We consider quantum quenches from an ideal Bose condensate to the Lieb-Liniger model with an arbitrary attractive interaction strength. We focus on the properties of the stationary state reached at late times after the quench. Using recently developed methods based on integrability, we obtain an exact description of the stationary state for a large number of bosons. A distinctive feature of this state is the presence of a hierarchy of multiparticle bound states. We determine the dependence of their densities on interaction strength and obtain an exact expression for the stationary value of the local pair correlation g(2). We discuss ramifications of our results for cold atom experiments.

Fermionic quantum cellular automata and generalized matrix-product unitaries

Lorenzo Piroli, Alex Turzillo, Sujeet K. Shukla, J. Ignacio Cirac

Summary: In this paper, the study focuses on matrix-product unitary operators (MPUs) for fermionic one-dimensional chains. A natural generalization of fermionic MPUs is introduced, which preserves locality and is equivalent to fermionic quantum cellular automata (fQCA). An index theorem for generalized MPUs is proven, recovering the classification of fQCA in one dimension.

Exact Thermalization Dynamics in the Rule 54 Quantum Cellular Automaton

Katja Klobas, Bruno Bertini, Lorenzo Piroli

Summary: In this study, the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of the quantum cellular automaton Rule 54 was examined, revealing the full thermalization dynamics at a microscopic level using simple quantum channels for low-entangled initial states. Analytic formulas for the evolution of local observables and Renyi entropies were provided, showing that Rule 54 does not behave as a simple Markovian bath and exhibits nonequilibrium features of interacting integrable many-body quantum systems. This study offers a rare example where the entire thermalization dynamics can be exactly solved at the microscopic level.

Topological Lower Bound on Quantum Chaos by Entanglement Growth

Zongping Gong, Lorenzo Piroli, J. Ignacio Cirac

Summary: In modern quantum chaos theory, a fundamental result is the upper bound on the growth of out-of-time-order correlators, which is related to the operator-space entanglement entropy of the evolution operator. For one-dimensional quantum cellular automata (QCA), there exists a lower bound on quantum chaos quantified by such entanglement entropy, equal to twice the index of the QCA. This rigorous bound rules out the possibility of any sublinear entanglement growth behavior and shows that many-body localization is forbidden for unitary evolutions displaying nonzero index.

Coarse-Grained Entanglement and Operator Growth in Anomalous Dynamics

Zongping Gong, Adam Nahum, Lorenzo Piroli

Summary: In two-dimensional Floquet systems, many-body localized dynamics in the bulk leads to chaotic evolution characterized by a nonzero chiral topological index at the one-dimensional edges. This anomalous dynamics is qualitatively different from local-Hamiltonian evolution. By analyzing solvable models of random quantum cellular automata, it is found that a nonzero index results in asymmetric butterfly velocities, different diffusive broadening of the light cones, and a modification of the order relations between the butterfly and entanglement velocities. These results can be understood by generalizing the entanglement membrane theory, considering a spacetime entropy current fixed by the index.

Entanglement dynamics of thermofield double states in integrable models

Gianluca Lagnese, Pasquale Calabrese, Lorenzo Piroli

Summary: This study investigates the entanglement dynamics of thermofield double (TFD) states in integrable spin chains and quantum field theories. It proposes a formula for the entanglement dynamics, applicable to both discrete and continuous integrable field theories, and tests its validity in two prototypical examples of integrable spin chains.

Temporal Entanglement, Quasiparticles, and the Role of Interactions

Giacomo Giudice, Giuliano Giudici, Michael Sonner, Julian Thoenniss, Alessio Lerose, Dmitry A. Abanin, Lorenzo Piroli

Summary: In this study, the influence of integrable interactions on the temporal entanglement (TE) behavior is investigated. It is found that, beyond the noninteracting limit, TE exhibits a logarithmic growth, violating the area law. This finding highlights the significance of interactions and raises interesting questions about efficiently simulating the local dynamics of interacting integrable systems.

