- Authors: Maur\'icio Hippert, Gabriel T. Landi and Jorge Noronha
- Abstract summary: We consider a quantum many-body system subject to total momentum dephasing.
We show that momentum dephasing leads to a diffusive component in the dynamics of any local density, even far from equilibrium.
We also study the effects of dephasing in linear response, and show that it leads to a universal additive contribution to the diffusion constant.

- Abstract: The open dynamics of quantum many-body systems involve not only the exchange
of energy, but also of other conserved quantities, such as momentum. This leads
to additional decoherence, which may have a profound impact in the dynamics.
Motivated by this, we consider a many-body system subject to total momentum
dephasing and show that under very general conditions this leads to a diffusive
component in the dynamics of any local density, even far from equilibrium. Such
component will usually have an intricate interplay with the unitary dynamics.
To illustrate this, we consider the case of a superfluid and show that momentum
dephasing introduces a damping in the sound-wave dispersion relation, similar
to that predicted by the Navier-Stokes equation for ordinary fluids. Finally,
we also study the effects of dephasing in linear response, and show that it
leads to a universal additive contribution to the diffusion constant, which can
be obtained from a Kubo formula.

We show that the randomness of chaotic eigenstates in interacting quantum systems hides subtle correlations imposed by their finite energy per particle.
These correlations are revealed when Berrys approach for chaotic eigenfunctions in single-particle systems is lifted into many-body space.
We then identify the universality of both the cross-correlations and the Gaussian distribution of expansion coefficients as the signatures of chaotic eigenstates.

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.
