• Abstract summary: We derive two distinct quantum speed limits in Liouville space for dynamics beyond unitary. The first bound saturates for time-optimal CPTP dynamics, while the second bound is exact for all states and all CPTP dynamics. We show that the speed of evolution in Liouville space bounds the growth of the spectral form factor and Krylov complexity of states.

• Abstract: Traditional quantum speed limits formulated in density matrix space perform poorly for dynamics beyond unitary, as they are generally unattainable and fail to characterize the fastest possible dynamics. To address this, we derive two distinct quantum speed limits in Liouville space for Completely Positive and Trace-Preserving (CPTP) dynamics that outperform previous bounds. The first bound saturates for time-optimal CPTP dynamics, while the second bound is exact for all states and all CPTP dynamics. Our bounds have a clear physical and geometric interpretation arising from the uncertainty of superoperators and the geometry of quantum evolution in Liouville space. They can be regarded as the generalization of the Mandelstam-Tamm bound, providing uncertainty relations between time, energy, and dissipation for open quantum dynamics. Additionally, our bounds are significantly simpler to estimate and experimentally more feasible as they require to compute or measure the overlap of density matrices and the variance of the Liouvillian. We have also obtained the form of the Liouvillian, which generates the time-optimal (fastest) CPTP dynamics for given initial and final states. We give two important applications of our bounds. First, we show that the speed of evolution in Liouville space bounds the growth of the spectral form factor and Krylov complexity of states, which are crucial for studying information scrambling and quantum chaos. Second, using our bounds, we explain the Mpemba effect in non-equilibrium open quantum dynamics.

We show that the acceleration squared of a quantum evolution in projective space is upper bounded by the variance of the temporal rate of change of the Hamiltonian operator.

  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.

• Observing crossover between quantum speed limits [0.0]
  Two well-known quantum speed limits are the Mandelstam-Tamm and the Margolus-Levitin bounds. Here, we test concurrently both limits in a multi-level system by following the motion of a single atom in an optical trap. Our data reveal two different regimes: one where the Mandelstam-Tamm limit constrains the evolution at all times, and a second where a crossover to the Margolus-Levitin limit is manifested at longer times.

  Quantum computing may offer the opportunity to simulate strongly-interacting field theories, such as quantum chromodynamics, with physical time evolution.

We quantify the volume effects for various $1+1$D Minkowski-signature quantities and show that these can be a significant source of systematic uncertainty.
