Abstract

Quantum-state complexity diagnostics provide valuable insight into many-body dynamics, information scrambling, and quantum computation. Here, we investigate the real-time dynamics of quantum complexity in $1+1$-dimensional Abelian U(1) and non-Abelian SU(2) lattice gauge theories (LGTs), focusing on the disorder-free localization (DFL) regime. Using stabilizer R\'enyi entropy, participation R\'enyi entropy, and fermionic non-Gaussianity as measures of complexity, we observe, for both theories, two main behaviors as a function of the gauge coupling: at intermediate values, a power-law relaxation towards saturation, consistent with observations in many-body localization, and, at sufficiently large values, an ultraslow double-logarithmic growth, which we substantiate with a configuration-space bound verified by exact counting. Our results not only provide deeper insight into the dynamics of DFL but also highlight the role of gauge invariance in constraining quantum resources and are relevant to recent quantum simulations of LGTs.

Quantum Complexity in Nuclear Scattering and Fission Dynamics

Quantum computers promise advantages for simulating strongly correlated quantum many-body systems, like atomic nuclei, that are beyond the reach of classical computers. Realizing this potential requires understanding the quantum complexity structure of the target problem. We investigate the time-evolution of two key in...

Quantum Information in SYK Model

We investigate the bulk-boundary correspondence in the SYK model from a quantum information perspective. The SYK model describes a system of Majorana fermions with random all-to-all interactions, whose disorder average-typically taken over a Gaussian ensemble-admits a dual description in terms of JT gravity in the larg...

Quantum Monte Carlo in the Age of Many-Body Quantum Information

Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods are among the central numerical tools for studying strongly correlated quantum many-body systems, particularly in higher dimensions. As quantum information has introduced new information-theoretic perspectives and diagnostics into many-body physics, QMC methods have accordingly been ex...

Don't truncate, decompose: mean-field dynamics of long-range quantum systems from strongly correlated states

We challenge the widespread consensus that mean-field theory fails to describe long-range open quantum systems in the presence of symmetry breaking and/or when starting from strongly correlated states (e.g., macroscopic superpositions). While recent literature relies on cumulant expansions to capture such systems, this...

Universality of Energy-Space Entanglement in Quantum Impurity Models

Entanglement entropy (EE) is commonly studied using real-space bipartitions. We show that, in quantum impurity models, an energy-space bipartition, equivalent to the momentum-space bipartition of the bath, can display universal behavior. Motivated by poor man's scaling, we logarithmically discretize the bath and partit...
