Lieb-Robinson bounds on $n$-partite connected correlation functions

Quantum Physics 2018-02-01 v2

Abstract

Lieb and Robinson provided bounds on how fast bipartite connected correlations can arise in systems with only short-range interactions. We generalize Lieb-Robinson bounds on bipartite connected correlators to multipartite connected correlators. The bounds imply that an nn-partite connected correlator can reach unit value in constant time. Remarkably, the bounds also allow for an nn-partite connected correlator to reach a value that is exponentially large with system size in constant time, a feature which stands in contrast to bipartite connected correlations. We provide explicit examples of such systems.
