Topology and broken symmetry in Floquet systems

F Harper, R Roy, MS Rudner… - Annual Review of …, 2020 - annualreviews.org
Floquet systems are governed by periodic, time-dependent Hamiltonians. Prima facie they
should absorb energy from the external drives involved in modulating their couplings and …

A review of quantum cellular automata

T Farrelly - Quantum, 2020 - quantum-journal.org
Discretizing spacetime is often a natural step towards modelling physical systems. For
quantum systems, if we also demand a strict bound on the speed of information propagation …

Quantum circuits assisted by local operations and classical communication: Transformations and phases of matter

L Piroli, G Styliaris, JI Cirac - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
We introduce deterministic state-transformation protocols between many-body quantum
states that can be implemented by low-depth quantum circuits followed by local operations …

Bounds in nonequilibrium quantum dynamics

Z Gong, R Hamazaki - International Journal of Modern Physics B, 2022 - World Scientific
We review various bounds concerning out-of-equilibrium dynamics in few-level and many-
body quantum systems. We primarily focus on closed quantum systems but will also mention …

Floquet codes and phases in twist-defect networks

J Sullivan, R Wen, AC Potter - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
We introduce a class of models, dubbed paired twist-defect networks, that generalize the
structure of Kitaev's honeycomb model for which there is a direct equivalence between:(i) …

Quantifying information scrambling via classical shadow tomography on programmable quantum simulators

M McGinley, S Leontica, SJ Garratt, J Jovanovic… - Physical Review A, 2022 - APS
We develop techniques to probe the dynamics of quantum information and implement them
experimentally on an IBM superconducting quantum processor. Our protocols adapt shadow …

Topological lower bound on quantum chaos by entanglement growth

Z Gong, L Piroli, JI Cirac - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
A fundamental result in modern quantum chaos theory is the Maldacena-Shenker-Stanford
upper bound on the growth of out-of-time-order correlators, whose infinite-temperature limit …

A converse to Lieb–Robinson bounds in one dimension using index theory

D Ranard, M Walter, F Witteveen - Annales Henri Poincaré, 2022 - Springer
Unitary dynamics with a strict causal cone (or “light cone”) have been studied extensively,
under the name of quantum cellular automata (QCAs). In particular, QCAs in one dimension …

Frobenius light cone and the shift unitary

C Yin, A Lucas, DT Stephen - Physical Review A, 2024 - APS
We bound the time necessary to implement the shift unitary on a one-dimensional ring, both
by using local Hamiltonians and those with power-law interactions. This time is constrained …

Coarse-grained entanglement and operator growth in anomalous dynamics

Z Gong, A Nahum, L Piroli - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
In two-dimensional Floquet systems, many-body localized dynamics in the bulk may give
rise to a chaotic evolution at the one-dimensional edges that is characterized by a nonzero …
