Résumé

We demonstrate ballistic spin transport of an integrable unitary quantum circuit, which can be understood either as a paradigm of an integrable periodically driven (Floquet) spin chain, or as a Trotterized anisotropic (XXZ) Heisenberg spin-1/2 model. We construct an analytic family of quasilocal conservation laws that break the spin-reversal symmetry and compute a lower bound on the spin Drude weight, which is found to be a fractal function of the anisotropy parameter. Extensive numerical simulations of spin transport suggest that this fractal lower bound is in fact tight.
