We introduce a space-time Floquet operator, a generalization of the conventional Floquet operator, that captures the long-time behavior of space-time crystals - systems where spatial and temporal periodicities are intrinsically intertwined.…
Unitary operations are physically implementable. We further the understanding of such operations by studying the possible forms of nonlocal unitary operators, which are bipartite or multipartite unitary operators that are not tensor product…

We consider a class of quantum lattice models in $1+1$ dimensions represented as local quantum circuits that enjoy a particular "dual-unitarity" property. In essence, this property ensures that both the evolution "in time" and that "in…
