Nonequilibrium Quantum Dynamics of Many-Body Systems

Abstract: We review our results for the dynamics of isolated many-body quantum systems described by onedimensional spin-1/2 models. We explain how the evolution of these systems depends on the initial state and the strength of the perturbation that takes them out of equilibrium; on the Hamiltonian, whether it is integrable or chaotic; and on the onset of multifractal eigenstates that occurs in the vicinity of the transition to a many-body localized phase. We unveil different behaviors at different time scales. We also d… Show more

“…In this case, then, both the energy fluctuations of the initial state and the bandwidth of the observable written in the energy basis are σ E . Hence, our considerations within the dephasing picture predict, for local interacting lattice systems, an equilibration time determined by σ E , in agreement with the results of [19].…”

“…We can also understand some of the results obtained in another approach to the problem of relaxation of many-body systems, namely the study of the survival probability given by the quantum fidelity t t 0 2  y y á ñ ( ) ≔ | ( )| ( ) | , often in situations where the initial state 0 y ñ | ( ) is generated after a sudden displacement ('quantum quench') that brings the system out of equilibrium (see [19] and references therein for a review). Note that the quantum fidelity is, up to an additive constant, equivalent to the time evolution of the observable A 0 0 y y = ñ á | ( ) ( )|.…”

“…Since 2014, we have been searching for expressions that could describe the dynamics of many-body quantum systems out of equilibrium [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. We started our studies with a very simple quantity, referred to as the survival probability.…”
