• Abstract summary: We introduce a class of quantum circuits that are unitary along three distinct "arrows of time" Two-point correlations in these dynamics are strictly confined to three directions in $ (1+1)$-dimensional spacetime. We extend our circuit construction to $2+1$ dimensions, where two-point correlation functions are confined to the one-dimensional edges of a tetrahedral light cone.

• Abstract: We introduce a novel class of quantum circuits that are unitary along three distinct "arrows of time". These dynamics share some of the analytical tractability of "dual-unitary" circuits, while exhibiting distinctive and richer phenomenology. We find that two-point correlations in these dynamics are strictly confined to three directions in $(1+1)$-dimensional spacetime -- the two light cone edges, $\delta x=\pm v\delta t$, and the static worldline $\delta x=0$. Along these directions, correlation functions are obtained exactly in terms of quantum channels built from the individual gates that make up the circuit. We prove that, for a class of initial states, entanglement grows at the maximum allowed speed up to an entropy density of at least one half of the thermal value, at which point it becomes model-dependent. Finally, we extend our circuit construction to $2+1$ dimensions, where two-point correlation functions are confined to the one-dimensional edges of a tetrahedral light cone -- a subdimensional propagation of information reminiscent of "fractonic" physics.

• Observing super-quantum correlations across the exceptional point in a single, two-level trapped ion [48.7576911714538]
  In two-level quantum systems - qubits - unitary dynamics theoretically limit these quantum correlations to $2qrt2$ or 1.5 respectively. Here, using a dissipative, trapped $40$Ca$+$ ion governed by a two-level, non-Hermitian Hamiltonian, we observe correlation values up to 1.703(4) for the Leggett-Garg parameter $K_3$. These excesses occur across the exceptional point of the parity-time symmetric Hamiltonian responsible for the qubit's non-unitary, coherent dynamics.

  We reformulate the technique of third quantization in a way that explicitly connects all three methods. We first show that our formulation reveals a fundamental dissipative symmetry present in all quadratic bosonic or fermionic Lindbladians. For bosons, we then show that the Wigner function and the characteristic function can be thought of as ''wavefunctions'' of the density matrix.

  We introduce a family of dual-unitary circuits in 1+1 dimensions. These circuits are quantum cellular automata which are invariant under the joint action of Lorentz and scale transformations. We observe that the dynamics of spaces with two or more particles differs from that of zero or one, suggesting the presence of black holes.

  For a spinless quantum particle in a one-dimensional box or an electromagnetic wave in a one-dimensional cavity, the respective Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions both lead to non-degenerate wave functions. In two spatial dimensions, the symmetry of the box or microstrip antenna is an important feature that has often been overlooked in the literature.

• Fractal, logarithmic and volume-law entangled non-thermal steady states via spacetime duality [0.0]
  We show how a duality transformation between space and time on one hand, and unitarity and non-unitarity on the other, can be used to realize steady state phases of non-unitary dynamics. In spacetime-duals of chaotic unitary circuits, this mapping allows us to uncover a non-thermal volume-law entangled phase. We also find novel steady state phases with emphfractal entanglement scaling.
