Quantum speed limit for thermal states
arXiv:2005.06416 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.103.062204
Abstract
Quantum speed limits are rigorous estimates on how fast a state of a quantum system can depart from the initial state in the course of quantum evolution. Most known quantum speed limits, including the celebrated Mandelstam-Tamm and Margolus-Levitin ones, are general bounds applicable to arbitrary initial states. However, when applied to mixed states of many-body systems, they, as a rule, dramatically overestimate the speed of quantum evolution and fail to provide meaningful bounds in the thermodynamic limit. Here we derive a quantum speed limit for a closed system initially prepared in a thermal state and evolving under a time-dependent Hamiltonian. This quantum speed limit exploits the structure of the thermal state and, in particular, explicitly depends on the temperature. In a broad class of many-body setups it proves to be drastically stronger than general quantum speed limits.
