• Abstract summary: We introduce a temperature-dependent normalization of the classical moments, whose magnitude is determined by imposing the quantum sum rule. We show that this simple renormalization scheme significantly improves the agreement between the calculated and measured $S(mathbfq, omega)$ for FeI$_2$ at all temperatures.

• Abstract: Simulating quantum spin systems at finite temperatures is an open challenge in many-body physics. This work studies the temperature-dependent spin dynamics of a pivotal compound, FeI$_2$, to determine if universal quantum effects can be accounted for by a phenomenological renormalization of the dynamical spin structure factor $S(\mathbf{q}, \omega)$ measured by inelastic neutron scattering. Renormalization schemes based on the quantum-to-classical correspondence principle are commonly applied at low temperatures to the harmonic oscillators describing normal modes. However, it is not clear how to extend this renormalization to arbitrarily high temperatures. Here we introduce a temperature-dependent normalization of the classical moments, whose magnitude is determined by imposing the quantum sum rule, i.e. $\int d\omega d\mathbf{q} S(\mathbf{q}, \omega) = N_S S (S+1)$ for $N_S$ dipolar magnetic moments. We show that this simple renormalization scheme significantly improves the agreement between the calculated and measured $S(\mathbf{q}, \omega)$ for FeI$_{2}$ at all temperatures. Due to the coupled dynamics of dipolar and quadrupolar moments in that material, this renormalization procedure is extended to classical theories based on SU(3) coherent states, and by extension, to any SU(N) coherent state representation of local multipolar moments.

  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.

The first two moments of $P(mathcalM)$ show superdiffusive behavior, a hallmark of KPZ. The third and fourth moments rule out the KPZ conjecture and allow for evaluating other theories.

  A quantum simulation of magnetism in trapped-ion systems makes use of the crystal vibrations to mediate pairwise interactions between spins. These interactions can be accounted for by a long-wavelength relativistic theory, where the phonons are described by a coarse-grained Klein-Gordon field. We show that thermal effects, which can be controlled by laser cooling, can unveil this flow through the appearance of thermal masses in interacting QFTs.

We show that the finite temperature QFI can generally be expressed in terms of a static structure factor of the system. We show that multipartite entanglement in the Heisenberg chain diverges non-trivially as $sim log (1/T)3/2$.

  The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) offers a universal mechanism for the approach to equilibrium of closed quantum many-body systems. Here, we propose a theory-independent route to probe the full ETH in quantum simulators by observing the emergence of fluctuation-dissipation relations. Our work presents a theory-independent way to characterize thermalization in quantum simulators and paves the way to quantum simulate condensed matter pump-probe experiments.

• Superdiffusion from emergent classical solitons in quantum spin chains [0.0]
  Finite-temperature spin transport in the quantum Heisenberg spin chain is superdiffusive, and has been conjectured to lie in the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class. We compute the KPZ coupling strength for the Heisenberg chain as a function of temperature, directly from microscopics. We conclude that KPZ has the same origin in classical and quantum integrable isotropic magnets: a finite-temperature gas of low-energy classical solitons.