Thermodynamic symmetry resolved entanglement entropies in integrable systems

Lorenzo Piroli, Eric Vernier, Mario Collura, Pasquale Calabrese

Summary: This article presents a general approach to compute the symmetry-resolved Renyi and von Neumann entanglement entropies of thermodynamic macrostates in interacting integrable systems. The method combines the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz with the Gartner-Ellis theorem and derives a simple formula for the von Neumann entropy. The results are tested on the XXZ Heisenberg spin chain with good agreement.

Triviality of quantum trajectories close to a directed percolation transition

Lorenzo Piroli, Yaodong Li, Romain Vasseur, Adam Nahum

Summary: We study quantum circuits and analyze the transitions that occur as the rate of control operations is increased. We show that the measurement-induced entanglement transition and the directed percolation transition into the absorbing state are distinct. By introducing effective tensor networks, we analyze the entanglement and absorbing-state transitions.

Generalized deep thermalization for free fermions

Maxime Lucas, Lorenzo Piroli, Jacopo De Nardis, Andrea De Luca

Summary: In noninteracting isolated quantum systems, local subsystems relax to nonthermal stationary states, described by a generalized Gibbs ensemble. This study shows that a recently introduced projected ensemble, which involves projective measurements on the rest of the system, can be completely characterized by the generalized Gibbs ensemble. A random ensemble called deep GGE is proposed and shown to coincide with a universal Haar random ensemble for infinite-temperature initial states. Numerical tests confirm the predictions of the deep GGE and its agreement with the projected ensemble for both infinite and finite temperatures. This work contributes to the systematic characterization of projected ensembles beyond chaotic systems and infinite temperatures.

Quantifying nonstabilizerness of matrix product states

Tobias Haug, Lorenzo Piroli

Summary: In this paper, we demonstrate an efficient method to compute the nonstabilizerness of matrix product states (MPSs) using the recently introduced stabilizer Renyi entropies (SREs). We find that the SRE can be expressed in terms of the norm of an MPS with bond dimension chi 2n for a specific MPS. This construction allows us to extract the SRE from a single tensor for translation-invariant states and provides a computational cost linear in N and polynomial in chi for generic MPSs. By applying this method, we obtain accurate numerical results for the ground-state nonstabilizerness in the quantum Ising chain.

Generalized hydrodynamics of the repulsive spin-1/2 Fermi gas

Stefano Scopa, Pasquale Calabrese, Lorenzo Piroli

Summary: In this study, nonhomogeneous quantum quenches in a one-dimensional gas of repulsive spin-1/2 fermions were investigated using generalized hydrodynamics (GHD). Real-time evolution following sudden changes of the confining potential was analyzed, with a particular focus on release protocols and trap quenches. The study provided quantitative predictions for different temperatures, external magnetic fields, and chemical potentials.

Symmetry-resolved Page curves

Sara Murciano, Pasquale Calabrese, Lorenzo Piroli

Summary: This work investigates the average entanglement entropy of symmetry resolved Page curves in the presence of a conservation law. Explicit analytic formulas are derived for two important statistical ensembles with a U(1)-symmetry, Haar-random pure states and random fermionic Gaussian states. Numerical calculations are conducted to test the predictions and discuss the subleading finite-size corrections.

Real-time spin-charge separation in one-dimensional Fermi gases from generalized hydrodynamics

Stefano Scopa, Pasquale Calabrese, Lorenzo Piroli

Summary: This study revisits early suggestions to observe spin-charge separation in cold-atom settings by studying the evolution of one-dimensional repulsive Fermi gases in a harmonic potential. The results show that at low temperature and zero magnetic field, spin and charge dynamically decouple with quantitatively small quantum corrections. At finite temperature, the effects of spin-charge separation still persist, and the specific temperature at which the two distinguishable excitations melt is explicitly characterized through numerical simulations of the GHD equations.
