Temporal Coarse-Graining as the Origin of Macroscopic Friction in Quantum Spin Chains via Data-Driven Liouvillian Extraction
Macroscopic friction and viscosity in isolated quantum spin chains emerge only after finite temporal coarse-graining of the unitary dynamics, while mechanical elasticity remains present at all scales.
