The Lieb-Robinson bound states that local Hamiltonian evolution in nonrelativistic quantum mechanical theories gives rise to the notion of an effective light-cone with exponentially decaying tails. We discuss several consequences of this result in the context of quantum information theory. First, we show that the information that leaks out to space-like separated regions is negligable, and that there is a finite speed at which correlations and entanglement can be distributed. Second, we discuss how these ideas can be used to prove lower bounds on the time it takes to convert states without topological quantum order to states with that property. Finally, we show that the rate at which entropy can be created in a block of spins scales like the boundary of that block.

  1. Temperature Beyond Equilibrium in Isolated Quantum Many-Body Systems and Their Subsystems

    quant-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    Out-of-equilibrium inverse temperature is defined as the coordinate of a canonical flow that preserves the state's energy-coherence leaf, and it generically differs from the entropy derivative.

  2. Infinite-Order Lattice Chiral Anomalies and CPT

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Lattice CPT symmetry upgrades the Onsager chiral symmetry anomaly from order two to infinite order, better matching the continuum chiral anomaly, with discussion of associated 2+1d SPT phases.

  3. Collective motion in the massive Schwinger model via Tensor Network

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Tensor-network simulations of the massive Schwinger model show Bjorken-like hydrodynamics at small m/g and sharp dynamical order parameters marking the parity-breaking phase transition near m/g=0.33 at θ=π.
