• Authors: Niklas Tausendpfund, Aditi Mitra, Matteo Rizzi,
• Abstract summary: In the opposite limit of infinite temperature, the corresponding non-integrable spin chains are known to host Almost Strong Zero Modes. Here, we study the fairly unexplored territory that bridges these two extreme cases of zero and infinite temperature. This allows us to efficiently simulate large system sizes for arbitrarily long timescales and to extract the temperature-dependent decay rates.

• Abstract: Interacting fermionic chains exhibit extended regions of topological degeneracy of their ground states as a result of the presence of Majorana or parafermionic zero modes localized at the edges. In the opposite limit of infinite temperature, the corresponding non-integrable spin chains, obtained via generalized Jordan-Wigner mapping, are known to host so-called Almost Strong Zero Modes, which are long-lived with respect to any bulk excitations. Here, we study the fairly unexplored territory that bridges these two extreme cases of zero and infinite temperature. We blend two established techniques for states, the Lanczos series expansion and a tensor network ansatz, uplifting them to the level of operator algebra. This allows us to efficiently simulate large system sizes for arbitrarily long timescales and to extract the temperature-dependent decay rates. We observe that for the Kitaev-Hubbard model, the decay rate of the edge mode depends exponentially on the inverse temperature $\beta$, and on an effective energy scale $\Delta_{\rm eff}$ that is greater than the thermodynamic gap of the system $\Delta$.

  We consider a class of Heisenberg all-to-all coupled spin models inspired by neutrino interactions in a supernova with $N$ degrees of freedom. These models are characterized by a coupling matrix that is relatively simple in the sense that there are only a few, relative to $N$, non-trivial eigenvalues.

• Decay rates of almost strong modes in Floquet spin chains beyond Fermi's Golden Rule [0.0]
  stability and dynamics of almost strong zero and $pi$ modes in weakly non-integrable Floquet spin chains are investigated. Perturbation theory in the strength of integrability-breaking interaction $J_z$ is employed to estimate the decay rates of these modes. For regimes where the decay rates are quadratic in $J_z$, an analytic expression for the decay rate in terms of an infinite temperature autocorrelation function of the integrable model is derived.

• Periodically driven Rydberg chains with staggered detuning [0.0]
  We study the stroboscopic dynamics of a driven finite Rydberg chain with staggered ($Delta$) and time-dependent uniform ($lambda(t)$) detuning terms using exact diagonalization (ED) We show that at intermediate drive ($omega_D$), the presence of a finite $Delta$ results in violation of the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) via clustering of Floquet eigenstates. The violation of ETH in these driven finite-sized chains is also evident from the dynamical freezing displayed by the density density correlation function at specific $omega_D
