We study impurity-induced particle growth and scrambling in clean one-dimensional free-fermion systems. We show that a single local impurity can act as a branching source: particle or operator weight propagates coherently into the free…

We study the quantum dynamics of filling an empty lattice of size $L$, by connecting it locally with an equilibrium thermal bath that injects non-interacting bosons or fermions. We adopt four different approaches, namely (i) direct exact…

Quantum electrodynamics in $1 + 1$ space-time dimensions is analytically solvable for massless fermions, while no solution is known for massive fermions. Employing the classical-statistical approach, we simulate the real-time dynamics on a…
