Interacting hydrodynamic modes in spinless fermions with dephasing noise

arXiv:2607.25938

summary

The paper analyzes the non‑equilibrium dynamics of spinless fermions under dephasing noise using a Lindblad framework, mapping the problem to an exactly solvable Hubbard model with imaginary tunneling to study diffusive behavior of quartic fermionic operators.

Abstract

We study the non-equilibrium dynamics of spinless fermions with dephasing noise in the framework of a many-particle Lindblad equation. Using a mapping to the exactly solvable one-dimensional Hubbard model with purely imaginary tunneling amplitude we analyze the Heisenberg-picture dynamics of operators quartic in fermions and determine their hydrodynamic projections. We construct the relevant diffusive eigenoperators explicitly and show that, in the quartic sector, they can be interpreted as interacting pairs of bilinear hydrodynamic modes. As a consequence, translationally invariant quartic operators generically exhibit non-vanishing diffusive late-time tails, unlike translationally invariant bilinears. Our results show that the hydrodynamic tails of microscopic operators cannot in general be inferred from symmetry constraints or coarse-grained fluctuating hydrodynamics alone; they also depend crucially on the spatial structure and effective size of the hydrodynamic eigenoperators.
