• Abstract: We investigate dynamics of a single mobile impurity immersed in a bath of Anderson localized particles and focus on the regime of relatively strong disorder and interactions. In that regime, the dynamics of the system is particularly slow, suggesting, at short times, an occurrence of many-body localization. Considering longer time scales, we show that the latter is a transient effect and that, eventually, the impurity spreads sub-diffusively and induces a gradual delocalization of the Anderson insulator. The phenomenology of the system in the considered regime of slow dynamics includes a sub-diffusive growth of mean square displacement of the impurity, power-law decay of density correlation functions of the Anderson insulator and a power-law growth of entanglement entropy in the system. We observe a similar regime of slow dynamics also when the disorder in the system is replaced by a sufficiently strong quasi-periodic potential.

• Stability of slow Hamiltonian dynamics from Lieb-Robinson bounds [0.0]
  We rigorously show that a local spin system giving rise to a slow Hamiltonian dynamics is stable against generic, even time-dependent, local perturbations. The stability of the slow dynamics follows from proving that the Lieb-Robinson bound for the dynamics of the total Hamiltonian is the sum of two contributions.

  We propose a simple-yet-effective self-supervised regularization term as a soft constraint that aligns the forward and backward trajectories predicted by a continuous graph neural network-based ordinary differential equation (GraphODE) It effectively imposes time-reversal symmetry to enable more accurate model predictions across a wider range of dynamical systems under classical mechanics. Experimental results on a variety of physical systems demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method.

• Enhanced many-body localization in a kinetically constrained model [0.0]
  Kinetic constraints lead to long-lived metastable states depending on initial conditions. We show that the system is highly prone to localization in the presence of uncorrelated disorder. Our work sheds light on the intricate interplay of kinetic constraints and localization and may provide additional control over many-body localized phases in the time domain.

• System-bath entanglement during Markovian relaxation of a fermionic impurity [0.0]
  We show that transient entanglement can be observed even in the weak coupling regime. This entanglement vanishes for long times, but is preserved over timescales comparable to the relaxation time. We relate the presence of such transient entanglement to the unitary character of the system-bath dynamics underlying the reduced Markovian description.

  Non-KAM systems offer a fast route to classical chaos through an abrupt breaking of invariant phase space tori. We employ out-of-time-order correlators (OTOCs) to study the dynamical sensitivity of a perturbed non-KAM system in the quantum limit. Our findings suggest that the short-time dynamics remain relatively more stable and show the exponential growth found in the literature for unstable fixed points.

  We show that introduction of harmonic and spin-dependent linear potentials sufficiently validates fTWA for longer times. In particular, we focus on a finite two-dimensional system and show that at intermediate linear potential strength, the addition of a harmonic potential and spin dependence of the tilt, results in subdiffusive dynamics.
