• Abstract: The discovery of chaotic quantum circuits with (partially) solvable dynamics has played a key role in our understanding of non-equilibrium quantum matter and, at the same time, has helped the development of concrete platforms for quantum computation. It was shown that solvability does not prevent the generation of chaotic dynamics, however, it imposes non-trivial constraints on the generated correlations. A natural question is then whether it is possible to gain insight into the generic case despite the latter being very hard to access. To address this question here we introduce a family of 'asymptotically solvable' quantum circuits where the solvability constraints only affect correlations on length scales beyond a tuneable threshold. This means that their dynamics are only solvable for long enough times: for times shorter than the threshold they are generic. We show this by computing both their dynamical correlations on the equilibrium (infinite temperature) state and their thermalisation dynamics following quantum quenches from compatible (asymptotically solvable) non-equilibrium initial states. The class of systems we introduce is generically ergodic but contains a non-interacting point, which we use to provide exact analytical results, complementing those of numerical experiments, on the non-solvable early time regime.

  interplay between symmetries and entanglement in out-of-equilibrium quantum systems is currently at the centre of an intense multidisciplinary research effort. We show that one can introduce a class of solvable states, which extends that of generic dual unitary circuits. In contrast to the known class of solvable states, which relax to the infinite temperature state, these states relax to a family of non-trivial generalised Gibbs ensembles.

  In systems of light emitters subject to single-emitter or two-emitter driving, the steady state perturbed away from the U(1) limit exhibits spin squeezing. Our main result is that in systems of light emitters subject to single-emitter or two-emitter driving, the steady state perturbed away from the U(1) limit generically exhibits spin squeezing.
