• Abstract: We study interaction-driven ultrafast dynamics in finite graphene flakes following an optical pump quench in an interacting tight-binding model. By comparing exact real-time evolution with simulations restricted to particle-hole excitation subspaces, we assess when relaxation can be captured by low-order many-body processes and when this is not sufficient. The single-particle orbital entropy provides a compact diagnostic for dynamic correlation growth. For the systems studied here, periodic graphene flakes are well described by low-order excitations, whereas confined geometries require substantial higher-order contributions even for relatively small interaction strengths. The quench protocol combines simple initial-state preparation with strongly correlated dynamics, identifying a promising benchmark problem for future quantum-computing simulations.
