$p$-Body $\simeq$ Range $p-1$: Exact Order-Range Mapping and Dual-Unitarity

Abstract:We introduce and study a periodically kicked version of a one-dimensional spin-$1/2$ Ising model with contiguous $p$-body interactions. At specific interaction strengths of the model, we establish an exact Floquet interaction $\textit{order-range}$ mapping: the Floquet evolution operator of the $p$-body Ising model is exactly mapped to a two body Ising model with interactions having maximum range $p-1$ and exactly determined couplings. Upon further tuning the kicking strength, the mapped model becomes dual-unitary, thus providing an explicit family of $p$-body dual unitary models. We then determine exact entanglement dynamics of the $p$-body model for a class of solvable initial states at all times. We further illustrate the nontrivial structures that can emerge from the $\textit{order-range}$ mapping using a minimal example of $p=3$ and generalize it for all odd $p$. These findings provide a systematic route to constructing and studying $p$-body dual-unitary Floquet models.
