- Abstract: Entanglement asymmetry, which serves as a diagnostic tool for symmetry
breaking and a proxy for thermalization, has recently been proposed and studied
in the context of symmetry restoration for quantum many-body systems undergoing
a quench. In this Letter, we investigate symmetry restoration in various
symmetric random quantum circuits, particularly focusing on the U(1) symmetry
case. In contrast to non-symmetric random circuits where the U(1) symmetry of a
small subsystem can always be restored at late times, we reveal that symmetry
restoration can fail in U(1) symmetric circuits for certain small
symmetry-broken initial states in finite-size systems. In the early-time
dynamics, we observe an intriguing quantum Mpemba effect implying that symmetry
is restored faster when the initial state is more asymmetric. Furthermore, we
also investigate the entanglement asymmetry dynamics for SU(2) and $Z_{2}$
symmetric circuits and identify the presence and absence of the quantum Mpemba
effect for the corresponding symmetries, respectively. A unified understanding
of these results is provided through the lens of quantum thermalization with
conserved charges.

We show how, by tuning the initial state, the symmetry dynamics in free fermionic systems can display much richer behaviour than seen previously.
In particular, for certain classes of initial states, including ground states of free fermionic models with long-range couplings, the entanglement asymmetry can exhibit multiple crossings.

free-fermion systems [0.0]
The quantum Mpemba effect is the counter-intuitive non-equilibrium phenomenon wherein the dynamic restoration of a broken symmetry occurs more rapidly when the initial state exhibits a higher degree of symmetry breaking.
Here we focus on a two-dimensional free-fermion lattice employing the entanglement asymmetry as a measure of symmetry breaking.
We find that the quantum Mpemba effect is strongly affected by the size of the system in the transverse dimension, with the potential to either enhance or spoil the phenomenon depending on the initial states.

In extended quantum systems, quantifying how much a symmetry is broken is intrinsically bound to the subsystem of interest.
We introduce a subsystem measure of symmetry breaking that we dub entanglement asymmetry.
We find, expectedly, that larger is the subsystem, slower is the restoration, but also the counterintuitive result that more the symmetry is initially broken, faster it is restored.
