Error bounds for constrained dynamics in gapped quantum systems: Rigorous results and generalizations

arXiv:2001.03421 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.101.052122

Abstract

In arXiv:2001.03419 we introduce a universal error bound for constrained unitary dynamics within a well-gapped energy band of an isolated quantum system. Here, we provide the full details on the derivation of the bound. In addition, we generalize the result to isolated quantum many-body systems by employing the local Schrieffer-Wolff transformation, obtaining an error bound that grows polynomially in time. We also generalize the result to Markovian open quantum systems and quantitatively explain the quantum Zeno effect.
