Abstract

We consider the time evolution of a state in an isolated quantum spin

lattice system with energy cumulants proportional to the number of the

sites L^dLd.

We compute the distribution of the eigenvalues of the time averaged

state over a time window [t_0,t_0+t][t0,t0+t]

in the limit of large L. This allows us to infer the size of a subspace

that captures time evolution in [t_0,t_0+t][t0,t0+t]

with an accuracy 1-\epsilon1−ϵ.

We estimate the size to be \frac{\sqrt{2{\mathfrak e}_2}}{\pi}erf^{-1}(1-\epsilon) L^{\frac{d}{2}}t2𝔢2πerf−1(1−ϵ)Ld2t,

where {\mathfrak e}_2𝔢2

is the energy variance per site, and erf^{-1}erf−1

is the inverse error function.
