Transport properties play a crucial role in defining materials as insulators, metals, or superconductors. A fundamental parameter in this regard is the Drude weight, which quantify the ballistic transport of charge carriers. In this work,…

The linear growth of operators in local quantum systems leads to an effective lightcone even if the system is non-relativistic. We show that consistency of diffusive transport with this lightcone places an upper bound on the diffusivity: $D…
