Solvable Quantum Circuits with non-Markovian Influence Matrices

Influence matrices encode the action exerted on local subsystems by the rest of an extended quantum many-body system during their evolution. Thus, knowledge of the influence matrix facilitates computationally efficient simulations of local dynamics. Here we propose a new systematic approach to generating quantum circuits with complex dynamics for which the influence matrices can be written down exactly. In contrast to previous frameworks of this kind, such as dual-unitary circuits, the resulting influence matrices are non-Markovian, exhibiting nontrivial temporal correlations. We explicitly construct a broad family of circuits of this kind, based on dressing free-fermion (matchgate) circuits with appropriately chosen interaction terms. We show that, contrary to previous solvable instances, these circuits produce patterns of correlations that closely resemble that of typical many-body systems. Our approach can be directly interpreted in terms of an error correction scheme where the terms breaking the solvability of the influence matrices play the role of errors.
