Recent works 1, 2 argued that Rényi entropies Sα with indices α> 1 exhibit a sub-ballistic,/ffiffi t p, growth in systems with diffusive transport. A subsequent work by Žnidarič 3 claims that such sub-ballistic growth occurs only in certain cases (in particular, d= 1 dimensional systems with q= 2 states per site) and is generically replaced by ballistic growth in the absence of further fine-tuning. Below, we try to make precise the conditions needed for diffusive (rather than ballistic) Rényi growth and argue that they apply to a much wider class of systems than what is suggested by Žnidarič 3. In particular, the examples presented by Žnidarič that avoid diffusive growth do so because of the presence of additional non-conserved degrees of freedom, not merely their larger local Hilbert space. Žnidarič 3 considers U (1)-symmetric Floquet systems and claims that to have Sα> 1 ffiffi t p requires that all on-site diagonal operators (in some preferred basis) correspond to conserved quantities, with transport behavior that is diffusive (or slower). This is automatically satisfied in a system with q= 2 states per site (eg, a spin-1/2 system) with a single U (1) symmetry (eg,∑ jSz j being conserved), but it is not generally the case for q> 2, leading to the claim that in such systems, Sα> 1~ t, unless additional conserved densities are present (eg, if∑ jðSz j Þ2 is also separately conserved). We now present evidence that this claim is incorrect and that generically the conservation of Sz alone is sufficient to induce ffiffi t p growth for arbitrary finite q. We also highlight the assumptions Žnidarič makes that we expect are responsible for this disagreement. A direct refutation of the above claim is obtained by evaluating S2 in a system with q= 3. This is readily achieved in a random circuit model, extending earlier results where the same was done for a q= 2 chain 1. To be concrete, we consider a chain where the on-site Hilbert space resembles a Hubbard model in the infinite interaction limit (ie, with double occupancies projected out): the three on-site states correspond to an empty site (0j i), or a site occupied by a spin-up/spin-down particle (",# respectively). We evolve the system with a brick-wall circuit of 2-site random unitaries which conserve the total number of particles but not the spin.
