- Abstract: The concept of space-evolution (or space-time duality) has emerged as a
promising approach for studying quantum dynamics. The basic idea involves
exchanging the roles of space and time, evolving the system using a space
transfer matrix rather than the time evolution operator. The infinite-volume
limit is then described by the fixed points of the latter transfer matrix, also
known as influence matrices. To establish the potential of this method as a
bona fide computational scheme, it is important to understand whether the
influence matrices can be efficiently encoded in a classical computer. Here we
begin this quest by presenting a systematic characterisation of their
entanglement -- dubbed temporal entanglement -- in chaotic quantum systems. We
consider the most general form of space-evolution, i.e., evolution in a generic
space-like direction, and present two fundamental results. First, we show that
temporal entanglement always follows a volume law in time. Second, we identify
two marginal cases -- (i) pure space evolution in generic chaotic systems (ii)
any space-like evolution in dual-unitary circuits -- where R\'enyi entropies
with index larger than one are sub-linear in time while the von Neumann
entanglement entropy grows linearly. We attribute this behaviour to the
existence of a product state with large overlap with the influence matrices.
This unexpected structure in the temporal entanglement spectrum might be the
key to an efficient computational implementation of the space evolution.

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.

In the present work, we are concerned not with a single state but with a whole (possibly infinite-dimensional) subspace of the system states that are subject to the Schroedinger evolution.
We derive an optimal estimate on the speed of such a subspace evolution that may be viewed as a natural generalization of the Fleming bound.
