- Abstract: We derive generalized quantum speed limit inequalities that represent
limitations on the time evolution of quantum states. They are extensions of the
original inequality and are applied to the overlap between the time-evolved
state and an arbitrary state. We can discuss the lower limit of the overlap, in
addition to the upper limit as in the original inequality, which allows us to
estimate the minimum time for the evolution toward a target state. The
inequalities are written by using an arbitrary reference state and are flexibly
used to obtain a tight bound. We demonstrate these properties by using the
twisted Landau-Zener model, the Grover Hamiltonian, and a
periodically-oscillating Hamiltonian.

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.

In contrast to the basic Mandelstam-Tamm inequality, we are concerned with a subspace subject to the Schroedinger evolution.
By using the concept of maximal angle between subspaces we derive optimal bounds on the speed of such a subspace evolution.
These bounds may be viewed as further generalizations of the Mandelstam-Tamm inequality.

We show for the first time that the speed of the expectation value of an observable defined on an arbitrary graph is bounded by the "gradient" of the observable.
Unlike previous bounds, the speed limit decreases when the expectation value of the transition Hamiltonian increases.

The reverse quantum speed limit (RQSL) gives an upper limit to the time for evolution between initial and final quantum states.
We show that, in conjunction with the existence of a minimum time scale, the RQSL implies a lower limit to the norm of the change in a quantum state.

It is argued that the Schr"odinger equation does not yield a correct description of the quantum-mechanical time evolution of states of isolated (open) systems featuring events.
A precise general law for the time evolution of states replacing the Schr"odinger equation is formulated within the so-called ETH-Approach to Quantum Mechanics.

In the present work, we are concerned not with a single state but with a whole (possibly infinite-dimensional) subspace of the system states that are subject to the Schroedinger evolution.
We derive an optimal estimate on the speed of such a subspace evolution that may be viewed as a natural generalization of the Fleming bound.
