Bounds on Information Propagation in Disordered Quantum Spin Chains

Quantum Physics 2011-07-22 v3

Abstract

We investigate the propagation of information through the disordered XY model. We find, with a probability that increases with the size of the system, that all correlations, both classical and quantum, are suppressed outside of an effective lightcone whose radius grows at most polylogarithmically with |t|.
