- Title: Dynamics of Pseudoentanglement
- Authors: Xiaozhou Feng, Matteo Ippoliti,
- Abstract summary: We study the generation and propagation of pseudoentanglement.
We examine (i) how a pseudoentangled ensemble spreads to the whole system as a function of time, and (ii) how a pseudoentangled ensemble is generated from an initial product state.

- Abstract: The dynamics of quantum entanglement plays a central role in explaining the emergence of thermal equilibrium in isolated many-body systems. However, entanglement is notoriously hard to measure, and can in fact be forged: recent works have introduced a notion of pseudoentanglement describing ensembles of many-body states that, while only weakly entangled, cannot be efficiently distinguished from states with much higher entanglement, such as random states in the Hilbert space. In this work we initiate the study of the dynamical generation and propagation of pseudoentanglement. As generic quantum dynamics tends to maximize actual entanglement, we consider constrained models of time evolution: automaton (i.e. reversible classical) circuits that, when fed suitable input states, provably produce the "standard models" of pseudoentangled ensembles--uniformly random subset(-phase) states--at late times, a phenomenon we name 'pseudothermalization'. We examine (i) how a pseudoentangled ensemble on a small subsystem spreads to the whole system as a function of time, and (ii) how a pseudoentangled ensemble is generated from an initial product state. We map the above problems onto a family of classical Markov chains on subsets of the computational basis. The mixing times of such Markov chains are related to the time scales at which the states produced from the dynamics become indistinguishable from Haar-random states at the level of each statistical moment (or number of copies). Based on a combination of rigorous bounds and conjectures supported by numerics, we argue that each Markov chain's relaxation time and mixing time have different asymptotic behavior in the limit of large system size. This is a necessary condition for a cutoff phenomenon: an abrupt dynamical transition to equilibrium. We thus conjecture that our random circuits give rise to asymptotically sharp pseudothermalization transitions.

Isolated interacting quantum systems generally thermalize, yet there are several counterexamples for the breakdown of ergodicity.
Recently, ergodicity breaking has been observed in systems subjected to linear potentials, termed Stark many-body localization.

We study Thouless pumps, i.e., adiabatic topological transport, in an interacting spin chain described by the dimerized XXZ Hamiltonian.
In the noninteracting case, quantized Thouless pumps can only occur when a topological singularity is encircled adiabatically.
In the presence of interactions, such topological transport can even persist for exotic paths in which the system gets arbitrarily close to the singularity.

Dual-unitary circuits are a class of locally-interacting quantum many-body systems.
In particular, they admit a class of solvable" initial states for which, in the thermodynamic limit, one can access the full non-equilibrium dynamics.
We show that in this case the entanglement increment during a time step is sub-maximal for finite times, however, it approaches the maximal value in the infinite-time limit.

Quantum coherence of the initial product states in the uncoupled eigenbasis can be viewed as a resource for equilibration and approach to thermalization.
Results are given for four distinct perturbation strength regimes, the ultra-weak, weak, intermediate, and strong regimes.
Maximally coherent initial states thermalize for any perturbation strength in spite of the fact that in the ultra-weak perturbative regime the underlying eigenstates of the system have a tensor product structure and are not at all thermal-like.
