• Authors: Hansveer Singh, Romain Vasseur, Sarang Gopalakrishnan
• Abstract summary: We introduce and explore an interacting cellular automaton that lies outside the existing classification of such automata. The Fredkin staircase has two families of ballistically propagating quasiparticles, each with infinitely many species. We analytically construct an extensive set of operators that anticommute with the time-evolution operator.

• Abstract: We introduce and explore an interacting integrable cellular automaton, the Fredkin staircase, that lies outside the existing classification of such automata, and has a structure that seems to lie beyond that of any existing Bethe-solvable model. The Fredkin staircase has two families of ballistically propagating quasiparticles, each with infinitely many species. Despite the presence of ballistic quasiparticles, charge transport is diffusive in the d.c. limit, albeit with a highly non-gaussian dynamic structure factor. Remarkably, this model exhibits persistent temporal oscillations of the current, leading to a delta-function singularity (Drude peak) in the a.c. conductivity at nonzero frequency. We analytically construct an extensive set of operators that anticommute with the time-evolution operator; the existence of these operators both demonstrates the integrability of the model and allows us to lower-bound the weight of this finite-frequency singularity.

  We show how a laser driven two-level system can be decoupled into a set of equations acting only on the external degrees of freedom for each state. We give a way of characterizing the solvability of this family of problems by appealing to a classical oscillator with time-dependent damping. We show that chirping of the driving fields phase emerges naturally as a means of compensating the Ehrenfest/mean-value part of the detuning operator's dynamics.

  A recent Google Quantum AI experiment demonstrated the persistence of such collective excitations even when the integrability is broken. We study the spectrum of the model realized in the experiment using exact diagonalization and physical arguments. We find that isolated bands corresponding to the descendants of the exact bound states of the integrable model are clearly observable in the spectrum for a large range of system sizes.

  We analyze the spectral and transport properties of the interacting disordered Tavis-Cummings model at half excitation filling. We find that the bipartite entanglement entropy grows logarithmically with time. We show that these effects are due to the combination of finite interactions and integrability of the model.

• Growth of entanglement of generic states under dual-unitary dynamics [77.34726150561087]
  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.

  We show that imaginary scalar potentials do not open band gaps but lead to the formation of exceptional points. The imaginary vector potentials hinder the separation of low energy bands because of the lifting of degeneracy in the free system. We reproduce the dispersion relations of the continuum model when the complex scalar potential is sufficiently large.

• Semiclassical dynamics of a disordered two-dimensional Hubbard model with long-range interactions [0.0]
  We analyze Quench dynamics in a two-dimensional system of interacting fermions. For a weak and moderate disorder strength, we observe subdiffusive behavior of charges, while spins exhibit diffusive dynamics. In contrast to the short-range model, strong inhomogeneities such as domain walls in the initial state can significantly slow down thermalization dynamics.
