    • Analytical description of the survival probability of coherent states in regular regimes. 

      Lerma-Hernandez, Sergio; Chavez-Carlos, Jorge; Bastarrachea-Magnani, Miguel A.; Santos, Lea F.; Hirsch, Jorge G. (American Physical Society, 2018)
      Using coherent states as initial states, we investigate the quantum dynamics of the Lipkin–Meshkov–Glick (LMG) and Dicke models in the semi-classical limit. They are representative models of bounded systems with one- and ...

      Khalouf-Rivera, Jamil; Carvajal, Miguel; Pérez-Bernal, Francisco; Santos, Lea F. (American Chemical Society, 2019-10-09)
      Recent works have shown that the spectroscopic access to highly excited states provides enough information to characterize transition states in isomerization reactions. Here, we show that information about the transition ...
    • Chaos enhancement in large-spin chains 

      Santos, Lea F.; Lebel, Yael; Bar Lev, Yevgeny (arXiv preprints, 2022-03-31)
      We study the chaotic properties of a large-spin XXZ chain with onsite disorder and a small number of excitations above the fully polarized state. We show that while the classical limit, which is reached for large spins, ...

    • Decay of a thermofield-double state in chaotic quantum systems. 

      del Campo, A.; Molina-Vilaplana, J.; Santos, Lea F.; Sonner, J. (EDP Sciences, 2018-09)
      Scrambling in interacting quantum systems out of equilibrium is particularly effective in the chaotic regime. Under time evolution, initially localized information is said to be scrambled as it spreads throughout the entire ...
    • Dynamical signatures of quantum chaos and relaxation time scales in a spin-boson system.

      Quantum systems whose classical counterparts are chaotic typically have highly correlated eigenvalues and level statistics that coincide with those from ensembles of full random matrices. A dynamical manifestation of these ...

    • Dynamics at the many-body localization transition. 

      Torres-Herrera, E.J.; Santos, Lea F. (American Physical Society, 2015-07)
      The isolated one-dimensional Heisenberg model with static random magnetic fields has become paradigmatic for the analysis of many-body localization. Here, we study the dynamics of this system initially prepared in a ...
    • Entanglement in quantum computers described by the XXZ model with defects. 

      Santos, Lea F. (American Physical Society, 2003-06)
      We investigate on how to generate maximally entangled states in systems characterized by the Hamiltonian of the XXZ model with defects. Some proposed quantum computers are described by such a model. Defects embedded in ...
    • Entropy of Isolated Quantum Systems after a Quench. 

      Santos, Lea F.; Rigol, Marcos; Polkovnikov, Anatoli (American Physical Society, 2011-07-18)
      A diagonal entropy, which depends only on the diagonal elements of the system’s density matrix in the energy representation, has been recently introduced as the proper definition of thermodynamic entropy in out-of-equilibrium ...
    • Excited-state quantum phase transitions studied from a non-Hermitian perspective. 

      Sindelka, Milan; Santos, Lea F.; Moiseyev, Nimrod (American Physical Society, 2017-01-24)
      A main distinguishing feature of non-Hermitian quantum mechanics is the presence of exceptional points (EPs). They correspond to the coalescence of two energy levels and their respective eigenvectors. Here, we use the ...

      Santos, Lea F.; Niknam, Mohamad; Cory, David G. (2020-11)
      We propose and experimentally measure an entropy that quantifies the volume of correlations among qubits.The experiment is carried out on a nearly isolated quantum system composed of a central spin coupled and initially ...

    • From few- to many-body quantum systems. 

      Schiulaz, Mauro; Tavora, Marco; Santos, Lea F. (IOP Publishing, 2018-09-03)
      How many particles are necessary to make a quantum system many-body? To answer this question, we take as reference for the many-body limit a quantum system at half-filling and compare its properties with those of a system ...
