Correspondence between Asymptotic Quantum Many-Body Scars in Closed Systems and Diffusive Nambu-Goldstone Modes in Open Systems

Masaya Kunimi, Taiki Haga, Masaya Nakagawa

Hydrodynamic relaxation in open quantum many-body systems can be understood in terms of diffusive Nambu--Goldstone (NG) modes associated with strong-to-weak spontaneous symmetry br…

Discontinuous strong-to-weak symmetry breaking transition from thermal pure states

Taiki Haga, Masaya Kunimi, Masaya Nakagawa

We investigate the nonequilibrium dynamics of strong-to-weak spontaneous symmetry breaking in many-body quantum systems undergoing decoherence from thermal pure states. For generic…
