• Abstract summary: We study the operator space entanglement entropy (OE) of 1D many-body models undergoing dissipative evolution. Under dephasing, after the initial 'rise and fall' the OE can rise again, increasing logarithmically at long times. We trace this behavior back to anomalous classical diffusion processes.

• Abstract: The operator space entanglement entropy, or simply 'operator entanglement' (OE), is an indicator of the complexity of quantum operators and of their approximability by Matrix Product Operators (MPO). We study the OE of the density matrix of 1D many-body models undergoing dissipative evolution. It is expected that, after an initial linear growth reminiscent of unitary quench dynamics, the OE should be suppressed by dissipative processes as the system evolves to a simple stationary state. Surprisingly, we find that this scenario breaks down for one of the most fundamental dissipative mechanisms: dephasing. Under dephasing, after the initial 'rise and fall' the OE can rise again, increasing logarithmically at long times. Using a combination of MPO simulations for chains of infinite length and analytical arguments valid for strong dephasing, we demonstrate that this growth is inherent to a $U(1)$ conservation law. We argue that in an XXZ spin-model and a Bose-Hubbard model the OE grows universally as $\frac{1}{4} \log_2 t$ at long times, and as $\frac{1}{2} \log_2 t$ for a Fermi-Hubbard model. We trace this behavior back to anomalous classical diffusion processes.

• Scar-induced imbalance in staggered Rydberg ladders [0.0]
  We show that the kinematically-constrained model of Rydberg atoms on a two-leg ladder with staggered detuning has quantum many-body scars (QMBS) in its spectrum. QMBS result in coherent many-body revivals and site-dependent magnetization dynamics for both N'eel and Rydberg vacuum initial states around $Delta=1$.

  We investigate the dynamics of the R'enyi Operator Spaceanglement ($OSE$) entropies $S_n$ across several one-dimensional integrable and chaotic models. Our numerical results reveal that the R'enyi $OSE$ entropies of diagonal operators with nonzero trace saturate at long times. In finite-size integrable systems, $S_n$ exhibit strong revivals, which are washed out when integrability is broken.

  We develop the theory of the Loschmidt echo and dynamical phase transitions in non-interacting strongly disordered Fermi systems after a quench. In finite systems the Loschmidt echo displays zeros in the complex time plane that depend on the random potential realization. We show that this dynamical phase transition can be understood as a transition in the distribution function of the smallest eigenvalue of the Loschmidt matrix.

  The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) offers a universal mechanism for the approach to equilibrium of closed quantum many-body systems. Here, we propose a theory-independent route to probe the full ETH in quantum simulators by observing the emergence of fluctuation-dissipation relations. Our work presents a theory-independent way to characterize thermalization in quantum simulators and paves the way to quantum simulate condensed matter pump-probe experiments.
