We review the mathematical speed limits on quantum information processing in many-body systems. After the proof of the Lieb-Robinson Theorem in 1972, the past two decades have seen substantial developments in its application to other…
Strong disorder often has drastic consequences for quantum dynamics. This is best illustrated by the phenomenon of Anderson localization in non-interacting systems, where destructive quantum wave interference leads to the complete absence…
Repulsive laser potential pulses applied to vortex lattices of rapidly rotating Bose-Einstein condensates create propagating density waves which we have observed experimentally and modeled computationally to high accuracy. We have observed…
Interacting quantum many-body systems are usually expected to thermalise, in the sense that the evolution of local expectation values approach a stationary value resembling a thermal ensemble. This intuition is notably contradicted in…
The problem of the lattice diffusion of two particles coupled by a contact repulsive interaction is solved by finding analytical expressions of the two-body probability characteristic function. The interaction induces anomalous drift with a…
Physical interactions generally respect certain symmetries, such as reciprocity and energy conservation, which survive in coarse grained isothermal descriptions. Active many-body systems usually break such symmetries intrinsically, on the…
In this work, we prove a new family of Lieb-Robinson bounds for lattice spin systems with long-range interactions. Our results apply for arbitrary $k$-body interactions, so long as they decay with a power-law greater than $kd$, where $d$ is…

The speed of light $c$ sets a strict upper bound on the speed of information transfer in both classical and quantum systems. In nonrelativistic quantum systems, the Lieb-Robinson Theorem imposes an emergent speed limit $v \hspace{-0.2mm}…

We describe a general procedure to give effective continuous descriptions of quantum lattice systems in terms of quantum fields. There are two key novelties of our method: firstly, it is framed in the hamiltonian setting and applies equally…
We consider the dynamics of the Bose-Hubbard model on general lattices and prove a Lieb-Robinson bound for observables whose supports are separated by an initially almost particle-free region. We further obtain a maximal velocity bound for…

Combined with Laughlin's argument on the quantized Hall conductivity, Lieb-Schultz-Mattis argument is extended to quantum many-particle systems (including quantum spin systems) with a conserved particle number, on a periodic lattice in…
We model the expansion of an interacting atomic Bose-Einstein condensate in a disordered lattice with a nonlinear diffusion equation normally used for a variety of classical systems. We find approximate solutions of the diffusion equation…
We consider a general class of spatially local non-Markovian open quantum lattice models, with a bosonic environment that is approximated as Gaussian. Under the assumption of a finite environment memory time, formalized as a finite total…

The propagation of an external transverse magnetic signal acting locally on a 1d chain of spins generates a disturbance which runs through the system. This quantum effect can be interpreted as a classical traveling wave which contains a…
In locally interacting quantum many-body systems, the velocity of information propagation is finitely bounded and a linear light cone can be defined. Outside the light cone, the amount of information rapidly decays with distance. When…
