Observation of Universal Quantum Chaos at Shallow Depths
Universal statistical laws are a hallmark of quantum chaos, usually associated with the loss of spatial structure.Associative Memory for Quantum Entangled States
We generalize the canonical Hopfield model of associative memory, which stores classical states of individual spins, to store entangled quantum states.Classical Cellular Automaton for Measurement-Only Entanglement Transitions
We introduce a generalized classical long-range stochastic cellular automaton that exactly captures the entanglement dynamics and transitions of a measurement-only monitored quantum system.Dynamical, thermal, and ground-state multiparameter quantum metrology: Fundamental limits and their attainability in magnetometry
We consider the simultaneous estimation of multiple parameters in Hamiltonians of the form $H_{\vecθ}= H_{\vecθ}^P + H^C$, where $H_{\vecθ}^P$ encodes the unknown parameters and $H^C$ is a control…Entanglement Embezzlement from Diffusive Hydrodynamics
Entanglement embezzlement asks how much entanglement can be borrowed from a many-body state by local operations and classical communication while returning that state with a small error.Hilbert-space fragmentation selects channels of strong-to-weak spontaneous symmetry breaking
Strong-to-weak spontaneous symmetry breaking (SWSSB) can occur in a maximally mixed charge sector even when ordinary charged correlations vanish.Quantum Fisher information of driven-dissipative systems from Keldysh path integrals
Driven-dissipative many-body quantum systems can be exploited in quantum enhanced sensing protocols.Entropy-Driven Initiation and Cytoskeletal Viscoelasticity in Endocytosis: An Onsager Variational Framework
Receptor-mediated endocytosis requires a particle to approach the cell membrane to within a few nanometers before ligand--receptor binding can occur.Sustained growth of quantum circuit complexity in many-body Hamiltonian dynamics
The quantum circuit complexity of an evolving many-body quantum system is believed to exhibit a sustained growth, maintained for timescales much longer than the onset of thermalization.Coherence in Biological Systems
When does a collection of autonomous cells become a multicellular individual?Thermal Evolution and Disorder Dependence of the Bose-glass: Spatial, Spectral, and Localization Signatures
In this work, we characterize the glassy character of the Bose-glass phase in a disordered Bose-Hubbard model using three complementary diagnostics: the finite-temperature spectral function, spatial…Collective advantage from a minimal record in a quantum information engine
For a single particle, a quantum information engine can turn measurement fluctuations into transport by raising a barrier behind the particle each time its position is measured.Random-matrix and transport frequencies in eigenstate spectral functions
The fact that generic isolated many-body quantum systems thermalize is understood using the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH).Measuring correlations using local and nonlocal quenches
We present a theoretical proposal for measuring correlation functions in a quantum field system based on the use of quantum quenches.Quantum Mpemba effect from Stark localization
In classical systems, rugged potential energy landscapes provide a transparent mechanism for the celebrated Mpemba effect, in which hotter initial states cool down faster.Adaptive thresholding for scalable measurement-based qubit reset
Fast, high-fidelity qubit initialization is a key primitive for scalable quantum information processing, but conventional reset protocols either require long relaxation times or discard information…From Effective Temperature to Non-Boltzmann State Selection in Driven-Dissipative Quantum Criticality
Whether a nonequilibrium quantum-critical steady state can be described by an effective temperature remains an open question.The Mirror Theorem: Central Incidence Saturation in Keith Recurrences
Can a mirror emerge when numbers return?Inferring the microscopic mechanisms of opinion dynamics using a kinetic Ising model
Kinetic Ising models are widely used to describe binary opinion dynamics, but their microscopic validity has rarely been tested empirically.Correlation-Free Transition Path Sampling through Shooting Point Generation Guided by Committor Learning
Studying the dynamical behavior of a system often depends on characterizing how it transitions between long-lived states.
