The dynamics of magnetization and energy densities are studied in the two-leg spin-1/2 ladder. Using an efficient pure-state approach based on the concept of typicality, we calculate spatio-temporal correlation functions for large systems with up to 40 lattice sites. In addition, two subsequent Fourier transforms from real to momentum space as well as from time to frequency domain yield the respective dynamic structure factors. Summarizing our main results, we unveil the existence of genuine diffusion both for spin and energy. In particular, this finding is based on four distinct signatures which can all be equally well detected: (i) Gaussian density profiles, (ii) time-independent diffusion coefficients, (iii) exponentially decaying density modes, and (iv) Lorentzian line shapes of the dynamic structure factor. The combination of (i) - (iv) provides a comprehensive picture of high-temperature dynamics in thisarchetypal nonintegrable quantum model.

We obtain a set of general formulae for determining magnetizations, including the usual electromagnetic magnetization as well as the gravitomagnetic energy magnetization. The magnetization corrections to the thermal transport coefficients are explici
tly demonstrated. Our theory provides a systematic approach for properly evaluating the thermal transport coefficients of magnetic systems, eliminating the unphysical divergence from the direct application of the Kubo formula. For an anomalous Hall system, the corrected thermal Hall conductivity obeys the Wiedemann-Franz law.
The large-scale dynamics of quantum integrable systems is often dominated by ballistic modes due to the existence of stable quasi-particles. We here consider as an archetypical example for such a system the spin-$frac{1}{2}$ XXX Heisenberg chain that
features magnons and their bound states. An interesting question, which we here investigate numerically, arises with respect to the fate of ballistic modes at finite temperatures in the limit of zero magnetization $m{=}0$. At a finite magnetization density $m$, the spin autocorrelation function $Pi(x,t)$ (at high temperatures) typically exhibits a trimodal behavior with left- and right-moving quasi-particle modes and a broad center peak with slower dynamics. The broadening of the fastest propagating modes exhibits a sub-diffusive $t^{1/3}$ scaling at large magnetization densities, $m {rightarrow} frac{1}{2}$, familiar from non-interacting models; it crosses over into a diffusive scaling $t^{1/2}$ upon decreasing the magnetization to smaller values. The behavior of the center peak appears to exhibit a crossover from transient super-diffusion to ballistic relaxation at long times. In the limit $m{to}0$, the weight carried by the propagating peaks tends to zero; the residual dynamics is carried only by the central peak; it is sub-ballistic and characterized by a dynamical exponent $z$ close to the value $frac{3}{2}$ familiar from Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) scaling. We confirm, employing elaborate finite-time extrapolations, that the spatial scaling of the correlator $Pi$ is in excellent agreement with KPZ-type behavior and analyze the corresponding corrections.
Ground states of the frustrated spin-1 Ising-Heisenberg two-leg ladder with Heisenberg intra-rung coupling and only Ising interaction along legs and diagonals are rigorously found by taking advantage of local conservation of the total spin on each ru
ng. The constructed ground-state phase diagram of the frustrated spin-1 Ising-Heisenberg ladder is then compared with the analogous phase diagram of the fully quantum spin-1 Heisenberg two-leg ladder obtained by density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) calculations. It is demonstrated that both investigated spin models exhibit quite similar magnetization scenarios, which involve intermediate plateaux at one-quarter, one-half and three-quarters of the saturation magnetization.
Thermal energy can be conducted by different mechanisms including by single particles or collective excitations. Thermal conductivity is system-specific and shows a richness of behaviors currently explored in different systems including insulators, s
trange metals and cuprate superconductors. Here, we show that despite the seeming complexity of thermal transport, the thermal diffusivity $alpha$ of liquids and supercritical fluids has a lower bound which is fixed by fundamental physical constants for each system as $alpha_m=frac{1}{4pi}frac{hbar}{sqrt{m_em}}$, where $m_e$ and $m$ are electron and molecule masses. The newly introduced elementary thermal diffusivity has an absolute lower bound dependent on $hbar$ and the proton-to-electron mass ratio only. We back up this result by a wide range of experimental data. We also show that theoretical minima of $alpha$ coincide with the fundamental lower limit of kinematic viscosity $ u_m$. Consistent with experiments, this points to a universal lower bound for two distinct properties, energy and momentum diffusion, and a surprising correlation between the two transport mechanisms at their minima. We observe that $alpha_m$ gives the minimum on the phase diagram except in the vicinity of the critical point, whereas $ u_m$ gives the minimum on the entire phase diagram.
The problem of characterizing low-temperature spin dynamics in antiferromagnetic spin chains has so far remained elusive. We reinvestigate it by focusing on isotropic antiferromagnetic chains whose low-energy effective field theory is governed by the
quantum non-linear sigma model. We outline an exact non-perturbative theoretical approach to analyse the low-temperature behaviour in the vicinity of non-magnetized states, and obtain explicit expressions for the spin diffusion constant and the NMR relaxation rate, which we compare with previous theoretical results in the literature. Surprisingly, in SU(2)-invariant spin chains in the vicinity of half-filling we find a crossover from the semi-classical regime to a strongly interacting quantum regime characterized by zero spin Drude weight and diverging spin conductivity, indicating super-diffusive spin dynamics. The dynamical exponent of spin fluctuations is argued to belong to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class. Furthermore, by employing numerical tDMRG simulations, we find robust evidence that the anomalous spin transport persists also at high temperatures, irrespectively of the spectral gap and integrability of the model.
