Localization in Fractonic Random Circuits
Abstract: We study the spreading of initially-local operators under unitary time evolution in a onedimensional random quantum circuit model which is constrained to conserve a U (1) charge and also the dipole moment of this charge. These constraints are motivated by the quantum dynamics of fracton phases. We discover that charge remains localized at its initial position, providing a crisp example of a non-ergodic dynamical phase of random circuit dynamics. This localization can be understood as a consequence of the retur…
