Role of flavor degrees of freedom in quantum simulations of disorder-free localization

A recent \texttt{Google Quantum AI} experiment [\href{https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adr9680}{Gyawali \textit{et al.}, Science \textbf{393}, 71 (2026)}] has exploited quantum parallelism to emulate disorder-averaged many-body dynamics, with conserved local degrees of freedom generating an effective disorder potential. We investigate how the local spectrum of these static variables controls localization in a flavor-extended ${\mathbb Z}_2$ lattice gauge theory, which maps onto a mixed-field Ising chain with $n$-level bond disorder. Combining finite-size spectral and entanglement diagnostics with infinite matrix-product state dynamics, we find a qualitative distinction between binary and multilevel disorder. For $n=2$, apparent localization ultimately gives way to thermalization; the long-lived transient arises from energy-scale separation, degenerate spectral towers, and approximate Hilbert-space fragmentation. By contrast, $n=4$ displays consistent localization signatures, including Poissonian level statistics, area-law eigenstate entanglement, nonthermal entanglement spectra, and persistent local memory over accessible times in the thermodynamic limit. Our results show that, despite its larger variance, binary disorder lacks the local amplitude diversity needed to suppress resonances. Thus, localization is governed not simply by disorder strength, but by the local disorder spectrum and the resulting resonant connectivity of the many-body Hilbert space.

Quantum Mpemba effect without global symmetries

The Mpemba effect, where a system initially farther from equilibrium relaxes faster than one closer to equilibrium, has been extensively studied in classical systems and recently explored in quantum settings. While previous studies of the quantum Mpemba effect (QME) have largely focused on isolated systems with global symmetries, we argue that the QME is ubiquitous in generic, non-integrable many-body systems lacking such symmetries, including U(1) charge conservation, spatial symmetries, and even energy conservation. Using paradigmatic models such as the quantum Ising model with transverse and longitudinal fields, we show that the QME can be understood through the energy density of initial states and their inverse participation ratio in the energy eigenbasis. Our findings provide a unified framework for the QME, linking it with classical thermal relaxation.

Quantum teleportation between simulated binary black holes

The quantum description of a black hole predicts that quantum information hidden behind the event horizon can be teleported outside almost instantaneously. In this work, we demonstrate that a chiral spin-chain model, which naturally simulates a binary black hole system, can realise this teleportation process. Our system captures two essential components of this protocol: Hawking radiation, which generates the necessary entanglement between the black holes, and optimal scrambling, which enables high-fidelity teleportation on short timescales. Through numerical simulations, we quantify the key timescales governing the process, including the Page time, radiation time, scrambling time, and butterfly velocity, showing their universal dependence on the chiral coupling strength. Our results establish the feasibility of simulating quantum properties of black holes within condensed matter systems, offering an experimentally accessible platform for probing otherwise inaccessible high-energy phenomena.

Hilbert space fragmentation at the origin of disorder-free localization in the lattice Schwinger model

Lattice gauge theories, discretized cousins of continuum gauge theories arising in the Standard Model, have become important platforms for exploring non-equilibrium quantum phenomena. Recent works have reported the possibility of disorder-free localization in the lattice Schwinger model. Using degenerate perturbation theory and numerical simulations based on exact diagonalization and matrix product states, we perform a detailed characterization of thermalization breakdown in the Schwinger model, including its spectral properties, structure of eigenstates, and out-of-equilibrium quench dynamics. We scrutinize the strong-coupling limit of the model, in which an intriguing double-logarithmic-in-time growth of entanglement was previously proposed from the initial vacuum state. We identify the origin of this ultraslow growth of entanglement as due to approximate Hilbert space fragmentation and the emergence of a dynamical constraint on particle hopping, which gives rise to sharp jumps in the entanglement entropy dynamics within individual background charge sectors. Based on the statistics of jump times, we argue that entanglement growth, averaged over charge sectors, is more naturally explained as either single-logarithmic or a weak power law in time. Our results suggest the existence of a single ergodicity-breaking regime due to Hilbert space fragmentation, whose properties are reminiscent of conventional many-body localization within numerically accessible system sizes.

Deep thermalization in constrained quantum systems

The concept of "deep thermalization" has recently been introduced to characterize moments of an ensemble of pure states, resulting from projective measurements on a subsystem, which lie beyond the purview of conventional Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis (ETH). In this work, we study deep thermalization in systems with kinetic constraints, such as the quantum East and the PXP models, which have been known to weakly break ETH by the slow dynamics and high sensitivity to the initial conditions. We demonstrate a sharp contrast in deep thermalization between the first and higher moments in these models by studying quench dynamics from initial product states in the computational basis: while the first moment shows good agreement with ETH, higher moments deviate from the uniform Haar ensemble at infinite temperature. We show that such behavior is caused by an interplay of time-reversal symmetry and an operator that anticommutes with the Hamiltonian. We formulate sufficient conditions for violating deep thermalization, even for systems that are otherwise "thermal" in the ETH sense. By appropriately breaking these properties, we illustrate how the PXP model fully deep-thermalizes for all initial product states in the thermodynamic limit. Our results highlight the sensitivity of deep thermalization as a probe of physics beyond ETH in kinetically-constrained systems.

Berry curvature induced nonlinear magnetoresistivity in two dimensional systems

The band geometric properties of quantum materials play an elemental role in the linear and nonlinear transport of electrons. In this paper, we propose that the interplay of the Berry curvature, the orbital magnetic moment and the Lorentz force can induce a finite nonlinear resistivity in two dimensional systems in presence of a perpendicular magnetic field. The induced nonlinear magnetoresistivity scales linearly with the magnetic field and is purely quantum mechanical in origin. This novel transport signature can be used as an additional experimental probe for the geometric quantities in intrinsically time reversal symmetric systems.

Thermodynamic Properties of Ice: A Monte Carlo Study

In this text, we implement a monte carlo algorithm to study thermodynamic properties of ice. Our program, written in Python, is open-sourced and available at https://github.com/AKnightWing/ColdAsIce. We develop a novel scheme to compute the residual entropy of a two dimensional lattice model of ice at absolute zero. A model of energetic ice is also considered and its thermodynamic properties are studied with temperature. We report a remarkable result for the energetic ice model, the presence of a phase transition at non zero temperatures.
