The Lieb-Robinson correlation function captures propagation of quantum correlations in a many-body system. We calculate the value of the leading order of the correlation function, not its bound, for a system of interacting qubits at early…
We show that, assuming that quantum mechanics holds locally, the finite speed of information is the principle that limits all possible correlations between distant parties to be quantum mechanical as well. Local quantum mechanics means that…
Strongly long-range interacting quantum systems---those with interactions decaying as a power-law $1/r^{\alpha}$ in the distance $r$ on a $D$-dimensional lattice for $\alpha\le D$---have received significant interest in recent years. They…
The Lieb-Robinson correlation function is the norm of a commutator between local operators acting on separate subsystems at different times. This provides a useful state-independent measure for characterizing the specifically quantum…
Lieb-Robinson-type bounds are reported for a large class of classical Hamiltonian lattice models. By a suitable rescaling of energy or time, such bounds can be constructed for interactions of arbitrarily long range. The bound quantifies the…
Scrambling in many-body quantum systems causes initially local observables to spread uniformly over the whole available Hilbert space under unitary dynamics, which in lattice systems causes exponential suppression of dynamical correlation…
We show that excitations of interacting quantum particles in lattice models always propagate with a finite speed of sound. Our argument is simple yet general and shows that by focusing on the physically relevant observables one can…
Starting from a product initial state, equal-time correlations in nonrelativistic quantum lattice models propagate within a lightcone-like causal region. The presence of entanglement in the initial state can modify this behavior, enhancing…
We investigate the entanglement dynamics between two distant qubits by analyzing correlations in the quantum Ising model. Starting from the spin system in a paramagnetic regime enforced by the external magnetic field $B$, we then switch on…
Using local density correlation functions for a one-dimensional spin system, we introduce a correlation function difference (CFD) which compares correlations on a given site between a full system of size $L$ and its restriction to $\ell<L$…
The dynamics of quantum systems strongly depends on the local structure of the Hamiltonian. For short-range interacting systems, the well-known Lieb-Robinson bound defines the effective light cone with an exponentially small error with…
We derive a Lieb-Robinson bound for the propagation of spin correlations in a model of spins interacting through a bosonic lattice field, which satisfies itself a Lieb-Robinson bound in the absence of spin-boson couplings. We apply these…
Area laws are a far-reaching consequence of the locality of physical interactions, and they are relevant in a range of systems, from black holes to quantum many-body systems. Typically, these laws concern the entanglement entropy or the…
Most quantum gate errors can be characterized by two error models, namely the probabilistic error model and the Kraus error model. We proved that for a quantum circuit with either of those two models or a mix of both, the propagation error…
Thermalization of chaotic quantum many-body systems under unitary time evolution is related to the growth in complexity of initially simple Heisenberg operators. Operator growth is a manifestation of information scrambling and can be…
We consider two distant spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ particles (or qubits) and a number of interacting objects, all with the same value $S\gg1$ of their respective spin, distributed on a one-dimensional lattice (or large-$S$ spin chain). The quantum…
We study the diffusion phenomena on the negatively curved surface made up of congruent heptagons. Unlike the usual two-dimensional plane, this structure makes the boundary increase exponentially with the distance from the center, and hence…
We theoretically study propagating correlation fronts in non-interacting fermions on a one-dimensional lattice starting from an alternating state, where the fermions occupy every other site. We find that, in the long-time asymptotic regime,…
We study a driven-dissipative model of spins one-half (qubits) on a lattice with nearest-neighbor interactions. Focusing on the role of spatially extended spin-spin correlations in determining the phases of the system, we characterize the…
We consider a quantum spin chain with nearest neighbor interactions and sparsely distributed on-site impurities. We prove commutator bounds for its Heisenberg dynamics which incorporate the coupling strengths of the impurities. The…
