Abstract: We investigate the spin dynamics of a dipole-coupled system by comparing a direct solution of the Schrodinger equation for quantum spins with simulations of classical spins. Although classical spins have long been used in microscopic spin dynamics simulations, we demonstrate that their results differ significantly from those of quantum spins. Using Free Induction Decay as a benchmark, we find that while the overall patterns are qualitatively similar, significant discrepancies emerge at both short and long timescales. We trace these differences to fundamental distinctions in the two descriptions.

A three-leg ladder with an antiferromagnetic transition and magnetization curves is realized in a radical-Mn polymer.<n>Although the underlying spin model intrinsically supports strong quantum fluctuations, the real system shows an anomalously complete suppression of quantum behavior.<n>These findings provide a key experimental benchmark for the quantum-classical crossover and suggest that lattice topology can play a crucial role in tuning the balance between quantum and classical physics in strongly correlated systems.

We observe that quantum and classical spin glasses exhibit markedly different evolution. We show that spin glass order is resonantly enhanced when the frequency of the bosonic mediators of the interactions approaches the value of the transverse field.

Quantum-classical correspondence of strongly chaotic many-body spin models [0.0]
We study the quantum-classical correspondence for systems with interacting spin-particles that are strongly chaotic in the classical limit. Our analysis of the Lyapunov spectra reveals that the largest Lyapunov exponent agrees with the Lyapunov exponent. In the quantum domain, our analysis of the Hamiltonian matrix in a proper representation allows us to obtain the conditions for the onset of quantum chaos.

Probing dynamics of a two-dimensional dipolar spin ensemble using single qubit sensor [62.997667081978825]
We experimentally investigate individual spin dynamics in a two-dimensional ensemble of electron spins on the surface of a diamond crystal. We show that this anomalously slow relaxation rate is due to the presence of strong dynamical disorder. Our work paves the way towards microscopic study and control of quantum thermalization in strongly interacting disordered spin ensembles.

We discuss the onset of quantum chaos and thermalization in the two-mode Dicke model. The two-mode Dicke model exhibits normal to superradiant quantum phase transition. We show that the temporal fluctuations of the expectation value of the collective spin observable around its average are small and decrease with the effective system size.

Quantum vs classical dynamics in a spin-boson system: manifestations of spectral correlations and scarring [0.0]
We compare the classical and quantum evolutions of the Dicke model in its regular and chaotic domains. We identify features of the long-time dynamics that are purely quantum and discuss their impact on equilibration times. In the case of maximal quantum ergodicity, our results are analytical and show that quantum equilibration takes longer than classical equilibration.
