• Abstract: We investigate the spread complexity of quantum quenches in generalized and long-range Aubry-Andre-Harper (AAH) models, encompassing regimes with and without mobility edges. In particular, in the generalized AAH models supporting energy-dependent mobility edges, we demonstrate that the long-time averaged spread complexity exhibits nonanalytic behavior when the post-quench quasiperiodic potential crosses the mobility edge associated with the energy of the initial eigenstate, thereby accurately identifying the mobility-edge transition. Such a behavior is supported by the spreading of local density of states. We further derive analytical expressions for the moments and the corresponding Lanczos coefficients for quenches between the limits of vanishing and strong quasiperiodic potentials. The Lanczos coefficients display qualitatively distinct behavior depending on the presence of mobility edges - they exhibit an initial plateau followed by a decay with the Krylov basis index, in contrast to the nearly constant behavior of the conventional AAH model without mobility edges. For LR hopping, the coefficients decay with the Krylov basis index for quenches from the localized to the extended phase, while they coincide with the AAH results for quenches in the opposite direction.

  We present the analysis of the slowing down exhibited by dynamics of a ring-exchange model on a square lattice. We find the preservation of coarse-grained memory of initial state of density-wave types for unexpectedly long times. We argue that its slow melting plays a crucial role in the slowing-down mechanism.

  We show that introduction of harmonic and spin-dependent linear potentials sufficiently validates fTWA for longer times. In particular, we focus on a finite two-dimensional system and show that at intermediate linear potential strength, the addition of a harmonic potential and spin dependence of the tilt, results in subdiffusive dynamics.

  We analyze Quench dynamics in a two-dimensional system of interacting fermions. For a weak and moderate disorder strength, we observe subdiffusive behavior of charges, while spins exhibit diffusive dynamics. In contrast to the short-range model, strong inhomogeneities such as domain walls in the initial state can significantly slow down thermalization dynamics.
