In charge- and dipole-conserving fragmented systems, charge and dipole asymmetries exhibit Mpemba-like crossings on parametrically distinct timescales, driven by frozen sectors retaining asymmetry and active sectors relaxing.

abstract
We study how conservation laws shape the spreading of quantum coherence in many-body dynamics. Focusing on $U(1)$-symmetric random circuits, charge-and-dipole conserving circuits, as well as ergodic Hamiltonian dynamics, we probe coherences both globally, via the participation entropy, and locally, via the relative entropy of coherence. Combining exact vector evolution, matrix product state simulations, and replica tensor networks methods, we find that conservation laws replace the logarithmic saturation of unconstrained circuits with slow hydrodynamic relaxation of the global coherence measures. Locally, symmetry-constrained circuits show a clean rise-peak-fall structure whose peak time grows algebraically with subsystem size. In contrast, ergodic Hamiltonians broaden the peak into an extended plateau at larger subsystems, highlighting a qualitatively distinct mechanism. Coherence thus emerges as a sensitive probe of symmetry-constrained thermalization, linking quantum resource dynamics to many-body transport.

In U(1)-symmetric random circuits, initial states with lower stabilizer Rényi entropy generate nonstabilizerness faster than those with higher entropy, with the effect also depending on spatial charge structure and extending to SU(2) circuits and Hamiltonian dynamics.
Closed-form formula computes non-local magic for fermionic Gaussian states from two-point correlations in polynomial time.
Lecture notes and accompanying library teach replica tensor network methods to compute circuit-averaged observables in random quantum circuits by mapping them to classical statistical mechanics models.
