Planckian dissipation from classical hydrodynamics

Laura Foini, Jorge Kurchan, Silvia Pappalardi

In this work we ask what the self-consistency of a classical hydrodynamic description imposes on a quantum system. The quantum fluctuation-dissipation theorem, when read in the tim…

Page Curve for Local-Operator Entanglement from Free Probability

Neil Dowling, Silvia Pappalardi

The local-operator entanglement (LOE) measures the classical simulability of a Heisenberg operator and is conjectured to witness many-body chaos in locally interacting systems. Usi…

Quantum Mpemba effect in chaotic systems with conservation laws

Thomas Martin Müller, Silvia Pappalardi, Rosario Fazio

Closed chaotic quantum systems relax after a quench into a Gibbs ensemble. At late times, the relaxation speed is determined by their conservation laws and hydrodynamics. As a resu…

Free Independence and Unitary Design from Random Matrix Product Unitaries

Neil Dowling, Jacopo De Nardis, Markus Heinrich +2

Unitary randomness underpins both fundamental tasks in quantum information and the modern theory of quantum chaos. On one side, a central concept is that of approximate unitary des…
