Diffusivity in Dissipative Quantum Transport from an Exactly Solvable Krylov Chain

Zhi-Li Zhou, Jorge Noronha

The computation of transport coefficients in interacting quantum many-body systems is rarely analytically accessible. Here, we develop a new Krylov-space mechanism that makes the l…

Fluctuation--response relations from an emergent symmetry in the rotating stochastic Landau model

Dhruv Kush, Nicki Mullins, Mauricio Hippert +1

In this work, we investigate the extent to which fluctuation--response relations emerge from coarse-grained stochastic dynamics alone, and which aspects instead depend on additiona…
