• Title: Many-body systems with spurious modular commutators
• Authors: Julian Gass, Michael Levin,
• Abstract summary: Recently, it was proposed that the chiral central charge of a gapped, two-dimensional quantum many-body system is proportional to a bulk ground state entanglement measure known as the modular commutator. While there is significant evidence to support this relation, we show in this paper that it is not universal. We give examples of lattice systems that have vanishing chiral central charge which nevertheless give nonzero "spurious" values for the modular commutator for arbitrarily large system sizes.

• Abstract: Recently, it was proposed that the chiral central charge of a gapped, two-dimensional quantum many-body system is proportional to a bulk ground state entanglement measure known as the modular commutator. While there is significant evidence to support this relation, we show in this paper that it is not universal. We give examples of lattice systems that have vanishing chiral central charge which nevertheless give nonzero "spurious" values for the modular commutator for arbitrarily large system sizes, in both one and two dimensions. Our examples are based on cluster states and utilize the fact that they can generate nonlocal modular Hamiltonians.

  The growth of the entanglement between a disjoint subsystem and its complement after a quantum quench is regarded as a dynamical chaos indicator. We show that for almost all dual unitary circuits the entanglement dynamics agrees with what is expected for chaotic systems. Despite having many conserved charges, charge-conserving dual-unitary circuits are in general not Yang-Baxter integrable.

  We find a duality between open many-body systems governed by the Gorini-Kossakowski-Sudarshan-Lindblad (GKSL) equation. Under this duality, the identity operator on the open system side maps to the thermofield double state. We identify broad classes of many-body open systems with nontrivial explicit eigen operators $Q$ of the Lindbladian superoperator.
