• Abstract: In this paper we will attempt to answer the following question: what are the natural quantum subsystems which emerge out of a system's dynamical laws? To answer this question we first define generalized tensor product structures (gTPS) in terms of observables, as dual pairs of an operator subalgebra $\cal A$ and its commutant. Second, we propose an operational criterion of minimal information scrambling at short time scales to dynamically select gTPS. In this way the emergent subsystems are those which maintain the longest informational identity. This strategy is made quantitative by defining a Gaussian scrambling rate in terms of the short-time expansion of an algebraic version of the Out of Time Order Correlation (OTOC) function i.e., the $\cal A$-OTOC. The Gaussian scrambling rate is computed analytically for physically important cases of general division into subsystems, and is shown to have an intuitive and compelling physical interpretation in terms of minimizing the interaction strength between subsystems.

• Tensor Product Structure Geometry under Unitary Channels [0.0]
  Locality is typically defined with respect to a product structure (TPS) which identifies the local subsystems of the quantum system. We show that this TPS distance is related to scrambling properties of the dynamics between the local subsystems and coincides with the power of entangling of 2-unitaries. For Hamiltonian evolutions at short times, the characteristic timescale of the TPS distance depends on scrambling rates determined by the strength of interactions between the local subsystems.

We conjecture and provide evidence for a general structure of the algebra that minimizes the average for non-resonant Hamiltonians.

  This paper is concerned with open quantum systems whose dynamic variables have an algebraic structure. The Hamiltonian and the operators of coupling the system to the external bosonic fields depend linearly on the system variables. We consider the decoherence time over the energy parameters of the system and obtain a condition under which the zero Hamiltonian provides a suboptimal solution.

• Overcoming exponential scaling with system size in Trotter-Suzuki implementations of constrained Hamiltonians: 2+1 U(1) lattice gauge theories [1.5675763601034223]
  For many quantum systems of interest, the classical computational cost of simulating their time evolution scales exponentially in the system size. quantum computers have been shown to allow for simulations of some of these systems using resources that scale exponentially with the system size. This work identifies a term in the Hamiltonian of a class of constrained systems that naively requires quantum resources that scale exponentially in the system size.

  We propose Graph Mechanics Network (GMN) which is efficient, equivariant and constraint-aware. GMN represents, by generalized coordinates, the forward kinematics information (positions and velocities) of a structural object. Extensive experiments support the advantages of GMN compared to the state-of-the-art GNNs in terms of prediction accuracy, constraint satisfaction and data efficiency.

  Unavoidable coupling of quantum systems to external degrees of freedom leads to dissipative (non-unitary) dynamics. We introduce a method to deal with these systems based on the calculation of (dissipative) lattice Green's function. We illustrate the power of this method with several examples of driven-dissipative bosonic chains of increasing complexity.

• Quantum scrambling of observable algebras [0.0]
  quantum scrambling is defined by how the associated physical degrees of freedom get mixed up with others by the dynamics. This is accomplished by introducing a measure, the geometric algebra anti-correlator (GAAC) of the self-orthogonalization of the commutant of $cal A$ induced by the dynamics. For generic energy spectrum we find explicit expressions for the infinite-time average of the GAAC which encode the relation between $cal A$ and the full system of Hamiltonian eigenstates.

• Quantum Relativity of Subsystems [58.720142291102135]
  We show that different reference frame perspectives induce different sets of subsystem observable algebras, which leads to a gauge-invariant, frame-dependent notion of subsystems and entanglement. Such a QRF perspective does not inherit the distinction between subsystems in terms of the corresponding tensor factorizability of the kinematical Hilbert space and observable algebra. Since the condition for this to occur is contingent on the choice of QRF, the notion of subsystem locality is frame-dependent.

  Out-of-time-orderors (OTOCs) have become established as a tool to characterise quantum information dynamics and thermalisation. We show explicitly that the OTOC is indeed a precise tool to explore the fine details of the Eigenstate Thermalisation Hypothesis (ETH) We provide an estimation of the finite-size scaling of $omega_textrmGOE$ for the general class of observables composed of sums of local operators in the infinite-temperature regime.

• Relevant OTOC operators: footprints of the classical dynamics [68.8204255655161]
  The OTOC-RE theorem relates the OTOCs summed over a complete base of operators to the second Renyi entropy. We show that the sum over a small set of relevant operators, is enough in order to obtain a very good approximation for the entropy. In turn, this provides with an alternative natural indicator of complexity, i.e. the scaling of the number of relevant operators with time.
