- Authors: Debabrata Mondal, Sudip Sinha, and Subhasis Sinha
- Abstract summary: We discuss the manifestation of phase space dynamics on local ergodic behavior of its quantum counterpart and quantum scarring phenomena.
A transition to chaos occurs by increasing the kicking strength, and in the mixed phase space, the islands of regular motions within the chaotic sea clearly exhibit deviation from ergodicity.
Interestingly, the reminiscence of unstable orbits and fixed points can be identified as scars in quantum states, exhibiting athermal behavior and violation of Berry's conjecture for ergodic states.

- Abstract: Unlike classical system, understanding ergodicity from phase space mixing
remains unclear for interacting quantum systems due to the absence of phase
space trajectories. By considering an interacting spin model known as kicked
coupled top, we elucidate the manifestation of phase space dynamics on local
ergodic behavior of its quantum counterpart and quantum scarring phenomena. A
transition to chaos occurs by increasing the kicking strength, and in the mixed
phase space, the islands of regular motions within the chaotic sea clearly
exhibit deviation from ergodicity, which we quantify from entanglement entropy
and survival probability. Interestingly, the reminiscence of unstable orbits
and fixed points can be identified as scars in quantum states, exhibiting
athermal behavior and violation of Berry's conjecture for ergodic states. We
also discuss the detection of quantum scars by a newly developed method of
'out-of-time-order correlators', which has experimental relevance.

We study Thouless pumps, i.e., adiabatic topological transport, in an interacting spin chain described by the dimerized XXZ Hamiltonian.
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 singularity.

We identify coherent quantum oscillations induced by such superpositions in observables complementary to the one involved in symmetry breaking.
In addition to the obvious fundamental significance of a superposition of different broken symmetry states, quantum coherent oscillations can be used to verify unitarity and test for imperfections of the experimental implementations of quantum simulators.
