The proofs are based on a maximal velocity bound, which states that the many-body evolution stays, up to small leaking probability tails, within a light cone of the support of the initial conditions. This estimate is used to prove the light-cone approximation of dynamics and Lieb-Robinson-type bound.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-12-29T22:20:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35Q40", "81P45" ], "keywords": [ "propagation", "information", "long-range quantum many-body systems", "many-body evolution stays", "maximal velocity bound" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 43, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
