Rotation Breaks Kibble-Zurek Universality
We show that trap rotation overrides Kibble-Zurek (KZ) universality when a 2D Bose-Einstein condensate forms via a finite-time quench.Casimir force screening by a quantum Boltzmann plasma
We develop a finite-temperature field-theoretical description of the Casimir interaction between two perfectly conducting boundaries with the intervening gap filled by a two-component quantum…Causal memory and structural complexity of a quantum space series
What makes one quantum process more complex than another?Interacting quantum criticality with U(1) symmetry breaking in 1+1 dimensions
The Hohenberg-Mermin-Wagner theorem motivates the expectation that continuous symmetries remain unbroken in one-dimensional quantum ground states.Climbing the Fusion Tree: Center Ordering and Decoding Hierarchy in Non-Abelian Mixed States
We develop an operational approach to strong-to-weak spontaneous symmetry breaking (sw-SSB) of a non-Abelian symmetry group G. We formulate it as the decoding task of distinguishing two strongly…Finite-bath projected ensembles in dual-unitary circuits
We study the emergent randomness in projected ensembles generated by dual-unitary circuits.Kardar-Parisi-Zhang superdiffusion in chaotic quantum circuits
We construct a family of chaotic brickwork quantum circuits exhibiting superdiffusive transport with dynamical exponent $z=3/2$ in the full Kardar--Parisi--Zhang (KPZ) universality class.Decoupling Spectral Gaps from Entanglement Complexity in Quantum Annealing
Exponentially small spectral gaps are the central obstacle to adiabatic quantum annealing, yet whether such bottlenecks demand correspondingly complex entanglement remains unclear.Analytic non-axisymmetric 3D MHD equilibria without stellarator symmetry
Analytical solutions to the three-dimensional ideal magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium equations $(\nabla \times \vec{B}) \times \vec{B} = \nabla p$ and $\nabla \cdot \vec{B} = 0$ provide benchmarks…Autonomous Quantum Memories from Classical Stochastic Processes
The study of quantum memories out of thermal equilibrium is motivated both by the need for memories that withstand realistic noise in fault-tolerant quantum computers and by the fundamental question…A numerical and efficient model for thermo-field electron emission calculations
As electron sources are reduced in size, fabricated in new materials, or pushed for performance, the analytical formulations for thermo-field electron emission, namely Fowler-Nordheim and…How to distinguish chaos from integrability using OTOC
The decay of out-of-time-ordered correlators (OTOCs) to a small residual value signals the scrambling of quantum information.Active lattice percolation: an apparently new universality class of percolation transitions
We investigate a class of dynamic percolation models on a lattice, in which connections are added and removed by a set of local stochastic rules.Spatiotemporal quantum advantages for rare-event sampling
In a world fraught with uncertainty, it behooves us to consider the most disastrous possible outcomes, in order that we can best mitigate against them.Efficient Sampling for Many-Body Fermionic Non-Gaussianity
Fermionic non-Gaussianity is a key resource for universal quantum computation, and its behavior in quantum many-body systems has attracted growing interest.Modified logarithmic Sobolev inequality for 1D non-commuting Hamiltonians
Given a finite-range, non-commuting Hamiltonian on a 1D chain of finite spins, we prove a modified logarithmic Sobolev inequality with constant $Ω(1/\log n)$ for the heat-bath dynamics, a…Efficient Block Encoding of Structured Hamiltonians by Separating Where and What
In fault-tolerant block encodings of structured Hamiltonians, the support geometry can set how the non-Clifford cost of SELECT scales with the system size, however many operators act on each support.Maximum-Entropy Extension of Quantum Correlation Functions from Short Real-Time Dynamics
Correlation functions are central to understanding the behavior of quantum systems, with their spectra giving direct access to quasiparticle and collective excitations.On Information Propagation in Krylov Subspaces
Krylov subspace methods provide an efficient tool for modeling any quantum initial value problem as a one dimensional chain.Exact Temporal Criticalities of Entanglement and Negativity in Gaussian and Non-Gaussian Dissipative Kitaev Chains
When the two largest eigenvalues of an entanglement or negativity spectrum meet, the gap of the corresponding entanglement or negativity Hamiltonian closes while entropies stay smooth, an event we…
