- Abstract: Understanding how the dynamics of a given quantum system with many degrees of
freedom is altered by the presence of a generic perturbation is a notoriously
difficult question. Recent works predict that, in the overwhelming majority of
cases, the unperturbed dynamics is just damped by a simple function, e.g.,
exponentially as expected from Fermi's golden rule. While these predictions
rely on random-matrix arguments and typicality, they can only be verified for a
specific physical situation by comparing to the actual solution or measurement.
Crucially, it also remains unclear how frequent and under which conditions
counterexamples to the typical behavior occur. In this work, we discuss this
question from the perspective of projection-operator techniques, where
exponential damping of a density matrix occurs in the interaction picture but
not necessarily in the Schr\"odinger picture. We show that a nontrivial damping
in the Schr\"odinger picture can emerge if the dynamics in the unperturbed
system possesses rich features, for instance due to the presence of strong
interactions. This suggestion has consequences for the time dependence of
correlation functions. We substantiate our theoretical arguments by large-scale
numerical simulations of charge transport in the extended Fermi-Hubbard chain,
where the nearest-neighbor interactions are treated as a perturbation to the
integrable reference system.

- Observation of Nonlinear Response and Onsager Regression in a Photon Bose-Einstein Condensate [34.82692226532414]
The quantum regression theorem states that the correlations of a system at two different times are governed by the same equations of motion as the temporal response of the average values.
Here we experimentally demonstrate that the two-time particle number correlations in a photon Bose-Einstein condensate inside a dye-filled microcavity exhibit the same dynamics as the response of the condensate to a sudden perturbation of the dye molecule bath.
This confirms the regression theorem for a quantum gas and, moreover, establishes a test of this relation in an unconventional form where the perturbation acts on the bath and only the condensate response is monitored.

In the noninteracting case, quantized Thouless pumps can only occur when a topological singularity is encircled adiabatically.
In the presence of interactions, such topological transport can even persist for exotic paths in which the system gets arbitrarily close to the noninteracting singularity.

We present a mechanism by which an initial state of a Rydberg atom array can retain persistent non-Gaussian correlations following a global quench.

A challenge in the standard collision model is how to describe quantum correlations among ancillas induced by successive system-ancilla interactions.
Here we develop a tensor network formalism to address both challenges.
In the case of the initially correlated ancillas, we construct a general tensor diagram for the system dynamics and derive a memory- kernel master equation.

Unavoidable coupling of quantum systems to external degrees of freedom leads to dissipative (non-unitary) dynamics.
We introduce a method to deal with these systems based on the calculation of (dissipative) lattice Green's function.
We illustrate the power of this method with several examples of driven-dissipative bosonic chains of increasing complexity.

We study how the probability of presence of a particle is distributed between the two parts of a composite fermionic system.
We prove that it is a non-perturbative property and we find out a large/small coupling constant duality.
Inspired by the proof of KAM theorem, we are able to deal with this problem by introducing a cut-off in energies that eliminates these small denominators.
