We investigate a specific limit of the one-dimensional non-Hermitian Hubbard Hamiltonian with complex interactions. In this framework, fermions with different spin quantum numbers are mapped onto two distinct spin species, resulting in two…
We study tilted chains of spinless fermions in the presence of the nearest-neighbor density-density interaction for which the noninteracting counterpart displays Stark localization. We demonstrate that the latter two-body interaction can be…

Preservation of coherence is a fundamental yet subtle phenomenon in open systems. We uncover its relation to symmetries respected by the system Hamiltonian and its coupling to the environment. We discriminate between local and global…
We consider N initially disentangled spins, embedded in a ring or d-dimensional lattice of arbitrary geometry, which interact via some long--range Ising--type interaction. We investigate relations between entanglement properties of the…
Spin chains with two Ising symmetries are the Jordan-Wigner duals of one-dimensional interacting fermions with particle-hole and time-reversal symmetry. From earlier works on Majorana chains, it is known that this class of models has 10…

The subject matter of this work is a 1D quantum spin - $\frac{1}{2}$ chain associated with the inhomogeneous six-vertex model possessing an additional ${\cal Z}_r$ symmetry. The model is studied in a certain parametric domain, where it is…
I consider a spin chain with nearest-neighbor and next nearest-neighbor interactions. I show that the Hamiltonian obtained by specifying the desired combination of symmetry blocks is a fast scrambler. This is a smaller model than the…
We study the spin-$1/2$ Ising chain with multispin interactions $K$ involving the product of $m$ successive spins, for general values of $m$. Using a change of spin variables the zero-field partition function of a finite chain is obtained…

We introduce a new spin chain which is a deformation of the Fredkin spin chain and has a phase transition between bounded and extensive entanglement entropy scaling. In this chain, spins have a local interaction of three nearest neighbors.…
