Lecture notes on Generalised Hydrodynamics

Benjamin Doyon

Published Aug 28, 2020• 282 citations
arXivHTMLPDF

Abstract

These are lecture notes for a series of lectures given at the Les Houches Summer School on Integrability in Atomic and Condensed Matter Physics, 30 July to 24 August 2018. The same series of lectures has also been given at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, October 2019. I overview in a pedagogical fashion the main aspects of the theory of generalised hydrodynamics, a hydrodynamic theory for quantum and classical many-body integrable systems. Only very basic knowledge of hydrodynamics and integrable systems is assumed.

Transport in one-dimensional integrable quantum systems

Jesko Sirker

These notes are based on a series of three lectures given at the Les Houches summer school on ’Integrability in Atomic and Condensed Matter Physics’ in August 2018. They provide an introduction into the unusual transport properties of integrable models in the linear response regime focussing, in particular, on the spin- 1/2 1 / 2 XXZ spin chain.

A short introduction to Generalized Hydrodynamics

Fabian H. L. Eßler

These are notes based on lectures given at the 2021 summer school on Fundamental Problems in Statistical Physics XV. Their purpose is to give a very brief introduction to Generalized Hydrodynamics, which provides a description of the large scale structure of the dynamics in quantum integrable models. The notes are not meant to be comprehensive or provide an overview of all relevant literature, but rather give an exposition of the key ideas for non-experts, using a simple fermionic tight-binding model as the main example.

Many-body localization: an introduction for mathematicians

François Huveneers

These notes are based on a mini-course delivered at the Les Houches Summer School, Quantum Theory on All Scales, in August 2026. They introduce many-body localization to mathematicians, emphasizing the physical mechanisms that support or destabilize it. The mathematical discussion deals with how perturbative rotations, renormalization, and probabilistic estimates are used in a rigorous approach to many-body localization.

Many-body theory of non-equilibrium systems

Alex Kamenev

Lectures notes for 2004 Les Houches Summer School on "Nanoscopic Quantum Transport". These lectures contain an introduction to Keldysh formalism for interacting bosonic and fermionic systems, presented in the functional integral framework. Covered topics include: kinetic theory, relation to classical techniques (such as Martin--Siggia--Rose and Fokker--Planck), non--linear sigma model for disordered fermions, etc.

Les Houches lectures on random quantum circuits and monitored quantum dynamics

Romain Vasseur

These lecture notes are based on lectures given by the author at the Les Houches 2025 summer school on "Exact Solvability and Quantum Information". The central theme of these notes is to apply the philosophy of statistical mechanics to study the dynamics of quantum information in ideal and monitored random quantum circuits -- for which an exact description of individual realizations is expected to be generically intractable.
