• Title: Localised Dynamics in the Floquet Quantum East Model
• Authors: Bruno Bertini, Pavel Kos, and Tomaz Prosen
• Abstract summary: We study the discrete-time version of the Quantum East model, an interacting quantum spin chain inspired by simple kinetically constrained models of classical glasses. Previous work has established that its continuous-time counterpart displays a disorder-free localisation transition signalled by the appearance of an exponentially large family of non-thermal, localised eigenstates. Our findings imply that the transition is currently observable in state-of-the-art platforms for digital quantum simulation.

• Abstract: We introduce and study the discrete-time version of the Quantum East model, an interacting quantum spin chain inspired by simple kinetically constrained models of classical glasses. Previous work has established that its continuous-time counterpart displays a disorder-free localisation transition signalled by the appearance of an exponentially large (in the volume) family of non-thermal, localised eigenstates. Here we combine analytical and numerical approaches to show that: i) The transition persists for discrete times, in fact, it is present for any finite value of the time step apart from a zero measure set; ii) It is directly detected by following the non-equilibrium dynamics of the fully polarised state. Our findings imply that the transition is currently observable in state-of-the-art platforms for digital quantum simulation.

We observe signatures of the classical Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition, as well as strong deviations from Kibble-Zurek scaling predictions. We digitally prepare the system in pairwise-entangled dimer states and image the transport of energy and vorticity during thermalization.

  We show that the photon count signal as well as the homodyne current allow to identify and characterize critical behavior at the time-crystal phase transition. The average time between these fluctuation events shows a power-law scaling with system size. We furthermore show that the time-integrated homodyne current can serve as a useful dynamical order parameter.

  In the quantum Zeno effect, quantum measurements can block the coherent oscillation of a two level system by freezing its state to one of the measurement eigenstates. We show that the onset of the Zeno regime is marked by a $textitcascade of transitions$ in the system dynamics as the measurement strength is increased.
