We uncover an aspect of the Kibble--Zurek phenomenology, according to which the spectrum of critical exponents of a classical or quantum phase transition is revealed, by driving the system slowly in directions parallel to the phase…
The core concept of quantum simulation is the mapping of an inaccessible quantum system onto a controllable one by identifying analogous dynamics. We map the Dirac equation of relativistic quantum mechanics in 3+1 dimensions onto a…
We investigate the nonequilibrium dynamics of quantum spin chains during a round-trip protocol that slowly drives the system across a quantum first-order transition. Out-of-equilibrium scaling behaviors \`a la Kibble-Zurek for the…
We construct a model of quantum gravity in which dimension, topology and geometry of spacetime are dynamical. The microscopic degree of freedom is a real rectangular matrix whose rows label internal flavours, and columns label spatial…
Quantum entanglement is affected by unitary evolution, which spreads the entanglement through the whole system, and also by measurements, which usually tends to disentangle subsystems from the rest. Their competition has been known to…
Long-lasting quantum exponential spreading was recently found in a simple but very rich dynamical model, namely, an on-resonance double-kicked rotor model [J. Wang, I. Guarneri, G. Casati, and J. B. Gong, Phys. Rev. Lett. 107, 234104…
