Maximally entangling states and dynamics in one dimensional nearest neighbor Floquet systems
arXiv:1901.02944
Abstract
We describe conditions for generating entanglement between two regions at the optimal rate in a class of one-dimensional quantum circuits with Floquet dynamics. The optimal value follows from subadditivity and Araki-Lieb inequalities. A quantum circuit composed of parallel SWAP gates that act periodically on entangled pairs is a simple system that saturates the bound. We show that any other system that entangles at this maximal rate must act as a generalized SWAP gate dynamics on the relevant states of the Hilbert space. We further discuss some characterizations of states according to entropy generation. States with multipartite entanglement generically fail to entangle efficiently as time evolves. This suggests that chaos, which tend to produce such entanglement patterns, is expected to work against the process of spreading information efficiently. It also provides a simple intuition for why the entangling tsunami velocity must be slower than the Lieb-Robinson velocity.
