Abstract
Fluctuations of integrated currents have attracted considerable interest over the past decades in the context of statistical mechanics. Recently, anomalous current fluctuations, characterized by the M-Wright function, were obtained exactly in a classical automaton [Ž. Krajnik et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 128, 160601 (2022)], and previous studies have shown that the anomalous behavior can arise in a variety of classical systems. Despite the rapidly growing interest in such anomalous behaviors, which capture a universal aspect of one-dimensional many-body transport, the exact derivation of the M-Wright function in quantum many-body systems has remained elusive. In this Letter, we present the first exact microscopic derivation of the M-Wright function in quantum many-body dynamics by analyzing the integrated spin current in a one-dimensional Fermi-Hubbard model with infinitely strong repulsive interactions. Our results lay the groundwork for exploring anomalous integrated currents in a broad class of quantum many-body systems.
