Although the whole system stays at zero entropy, local regions come to look thermal, and the entropy of that thermal state can be read as accumulated entanglement. The claim is that, for interacting integrable systems, this growth can be calculated analytically in the space-time scaling limit, where times and region sizes are large and in fixed ratio. That was previously thought feasible only for non-interacting systems. It would offer a way to see how thermodynamics emerges in isolated quantum systems.","findings":["Entanglement dynamics after a quench in interacting integrable models can be understood analytically in the space-time scaling limit.","The framework needs only the steady state and the velocities of the low-lying excitations around it.","Checks on the XXZ chain with several initial states agree with tDMRG and iTEBD numerical simulations."],"terms":[{"term":"quasiparticle picture","means":"A description in which entangled pairs of excitations emitted by the quench move apart and spread entanglement between regions."},{"term":"integrability","means":"A special property of some models that gives them many conserved quantities and allows exact solution of their states and excitations."},{"term":"space-time scaling limit","means":"The regime where time and subsystem size are both large while their ratio stays fixed."}],"basis":"abstract","abstractFrom":"arxiv","model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","writtenAt":"2026-10-15T11:00:57.354Z","version":"context/0.2"},"summary":{"status":"written","at":"2026-10-15T11:00:57.354Z","attempts":1,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","why":null},"note":"Machine-written context to help a reader: it is not evidence, it moves no number, and it may be wrong.
