• Abstract: Observables of out-of-equilibrium quantum many-body systems display complex temporal behavior that encodes the underlying physical mechanisms but typically resists straightforward interpretations. We introduce recurrence analysis - a nonlinear time-series analysis framework long established for classical dynamical systems - to investigate correlated quantum many-body dynamics. Recurrence plots provide a qualitative fingerprint of simulated or experimental data, while recurrence quantification analysis extracts corresponding numerical descriptors. Applying this framework to quenches from the paramagnetic ground state in the one-dimensional transverse-field Ising model, we observe a clear progression in the recurrence plots of two-site correlations: nearly periodic patterns in the deeply ferromagnetic phase give way to multiscale temporal structures at criticality. Recurrence quantifiers further recover the critical field strength without prior knowledge of the model, establishing recurrence analysis as a versatile tool for characterizing quantum many-body dynamics, including unsupervised detection of quantum phase transitions.

  Recurrence time quantifies the duration required for a physical system to return to its initial state. In quantum systems with subspace measurements, recurrence times are governed by Anandan-Aharonov phases, yielding fractionally quantized recurrence times. Here, we establish universal lower and upper bounds for recurrence times in interacting spins.
