• Abstract summary: We investigate whether classical hydrodynamic field theories can predict the long-time dynamics of many-particle quantum systems. Based on a field theoretical analysis and symmetry arguments, we map each operator in the spin model to corresponding fields in hydrodynamics. We illustrate these findings by studying the time evolution of all 255 Hermitian operators which can be defined on four neighboring sites.

• Abstract: We systematically investigate whether classical hydrodynamic field theories can predict the long-time dynamics of many-particle quantum systems. As an example, we investigate numerically and analytically the time evolution of a chain of spins (or qubits) subject to a stroboscopic dynamics. The time evolution is implemented by a sequence of local and nearest-neighbor gates which conserve the total magnetization. The long-time dynamics of such a system is believed to be describable by a hydrodynamics field theory, which, importantly, includes the effect of noise. Based on a field theoretical analysis and symmetry arguments, we map each operator in the spin model to corresponding fields in hydrodynamics. This allows us to predict which expectation values decay exponentially, and which of them decay with a hydrodynamics long-time tail, $t^{-\alpha}$, with $\alpha=\frac{1}{2}, 1, \frac{3}{2}, \text{or } \frac{9}{4}$ for different operators. We illustrate these findings by studying the time evolution of all 255 Hermitian operators which can be defined on four neighboring sites. The numerical results are fully consistent with the emergence of hydrodynamics at long times.

Recently, ergodicity breaking has been observed in systems subjected to linear potentials, termed Stark many-body localization. Here, we experimentally explore initial-state dependent dynamics using a ladder-type superconducting processor with up to 24 qubits.

  Berry phases have long been known to significantly alter the properties of periodic systems. In non-Hermitian systems, generalizations of the Berry connection have been proposed and shown to have novel effects on dynamics and transport. We show that the non-Hermiticities of both the band Hamiltonian and the external potential give rise to anomalous weight rate and velocity terms.

  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.
