• Title: Markovianity and non-Markovianity of Particle Bath with Dirac Dispersion Relation
• Authors: Takano Taira, Naomichi Hatano, Akinori Nishino,
• Abstract summary: We study the spontaneous emission of a single Dirac particle within an environment characterized by an energy spectrum with a gap $m$ and an energy cutoff $L$. Our results reveal that high-energy structures, such as the spectral cutoff $L$, play a critical role in driving the short-time non-exponential decay. Surprisingly, we find that in the limits where the energy cutoff $L$ is infinite and the energy gap $m$ is zero, the decay dynamics of massless Dirac particles exhibit Markovian behavior.

• Abstract: The decay rate of quantum particles in open quantum systems has traditionally been known as exponential, based on empirical predictions from experiments and theoretical predictions from the Markovian dynamics of the corresponding quantum states. However, both theoretical predictions and experimental observations suggest deviations from this exponential decay, particularly in the short and long time regimes. In this study, we explore the spontaneous emission of a single Dirac particle within an environment characterized by an energy spectrum with a gap $m$ and an energy cutoff $L$. Our results reveal that high-energy structures, such as the spectral cutoff $L$, play a critical role in driving the short-time non-exponential decay. In contrast, the long-time decay is predominantly influenced by low-energy structures, such as the Dirac gap $m$. Surprisingly, we find that in the limits where the energy cutoff $L$ is infinite and the energy gap $m$ is zero, the decay dynamics of massless Dirac particles exhibit Markovian behavior without the need for conventional approximations like the Born-Markov approximation. This work underscores the complex interplay between particle energy properties and decay dynamics, providing new insights into quantum decay processes.

• Spectral gaps of local quantum channels in the weak-dissipation limit [0.0]
  We consider the dynamics of generic chaotic quantum many-body systems with no conservation laws, subject to weak bulk dissipation. The generator of these dissipative dynamics, a quantum channel $mathcalE$, retains a nonzero gap as the dissipation strength $gamma to 0$ if the thermodynamic limit is taken first. We argue that the gap in the $gamma to 0$ limit can change nonanalytically as one tunes the parameters of the unitary dynamics.

• Observing super-quantum correlations across the exceptional point in a single, two-level trapped ion [48.7576911714538]
  In two-level quantum systems - qubits - unitary dynamics theoretically limit these quantum correlations to $2qrt2$ or 1.5 respectively. Here, using a dissipative, trapped $40$Ca$+$ ion governed by a two-level, non-Hermitian Hamiltonian, we observe correlation values up to 1.703(4) for the Leggett-Garg parameter $K_3$. These excesses occur across the exceptional point of the parity-time symmetric Hamiltonian responsible for the qubit's non-unitary, coherent dynamics.

  We argue that the division between quantum and classical behaviors is analogous to the division of thermodynamic phases. A specific relationship between the collapse parameter $(lambda)$ and the collapse length scale ($r_C$) plays the role of the coexistence curve in usual thermodynamic phase diagrams.

• Universal scaling at a pre-thermal dark state [0.0]
  We discuss the universal dynamical scaling after a sudden quench of the non-Hermitian $O(N)$ model Hamiltonian. While universality is generally spoiled by non-Hermiticity, we find that for a given set of internal parameters short-time scaling behaviour is restored with an initial slip profoundly different from that of closed quantum systems.

• Super-exponential diffusion in nonlinear non-Hermitian systems [2.8572548342403024]
  We investigate the quantum diffusion of a periodically kicked particle subjecting to both nonlinearity induced self-interactions and $mathcalPT$-symmetric potentials. In the $mathcalPT$-symmetry-breaking phase, the intensity of a state increases exponentially with time, leading to the exponential growth of the interaction strength. The feedback of the intensity-dependent nonlinearity further turns the interaction energy into the kinetic energy, resulting in a super-exponential growth of the mean energy.

  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.

• Zitterbewegung and Klein-tunneling phenomena for transient quantum waves [77.34726150561087]
  We show that the Zitterbewegung effect manifests itself as a series of quantum beats of the particle density in the long-time limit. We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront. The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
