• Authors: Hemlata Bhandari, P. Durganandini
• Abstract summary: We study the continuous time quantum walk of a single particle (initially localized at a single site) on a one-dimensional spatial lattice. Complex couplings lead to chiral propagation and a causal cone structure asymmetric about the origin. We find a global "quasi-stationary state" which can be described in terms of the local quasi-particle densities satisfying type of hydrodynamic equation.

• Abstract: We study the continuous time quantum walk of a single particle (initially localized at a single site) on a one-dimensional spatial lattice with complex nearest neighbour and next-nearest neighbour hopping amplitudes. Complex couplings lead to chiral propagation and a causal cone structure asymmetric about the origin. We provide a hydrodynamic description for quantum walk dynamics in large space time limit. We find a global "quasi-stationary state" which can be described in terms of the local quasi-particle densities satisfying Euler type of hydrodynamic equation and is characterized by an infinite set of conservation laws satisfied by scaled cumulative position moments. Further, we show that there is anomalous sub-diffusive scaling near the extremal fronts, which can be described by higher order hydrodynamic equations. The long time behaviour for any complex next-nearest neighbour hopping with a non-zero real component is similar to that of purely real hopping (apart from asymmetric distribution). There is a critical coupling strength at which there is a Lifshitz transition where the topology of the causal structure changes from a regime with one causal cone to a regime with two nested causal cones. On the other hand, for purely imaginary next-nearest neighbour hopping, there is a transition from one causal cone to a regime with two partially overlapping cones due to the existence of degenerate maximal fronts (moving with the same maximal velocity). The nature of the Lifshitz transition and the scaling behaviour (both) at the critical coupling strength is different in the two cases.

  We study periodic dynamical quantum phase transitions (DQPTs) directly connected to the zeros of a Landau order parameter (OP) We find that a DQPT signals a change in the dominant contribution to the wave function in the degenerate initial-state manifold. Our work generalizes previous results and reveals that, in general, periodic DQPTs comprise complex many-body dynamics fundamentally beyond that of two-level systems.

  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 show that the emergence of a dynamical quantum phase transition hinges on the generation of a finite mass gap following the quench. In general, we can define two distinct dynamical phases characterized by the finiteness of the post-quench mass gap. The Loschmidt echo exhibits periodical nonanalytic cusps whenever the initial state has a vanishing mass gap and the final state has a finite mass gap.
