• Abstract: We study the unitary dynamics of the bosonic quantum East model, a kinetically constrained lattice model which generalises the quantum East model to arbitrary occupation per site. We consider the semiclassical limit of large (but finite) site occupancy, so that the dynamics are approximated by an evolution equation of the Gross-Pitaevskii kind. This allows us to numerically study in detail system sizes of hundreds of sites. Like in the spin-$1/2$ case, we find two dynamical phases, an active one of fast thermalisation, and an inactive one of slow relaxation and absence of ergodicity on numerically accessible timescales. The location of this apparent ergodic to non-ergodic transition coincides with the localisation transition of the ground state. We further characterize states which are non-ergodic on all timescales in the otherwise ergodic regime.

  We investigate quench dynamics in a one-dimensional spin model, comparing both quantum and classical descriptions. Numerical simulations, supported by semi-analytical analysis, reveal that the relaxation of single-particle energies (global quantity) and on-site magnetization (local observable) occurs on a timescale independent of the system size $L$.

• Localised Dynamics in the Floquet Quantum East Model [0.0]
  We study the discrete-time version of the Quantum East model, an interacting quantum spin chain inspired by simple kinetically constrained models of classical glasses. Previous work has established that its continuous-time counterpart displays a disorder-free localisation transition signalled by the appearance of an exponentially large family of non-thermal, localised eigenstates. Our findings imply that the transition is currently observable in state-of-the-art platforms for digital quantum simulation.

• 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 discuss the onset of quantum chaos and thermalization in the two-mode Dicke model. The two-mode Dicke model exhibits normal to superradiant quantum phase transition. We show that the temporal fluctuations of the expectation value of the collective spin observable around its average are small and decrease with the effective system size.

  We study the dynamics of an initial end state in nonreciprocal Su-Schrieffer-Heeger models under open boundary conditions. We find that it is dynamically more robust than its Hermitian counterpart, because the non-Hermitian skin effect can suppress the part leaking to the bulk sites.

• 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.
