• Abstract: The description of strongly-correlated quantum many-body systems far-from equilibrium is intrinsically challenging due to the amount of information it requires. We introduce a generalization of the Jastrow ansatz for time-dependent wavefunctions, that provides an efficient and exact description of the time-evolution of a variety of systems exhibiting strong correlations. Exact solutions previously known are characterized by scale invariance, making the evolution of local correlations, such as the spatial density, self-similar. However, we find that a complex-valued time-dependent Jastrow ansatz (TDJA) is not restricted to scale-invariance and can describe processes lacking it. The associated time evolution is equivalent to the implementation of a shortcut to adiabaticity (STA) by counterdiabatic driving along a continuous manifold of quantum states described by a real-valued TDJA. Thus, our results provide the means to engineer exact STA in strongly-correlated many-body quantum systems lacking scale invariance. We illustrate our findings in systems with inverse-square interactions, such as the Calogero-Sutherland and the hyperbolic models, that are supplemented with pairwise logarithmic interactions. We further consider the dynamics of bosons subject to both contact and Coulomb interactions in one dimension, known as the long-range Lieb-Liniger model. Our results can be used to study the quench dynamics in all these models. Our findings provide a benchmark for numerical and quantum simulations of nonequilibrium strongly-correlated systems with continuous variables.

  A key conjecture about the evolution of complex quantum systems towards an ergodic steady state, known as scrambling, is that this process acquires universal features when it is most efficient. We develop a single- parameter scaling theory for the spectral statistics in this scenario, which embodies exact self-similarity of the spectral correlations along the complete scrambling dynamics. We establish that scaling predictions are matched by a privileged process, and serve as bounds for other dynamical scrambling scenarios, allowing one to quantify inefficient or incomplete scrambling on all timescales.

The correlations associated with scrambling of quantum information lie outside the standard framework established by the eigenstate thermalisation hypothesis (ETH) We establish the simplest correlation function that captures these correlations and discuss features of its behaviour that are expected to be universal at long distances and low energies.
