Many-Body Quantum Systems: A Novel Perspective from the Information Lattice
During the time evolution of many-body quantum systems entanglement grows rapidly, limiting exact simulations to small-scale systems and small timescales. Quantum information tends, however, to flow towards larger scales without returning to local scales, such that its detailed large-scale structure does not directly affect local observables. This allows for the removal of large-scale quantum information in a way that preserves all local observables and gives access to large-scale and large-time quantum dynamics. To this end, in [2] we proposed a novel approach that uses the information lattice [1] to organize quantum information into different scales, allowing us to define local information and information currents which we employ to systematically discard long- range quantum correlations in a controlled way. The resulting algorithm, which we refer to as local-information time evolution (LITE), is highly versatile and suitable for investigating large-scale many-body quantum dynamics in both closed and open systems with diverse hydrodynamic behaviors. In this talk, I will introduce the information lattice and present results obtained with LITE for the energy transport in the mixed-field Ising model and the magnetization transport in the XX spin chain with onsite dephasing, where we accurately determine the power-law exponents and the diffusion constants [2]. Furthermore, I will discuss how the information lattice can be employed to universally characterize generic many-body quantum states and compute intrinsic correlation lengths [4]. References: [1] T.
