We study the low-temperature domain growth kinetics of the two-dimensional Ising model with long-range coupling: $J(r) \sim r^{-(d+\sigma)}$, where $d=2$ is the dimensionality. According to the Bray-Rutenberg predictions, the exponent…
Operator spreading under unitary time evolution has attracted a lot of attention recently, as a way to probe many-body quantum chaos. While quantities such as out-of-time-ordered correlators (OTOC) do distinguish interacting from…

We consider fully many-body localized systems, i.e. isolated quantum systems where all the many-body eigenstates of the Hamiltonian are localized. We define a sense in which such systems are integrable, with localized conserved operators.…
Nonintegrable many-body quantum systems typically thermalize at long times through the mechanism of quantum chaos. However, some exceptional systems, such as those harboring quantum scars, break thermalization, serving as testbeds for…
Isolated quantum systems follow the unitary evolution, which guarantees the full many body state always keeps a constant entropy as its initial one. In comparison, the local subsystems exhibit relaxation behavior and evolve towards certain…
It has long been believed that dissipative time scales $\tau$ obey a "Planckian" bound $\tau \gtrsim \frac{\hbar}{k_{\mathrm{B}}T}$ in strongly coupled quantum systems. Despite much circumstantial evidence, however, there is no known $\tau$…
A kinetic one-dimensional Ising model on a ring evolves according to a generalization of Glauber rates, such that spins at even (odd) lattice sites experience a temperature $T_{e}$ ($T_{o}$). Detailed balance is violated so that the spin…
Smoothing (and decay) spacetime estimates are discussed for evolution groups of self-adjoint operators in an abstract setting. The basic assumption is the existence (and weak continuity) of the spectral density in a functional setting.…
The meaning of time in an open quantum system is considered under the assumption that both, system and environment, are quantum mechanical objects. The Hamilton operator of the system is non-Hermitian. Its imaginary part is the time…
