It is based on generalized hydrodynamics quasi-particle pair approach to in integrable systems. test several quantitative predictions against extensive numerics find good agreement.

Focusing on semiclassical systems, we show that the parametrically long exponential growth of out-of-time order correlators (OTOCs), also known as scrambling, does not necessitate chaos. Indeed, scrambling can simply result from presence unstable fixed points in phase space, even a classically integrable model. We derive lower bound OTOC Lyapunov exponent, which depends only local properties such points. present several models for this is tight, i.e., dominated by dynamics around propose...

A bstract In semi-classical systems, the exponential growth of out-of-time-order correlator (OTOC) is believed to be hallmark quantum chaos. However, on several occasions, it has been argued that, even in integrable OTOC can grow exponentially due presence unstable saddle points phase space. this work, we probe such an system exhibiting saddle-dominated scrambling through Krylov complexity and associated Lanczos coefficients. realm universal operator hypothesis, demonstrate that coefficients...

We study the operator growth in open quantum systems with dephasing dissipation terms, extending Krylov complexity formalism of Phys. Rev. X 9, 041017. Our results are based on dissipative $q$-body Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK$_q$) model, governed by Markovian dynamics. introduce a notion ''operator size concentration'' which allows diagrammatic and combinatorial proof asymptotic linear behavior two sets Lanczos coefficients ($a_n$ $b_n$) large $q$ limit. corroborate semi-analytics finite $N$...

Superconductor-ferromagnet (S-F) interfaces in two-dimensional (2D) heterostructures present a unique opportunity to study the interplay between superconductivity and ferromagnetism. The realization of such nanoscale van der Waals (vdW) crystals remains largely unexplored due challenge making an atomically-sharp interface from their layered structures. Here, we build vdW ferromagnetic Josephson junction (JJ) by inserting few-layer insulator Cr2Ge2Te6 into two layers superconductor NbSe2....

We study a one-dimensional gas of hard rods trapped in harmonic potential, which breaks integrability the hard-rod interaction nonuniform way. explore consequences such broken for dynamics large number particles and find three distinct regimes: initial, chaotic, stationary. The initial regime is captured by an evolution equation phase-space distribution function. For any finite particles, this hydrodynamics down becomes chaotic after characteristic timescale determined interparticle distance...

It was recently conjectured that in generic quantum many-body systems, the spectral density of local operators has slowest high-frequency decay as permitted by locality. We show infinite-temperature version this "universal operator growth hypothesis" holds for Ising spin model $d \ge 2$ dimensions, and chaotic chain (with longitudinal transverse fields) one dimension. Moreover, disordered exhibits localization can have same thermalizing models. Our argument is statistical nature, based on...

The anomalous Hall effect (AHE) is a key transport signature revealing the topological properties of magnetic compounds. In quantum materials, classical linear dependence AHE on magnetization often breaks down, which typically ascribed to presence or electronic textures. However, complex structure these compounds may offer alternative, unexplored mechanisms. Here, we show that giant nonlinear can originate from series magnetic-field-induced Lifshitz transitions in spin-dependent band...

We consider the kinetic theory of quantum and classical Toda lattice models. A equation Bethe-Boltzmann type is derived for distribution function conserved quasiparticles. Near limit, we show that depends smoothly on Planck's constant, explicitly characterise leading corrections to behaviour. The compared with direct numerical simulations shows excellent agreement. Finally, connect approach inverse scattering method, by identifying quasiparticles spectrum Lax matrix.

The Toda chain with random initial data is studied. Of particular interest are generalized Gibbs ensembles, their averaged conserved fields, and the averages of corresponding currents. While fields well-understood, description currents has hitherto relied on collision-rate assumption. For chain, rate assumption can be investigated numerically. Here, we provide convincing evidence for validity This lends further support to idea that Euler-type equations have a structure common all integrable...

The anomalous Hall effect (AHE) is an important transport signature revealing topological properties of magnetic materials and their spin textures. Recently, MnBi2Te4 has been demonstrated to be intrinsic insulator. However, the origin its intriguing AHE behaviors remains elusive. Here, we demonstrate Berry curvature-dominated in wafer-scale films. By applying back-gate voltages, observe ambipolar conduction n–p transition ∼7-layer MnBi2Te4, where a quadratic relation between resistance...

The has phase, where one classical bit about the reference can be retrieved from arbitrarily small fraction output qubits, and phase such retrieval impossible. two phases are separated by mixed continuous transitions. compare exact...

The quantum dynamics of spin systems with uniform all-to-all interaction are often studied in the totally symmetric space (TSS) maximal total spin. However TSS states atypical full many-body Hilbert space. In this work, we explore several aspects away from TSS, and reveal surprising features "deep space" (DHS). We study out-of-time order correlator (OTOC) infinite-temperature ensemble derive a phase-space representation DHS OTOC show that can grow super-exponentially large $N$ limit, due to...

We present a new method for compressing matrix product operators (MPOs) which represent sums of local terms, such as Hamiltonians. Just with area law states, may be fully specified small amount information per site. Standard state (MPS) tools are ill-suited to this case, due extensive Schmidt values that coexist intensive ones, and Jordan blocks in the transfer matrix. ameliorate these issues by introducing an "almost decomposition" respects locality. Our is "$\varepsilon$-close" accuracy...

Abstract The development of spin-orbit-torque (SOT) devices has sparked considerable research interest, particularly in the quest for novel materials that exhibit high spin-to-charge conversion efficiencies effective magnetic switching. However, optimizing structure and improving efficiency necessitate theoretical insights material innovations.

We characterize the soft modes of dynamical matrix at depinning transition, and compare it with properties Anderson model (and long--range generalizations). The density states edge spectrum displays a universal linear tail, different from Lifshitz tails. eigenvectors are instead very similar in two ensembles. focus on ground state (soft mode), which represents epicenter avalanche instabilities. expect to be localized all finite dimensions, make clear connection between its localization...
