Quasi-local Edge Mode in XXX Spin Chain/Circuit with Interaction Boundary Defect

Tomaž Prosen

We study the Heisenberg spin-1/2 model on a semi-infinite chain - or, equivalently, a trotterized unitary SU(2) symmetric six-vertex quantum circuit - with a boundary defect where the interaction between the two spins nearest the edge differs from that in the bulk. For sufficiently strong boundary interaction we explicitly construct a conserved operator quasi-localized near the boundary using a matrix-product ansatz. This quasi-local edge mode leads to non-decaying boundary correlation functions, corresponding to a nonzero boundary Drude weight. The correlation length of the edge mode diverges at a finite critical value of the boundary interaction, signaling a transition to ergodic boundary dynamics for subcritical interactions.

Relaxation in dipolar spin ladders: From pair production to false-vacuum decay

G. A. Domínguez‐Castro, Thomas Bilitewski, David Wellnitz +2 more

The authors demonstrate how the interplay between intrachain and interchain interactions in a dipolar spin chain results in three distinct relaxation regimes: ergodic, characterized by rapid relaxation towards equilibrium; metastable, where the state is quasi-localized; and partially relaxed, exhibiting both partial ergodic and quasi-localized behaviors simultaneously.
