Abstract

The dynamics of 2D long-range quantum magnets represents a current frontier in experimental physics such as in Rydberg atomic systems or trapped ions. In this work we address theoretical challenges in understanding these dynamics by combining large-scale neural quantum state simulations with an effective theory. Our findings uncover a mechanism for persistent coherent quantum dynamics and slow relaxation in 2D long-range quantum magnets. Demonstrated on the 2D transverse-field quantum Ising model with power-law decaying interactions, we observe long-lived oscillatory behavior after quenching the system from a ferromagnetic product state. We explain this phenomenon by the formation of magnon bound states, generated by effective attractive long-range magnon interactions. Our results highlight a generic mechanism for long-lived quantum coherence in 2D quantum magnets that can be directly observed in current quantum simulation platforms.
