• Title: Weak integrability breaking perturbations of integrable models
• Authors: Federica Maria Surace, Olexei Motrunich,
• Abstract summary: A quantum integrable system slightly perturbed away from integrability is typically expected to thermalize on timescales of order $tausim lambda-2$. We study classes of perturbations that violate this scaling, and exhibit much longer thermalization times. Our framework explains the previously observed evidence of weak integrability breaking in the Heisenberg and XXZ chains under certain perturbations.

• Abstract: A quantum integrable system slightly perturbed away from integrability is typically expected to thermalize on timescales of order $\tau\sim \lambda^{-2}$, where $\lambda$ is the perturbation strength. We here study classes of perturbations that violate this scaling, and exhibit much longer thermalization times $\tau\sim \lambda^{-2\ell}$ where $\ell>1$ is an integer. Systems with these "weak integrability breaking" perturbations have an extensive number of quasi-conserved quantities that commute with the perturbed Hamiltonian up to corrections of order $\lambda^\ell$. We demonstrate a systematic construction to obtain families of such weak perturbations of a generic integrable model for arbitrary $\ell$. We then apply the construction to various models, including the Heisenberg, XXZ, and XYZ chains, the Hubbard model, models of spinless free fermions, and the quantum Ising chain. Our analytical framework explains the previously observed evidence of weak integrability breaking in the Heisenberg and XXZ chains under certain perturbations.

• Scar-induced imbalance in staggered Rydberg ladders [0.0]
  We show that the kinematically-constrained model of Rydberg atoms on a two-leg ladder with staggered detuning has quantum many-body scars (QMBS) in its spectrum. QMBS result in coherent many-body revivals and site-dependent magnetization dynamics for both N'eel and Rydberg vacuum initial states around $Delta=1$.

  We investigate the dynamics of the R'enyi Operator Spaceanglement ($OSE$) entropies $S_n$ across several one-dimensional integrable and chaotic models. Our numerical results reveal that the R'enyi $OSE$ entropies of diagonal operators with nonzero trace saturate at long times. In finite-size integrable systems, $S_n$ exhibit strong revivals, which are washed out when integrability is broken.

  We consider a class of Heisenberg all-to-all coupled spin models inspired by neutrino interactions in a supernova with $N$ degrees of freedom. These models are characterized by a coupling matrix that is relatively simple in the sense that there are only a few, relative to $N$, non-trivial eigenvalues.

• Slowly decaying zero mode in a weakly non-integrable boundary impurity model [40.2428948628001]
  This work considers an impurity model -- TFIM perturbed by a boundary integrability breaking interaction. For sufficiently large transverse field, but in the ordered phase of the TFIM, the zero mode is observed to decay. A toy model for the decay is constructed in Krylov space and it is highlighted how Fermi's Golden Rule may be recovered from this toy model.

  We consider a system of interacting spinless fermions on a two-leg triangular ladder with $pi/2$ magnetic flux per triangular plaquette. Microscopically, the system exhibits a U(1) symmetry corresponding to the conservation of total fermionic charge, and a discrete $mathbbZ$ symmetry. At the intersection of the three phases, the system features a critical point with an emergent SU(2) symmetry.

The Fredkin staircase has two families of ballistically propagating quasiparticles, each with infinitely many species. We analytically construct an extensive set of operators that anticommute with the time-evolution operator.

  Generalized $eta$-pairing mechanism permits construction of eigenstates that feature off-diagonal long-range order and magnetic long-range order. We show that these exact eigenstates constitute integrable subsectors in which the Hubbard Hamiltonian effectively reduces to a non-interacting model.

  Heisenberg-comb acts on a Hilbert space with only two qubits per spatial lattice site. We show that the model reproduces the universal step-scaling function of the traditional model up to correlation lengths of 200,000 in lattice units. We argue that near-term quantum computers may suffice to demonstrate freedom.
