This reduction leads to the conclusion that the dynamics in uniform fermionic and bosonic lattices is always ballistic. By the use of the Jordan-Wigner transformation we extend our analysis to spin lattices, proving the existence of both ballistic and non-ballistic subspaces in any dimension and for any system size. We then relate the nature of transport with the number of excitations in the spin lattice, indicating that a single excitation propagates always ballistically and that the non-ballistic behavior of uniform spin lattices is a consequence of the interaction between different excitations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-07-21T04:36:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum transport", "bosonic uniform d-dimensional lattices", "independent one-dimensional modes", "single excitation propagates", "uniform spin lattices" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150705705M" } } }
