Nonequilibrium Dynamics of Charged Dual-Unitary Circuits by Alessandro Foligno, Pasquale Calabrese, Bruno Bertini

“…In contrast to the known class of solvable states, which relax to the infinite-temperature state, these states relax to a family of nontrivial generalized Gibbs ensembles. The relaxation process of these states can be simply described by a linear growth of the entanglement entropy followed by saturation to a nonmaximal value but with maximal entanglement velocity. …”
