Abstract

In local quantum circuits with charge conservation, we initialize the system in random product states and study the dynamics of the Renyi entanglement entropy RαR_\alpha. We rigorously prove that RαR_\alpha with Renyi index α>1\alpha>1 at time tt is O(tlnt)\le O(\sqrt{t\ln t}) if the transport of charges is diffusive. Very recent numerical results of Rakovszky et al. show that this upper bound is saturated (up to the sub-logarithmic correction) in random local quantum circuits with charge conservation.
