Emergent decoherence induced by quantum chaos in a many-body system: A Loschmidt echo observation through NMR

CM Sánchez, AK Chattah, HM Pastawski - Physical Review A, 2022 - APS
In the long quest to identify and compensate the sources of decoherence in many-body
systems far from the ground state, the varied family of Loschmidt echoes (LEs) became an …

Absence of exponential sensitivity to small perturbations in nonintegrable systems of spins 1/2

BV Fine, TA Elsayed, CM Kropf, AS de Wijn - Physical Review E, 2014 - APS
We show that macroscopic nonintegrable lattices of spins 1/2, which are often considered to
be chaotic, do not exhibit the basic property of classical chaotic systems, namely …

Quantum echo dynamics in the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model

Irreversible dynamics in quantum many-body systems

M Schmitt, S Kehrein - Physical Review B, 2018 - APS
Irreversibility, despite being a necessary condition for thermalization, still lacks a sound
understanding in the context of isolated quantum many-body systems. In this Rapid …

Loschmidt echo in many-spin systems: a quest for intrinsic decoherence and emergent irreversibility

PR Zangara, HM Pastawski - Physica Scripta, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
If a magnetic polarization excess is locally injected in a crystal of interacting spins in thermal
equilibrium, this' excitation'would spread as consequence of spin–spin interactions. Such an …

Comparing the efficacy of solid and magic-echo refocusing sequences: Applications to 1H NMR echo spectroscopy of shale rock

GS Boutis, R Kausik - Solid State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, 2017 - Elsevier
Quantitative evaluation of the solid and viscous components of unconventional shale rock,
namely kerogen and bitumen, is important for understanding reservoir quality. Short …

Interaction-disorder competition in a spin system evaluated through the Loschmidt echo

PR Zangara, AD Dente, A Iucci, PR Levstein… - Physical Review B …, 2013 - APS
The interplay between interactions and disorder in closed quantum many-body systems is
relevant for thermalization phenomenon. In this paper, we address this competition in an …

Proliferation of effective interactions: Decoherence-induced equilibration in a closed many-body system

PR Zangara, D Bendersky, HM Pastawski - Physical Review A, 2015 - APS
We address the question of how weak perturbations, which are quite ineffective in small
many-body systems, can lead to decoherence and hence to irreversibility when they …
