abstract

We study the time evolution of the entanglement entropy of a one-dimensional nonintegrable spin chain, starting from random nonentangled initial pure states. We use exact diagonalization of a nonintegrable quantum Ising chain with transverse and longitudinal fields to obtain the exact quantum dynamics. We show that the entanglement entropy increases linearly with time before finite-size saturation begins, demonstrating a ballistic spreading of the entanglement, while the energy transport in the same system is diffusive. Thus we explicitly demonstrate that the spreading of entanglement is much faster than the energy diffusion in this nonintegrable system.

Krylov Complexity in Periodically Driven CFTs and Critical Fermions

hep-th · 2026-05-25 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Arnoldi coefficients approach unity exponentially in heating phases of driven CFTs but oscillate in non-heating phases; lattice realizations show distinct spectral and graph signatures despite similar CFT Krylov growth.

Numerical study of the SYK-q spin model finds rapid entanglement growth to Haar-random saturation, a universal Rényi-1/2 mutual information vs negativity relation at minimal q, and Page-curve behavior in negativity under unequal partitions.
