Exploiting disorder to probe spin and energy hydrodynamics

Abstract
An outstanding challenge in large-scale quantum platforms is to simultaneously achieve strong interactions, giving rise to the most interesting behaviors, and local addressing -that can probe them. In the context of correlated phases, local addressing enables one to directly probe the nature of the system's order. Meanwhile, for out-ofequilibrium dynamics, such addressing allows the study of quantum information spreading and operator growth. Here, we introduce a novel technique that enables the measurement of local correlation functions, down to single-site resolution, despite access to only global controls. Our approach leverages the intrinsic disorder present in a solid-state spin ensemble to dephase the nonlocal components of the correlation function. Utilizing this toolset, we measure both the spin and energy transport in nuclear spin chains. By tuning the interaction Hamiltonian via Floquet engineering, we investigate the cross-over between ballistic and diffusive hydrodynamics. Interestingly, when the system is both interacting and (nearly-)integrable, we observe the coexistence of diffusive spin transport with ballistic energy transport.
