• Abstract: Motivated by recent experiments on Google's sycamore NISQ platform on the spin transport resulting from a non-unitary periodic boundary drive of an XXZ chain, we study a classical variant thereof by a combination of analytical and numerical means. We find the classical model reproduces the quantum results in remarkable detail, and provides an analytical handle on the nature and shape of the spin transport's three distinct regimes: ballistic (easy-plane), subdiffusive (isotropic) and insulating (easy-axis). Further, we show that this phenomenology is remarkably robust to the inclusion of bond disorder -- albeit that the transient dynamics approaching the steady states differs qualitatively between the clean and disordered cases -- providing an accessible instance of ballistic transport in a disordered setting.

  We find anomalous hydrodynamics in a spin-1/2 XXZ chain with power-law couplings. We quantify the degree of quantum chaos using the Kullback-Leibler divergence. This work offers another deep understanding of emergent anomalous transport phenomena in a wider range of non-integrable quantum many-body systems.

  We study an open Heisenberg XXZ spin chain with long-range Ising-type interaction. We find that the chain lengths for this transition are increasing with decreasing range of the Ising-type interactions between distant spins. The transition can be explained by the suppression of ferromagnetic domains at the edges of the chain.
