of the Mandelstam-Tamm
inequality that gives an optimal speed bound for the evolution between
non-orthogonal initial and final states. In the present work, we are concerned
not with a single state but with a whole (possibly infinite-dimensional)
subspace of the system states that are subject to the Schroedinger evolution.
By using the concept of maximal angle between subspaces we derive an optimal
estimate on the speed of such a subspace evolution that may be viewed as a
natural generalization of the Fleming bound.

The concept of space-evolution (or space-time duality) has emerged as a promising approach for studying quantum dynamics.
We show that temporal entanglement always follows a volume law in time.
This unexpected structure in the temporal entanglement spectrum might be the key to an efficient computational implementation of the space evolution.

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.

In contrast to the basic Mandelstam-Tamm inequality, we are concerned with a subspace subject to the Schroedinger evolution.
By using the concept of maximal angle between subspaces we derive optimal bounds on the speed of such a subspace evolution.
These bounds may be viewed as further generalizations of the Mandelstam-Tamm inequality.

It is argued that the Schr"odinger equation does not yield a correct description of the quantum-mechanical time evolution of states of isolated (open) systems featuring events.
A precise general law for the time evolution of states replacing the Schr"odinger equation is formulated within the so-called ETH-Approach to Quantum Mechanics.

Quantum speed limits are rigorous estimates on how fast a state of a quantum system can depart from the initial state in the course of quantum evolution.
Most known quantum speed limits, including the celebrated Mandelstam-Tamm and Margolus-Levitin ones, are general bounds applicable to arbitrary initial states.
Here we derive a quantum speed limit for a closed system initially prepared in a thermal state and evolving under a time-dependent Hamiltonian.
