New relations between spin and charge dynamics of the Fermi Hubbard model

Utilizing the Fermi gas microscope, recently the MIT group has measured the spin transport of the Fermi Hubbard model (FHM) starting from a spin-density-wave state, and the Princeton group has measured the charge transport of the FHM starting from a charge-density-wave state.

Description
Summary:Utilizing the Fermi gas microscope, recently the MIT group has measured the spin transport of the Fermi Hubbard model (FHM) starting from a spin-density-wave state, and the Princeton group has measured the charge transport of the FHM starting from a charge-density-wave state. Motivated by these two experiments, we prove a theorem that shows under certain conditions, the spin and charge transports can be equivalent to each other. The proof makes use of the particle-hole transformation of the FHM and a recently discovered symmetry protected dynamical symmetry. Our results can be directly verified in future cold atom experiment with the Fermi gas microscope.
