• Abstract: It is well established that the presence of single impurity can have a substantial impact on the transport properties of quantum many-body systems at low temperature. In this work, we investigate a close analog of this problem from the perspective of quantum information dynamics. We construct Brownian circuits and Clifford circuits consisting of a free fermion hopping term and a sole interaction. In both circuits, our findings reveal the emergence of operator scrambling. Notably, the growth of the operator can be mapped to the symmetric exclusion process in the presence of a source term localized at a single point. We demonstrate that in the one-dimensional system, both the operator and entanglement exhibit diffusive scaling. Conversely, in scenarios characterized by all-to-all hopping, the operator's size undergoes exponential growth, while the entanglement exhibits a linear increase over time.

• Entanglement Transition due to particle losses in a monitored fermionic chain [0.0]
  We study the dynamics of the entanglement entropy under quantum jumps that induce local particle losses in a model of free fermions hopping. We show that by tuning the system parameters, a measurement-induced entanglement transition occurs where the entanglement entropy scaling changes from logarithmic to area-law.

• Environment-Induced Information Scrambling Transition with Charge Conservations [6.659260341668616]
  In generic closed quantum systems, the complexity of operators increases under time evolution governed by the Heisenberg equation. When systems interact with an external environment, the system-environment coupling allows operators to escape from the system. This transition is known as the environment-induced information scrambling transition, originally proposed in Majorana fermion systems.

  In quantum many-body systems, interactions play a crucial role in the emergence of information scrambling. We show an escape-to-scrambling transition when tuning the interaction strength for fermions in three dimensions. Our predictions are validated using both a Brownian circuit with a single Majorana fermion per site and a solvable Brownian SYK model with a large local Hilbert space dimension.

  Signatures of localization have been observed in condensed matter and cold atomic systems. We propose a model of one-dimensional chain of non-interacting, spinless fermions coupled to a local ensemble of baths. We show that the steady state of the system undergoes a localization entanglement phase transition by tuning $p$ which remains stable in the presence of coherent hopping.

  We analyze the spectral and transport properties of the interacting disordered Tavis-Cummings model at half excitation filling. We find that the bipartite entanglement entropy grows logarithmically with time. We show that these effects are due to the combination of finite interactions and integrability of the model.

By placing microwave photons in adjacent qubit sites, we study the propagation of these excitations and observe their bound nature for up to 5 photons.

  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.

  We show that the Zitterbewegung effect manifests itself as a series of quantum beats of the particle density in the long-time limit. We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront. The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
