Raychaudhuri-Ehlers Kinematics on Quantum State-Space: Caustics and Extrinsic Quantum Geometry
Quantum mechanics is inherently geometric in that the pure states form a curved complex manifold and the Schrödinger evolution defines a Hamiltonian flow on this space.Maximal correlation and optimal transformations of probability distributions in tensor-train format: a variational algorithm
The correlation between two subsystems $A$ and $B$ of a many-body system is usually measured through a pair of observables chosen in advance.Generative diffusion in long-range correlated landscapes: Speciation cascade and the foam structure of the score
While state of the art for image and video generation, the fundamental reasons for the effectiveness of generative diffusion remain unclear.Universality and Emergent Classicality in Krylov Space
Krylov complexity grows linearly at late times for many systems.Mutual information to all orders from modular flow: a replica-free approach
We derive an all-orders long-distance expansion of vacuum mutual information between two disjoint balls in generic $d$-dimensional CFTs.Long-range entangled criticality from coherent errors
We find that coherent error can induce a phase transition from the clean surface code phase into an extended long-range entangled critical regime with diverging Markov length.Non-Hermitian effective dynamics from post-selection protocols
Multiple seemingly distinct frameworks are commonly proposed to explain the emergence of effective non-Hermitian dynamics in quantum systems coupled to an environment.Bounds and sufficient conditions in quantum Zeno effect
When a quantum system undergoes a series of repeated measurements during its time evolution to check whether it remains in the initial state, the resulting state lifetime can decrease (the quantum…Canonic hemoglobin-oxygen equilibrium: Reassessing the role of cooperativity
Hemoglobin-oxygen equilibrium is normally studied within the grand canonical ensemble, which assumes that each hemoglobin is immersed in a reservoir of unbound oxygen molecules of the plasma.Density functionals for the Pauli-Fierz Hamiltonian
We develop a density-functional theory for the Pauli-Fierz Hamiltonian of nonrelativistic quantum electrodynamics in the spirit of the convex-analytic formulation of Lieb.Underdamped Stochastic Optimal Transport with Landauer boundary conditions: machine learning and analytical solution
Finding optimal transport protocols for underdamped stochastic processes is a difficult yet important problem in control theory.Lifting the mixed to the pure: quantum phases of matter from canonical purification
Pure-state quantum phases are defined through finite-depth local unitary connections.Exhaustive Construction of Generalized Parent Hamiltonians for Matrix Product States
Characterizing local Hamiltonians that host interesting many-body states as eigenstates has been an important problem in quantum many-body physics.Distance to integrability and complexity
We consider nearest-neighbour interactions on spin-1/2 chains.VESPER: Online Learning of Free Energies with a Multi-Tempered Variational Objective
Computing molecular free-energy landscapes over collective variables (CVs) is central to understanding molecular mechanisms, but poses a difficult learning problem without training data available a…virasoro_blocks: Software for the 2d bootstrap
We introduce virasoro_blocks, software that computes Virasoro conformal blocks at any central charge in a form suitable for the numerical bootstrap.Ten-loop fixed-dimension renormalization-group functions of the three-dimensional O(N) model from distributed GPU-accelerated parametric integration
The renormalization-group functions $β$, $η$ and $ν$ of the three-dimensional $O(N)$ model in fixed dimension (massive zero-momentum scheme) were known to eighth order in the coupling.A Zoo of Fermionic Relative Rényi Negativities in the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev Models
Quantum entanglement is a fundamental resource that gives rise to correlations with no classical counterpart in strongly correlated fermionic systems.Diffusion models for the $O(3)$ nonlinear sigma model
A score-based diffusion model is trained on the two-dimensional classical Heisenberg model, the lattice representation of the $O(3)$ nonlinear sigma model.Fluctuation-dissipation relation in branching particle systems
A fluctuation-dissipation relation (FDR) for branching particle systems is derived that reveals how fluctuations in clonal populations originating from a single ancestor encode both population…
