Effects of Open Ends on OTOCs and Emergence of Local Conservation Laws

Explore the effects of open ends on out-of-time-ordered correlators (OTOCs) and the emergence of local conservation laws in quantum systems in this 53-minute lecture by Diptiman Sen from the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into the complex world of periodically and quasi-periodically driven systems, examining topics such as many-body localization, open quantum systems, and gauge theory of coupling between matter and radiation. Gain insights into cutting-edge research areas including terahertz and infrared driven quantum matter, shaken optical lattices, Floquet time crystals, and localization-delocalization physics in quasi-periodically driven systems. Learn about the interplay between theory and experiment in these fields, and understand the importance of quantum simulation experiments in interpreting results where brute force numerical calculations fail.
