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…Efficient Quantum Monte Carlo through Cluster Expansions
The sign problem remains a major obstacle to extending the success of Monte Carlo methods to generic quantum many-body systems.Probabilistic Algorithms for Ising Machines from Optimization to Generative AI
Ising machines have emerged as promising hardware accelerators for intractable optimization and sampling problems, yet their practical impact increasingly hinges on the co-design of algorithms and…Dissipation-Sensitivity Trade-Off in Dissipative Bosonic Systems
We discover a universal trade-off between the dissipation required to maintain a quantum state more sensitive than a thermal one and the sensitivity gain for a driven single-mode bosonic system…Rapid mixing of quantum spin chains at any finite temperature
We prove that a quasi-local quantum Gibbs sampler rapidly mixes to the Gibbs state of any 1D finite-range Hamiltonian at all finite temperatures in $\mathcal{O}\left(\log (n/\varepsilon)\right)$ time.Fermionic Gaussian Scrooge Ensembles in Deep Thermalization
Measuring part of a many-body wave function generates a projected ensemble of pure quantum states on the unmeasured subsystem.Work fluctuation speed limit in boundary conformal field theories
We explore the fundamental limits on finite-time driving in quantum critical systems described by boundary conformal field theory.Learning ab initio phase-field models
Simulating microstructure evolution requires quantum-mechanical accuracy and mesoscopic reach in length and time scales, a combination that no current method achieves.Exact first-detection probability in a locally monitored solvable quantum circuit
We study the interplay between local stroboscopic measurements and the unitary quantum circuit dynamics of the deterministic Floquet-quantum East model.Approximation theorems for fermionic Gaussian states
A recurring principle in many-body physics is that sufficiently distributed interactions or correlations lead to an effectively mean-field description.Coherent Release Fronts in Krylov Chains and Thermal AdS$_2$ Response
We study coherent release from a finite serial Krylov sector into an exact conformal tail with asymptotically linear Lanczos coefficients.Universal Bound and Phase Transition in Many-Body Fermionic Non-Gaussianity
Fermionic non-Gaussianity is a resource for universal quantum computation that can be generated by interactions in quantum many-body systems.Strong Simulation of 1D Quantum Circuits via Reduced Transition Matrices
Tensor networks are powerful tools for simulating quantum many-body systems, but the growth of spatial entanglement severely limits the direct evolution of pure states under chaotic unitary circuits.Unitary Schur Sampling of Qudits via Random SWAP Tests: Hunt for Antisymmetry
Schur sampling is a fundamental primitive for extracting permutation-invariant information from many-body quantum systems and has broad applications in quantum information science.Local random quantum circuits converge to the Porter-Thomas distribution in polynomial depth
Porter-Thomas statistics are a characteristic feature of the output distribution of random quantum states and, more broadly, chaotic quantum many-body systems.Entanglement Requires Fluctuations at Conformal Interfaces
We conjecture that the universal logarithmic coefficient for capacity of entanglement $c_{\mathrm{cap}}$ is bounded below by the corresponding entropy coefficient $c_{\mathrm{eff}}$ at conformal…Homological Thresholds in Randomly Monitored Quantum Error-Correcting Codes
Random projective measurements are an effective tool to model the interlinked phenomenology of monitoring, inferring, and decoding highly entangled states such as quantum error-correcting codes.Counterdiabatic Quantum Circuits
Counterdiabatic driving provides a universal route to fast quantum control, but its standard formulation presupposes a Hamiltonian generator.Quantum transmission in 1D disordered stealthy hyperuniform Kronig--Penney-like models
Disordered stealthy hyperuniform (SHU) systems are emerging as platforms for controlling classical and quantum transport due to vanishing single-scattering contributions in the stealthy regime.Ergotropy from energetic coherence and the third law of thermodynamics
We study the ergotropy and the thermodynamic potentials of a qubit battery charged by repeated interactions with clusters of thermal ancillas, qubits or oscillators, through a composite system-bath…
