Maximum-Entropy Ensemble of Quantum Subsystems with a Fixed Average State
The reduced density matrices of Haar-random bipartite states form a fixed-trace version of the Wishart ensemble of random matrices, with an asymptotic eigenvalue density given by the…Nonequilibrium statistical thermodynamics of a small quantum system coupled to quantum reservoirs
A statistical mechanical formulation where nonequilibrium averages of selected quantum observables are given exactly as averages over local density operators is used to describe the dynamics and…Dissipative controller as a hidden source of errors in quantum gates
Quantum systems are typically controlled by classical devices that necessarily dissipate energy to the surrounding environment.Adiabatic Variational Principle: Born-Oppenheimer Theory for Emergent Electronic-Order Dynamics
Recent advances in microscopic many-body methods have enabled increasingly accurate descriptions of equilibrium quantum states, yet large-scale simulations of emergent-order dynamics typically rely…Quasi-Phases of Quantum Matter
Within quantum many-body phase diagrams, continuous transition lines can appear and then terminate.Algebraic strong-to-weak symmetry breaking and partial decodability in the surface code
Coherent noise can give rise to unconventional regimes of quantum information recovery and mixed-state order.Exceptional Points as Witnesses of Non-Gaussian Noise
Efficient control of quantum devices requires the knowledge of their environmental noise, yet the commonly measured power spectrum does not fully characterize non-Gaussian fluctuations of realistic…Locality in Dissipative Ground-State Preparation
Can the ground state of a local Hamiltonian be prepared by local dissipation?Entanglement diagnostics of stochastic-resetting steady states: theory and measurement on superconducting qubits
Stochastic resetting drives quantum systems into nonequilibrium stationary states unreachable under uninterrupted unitary evolution, and their entanglement depends on whether the reset history is…Renormalization for Robust Memory without Synchronization
Local error correction can preserve classical information against noise, but protection under synchronized updates need not survive when sites evolve at independent random times.Fock-space delocalization and its control in scarred-vs-ergodic dynamics
Quantum many-body scarred dynamics in Rydberg-atom arrays is characterized by revivals, in which the system repeatedly returns to its initial state despite its many-body complexity.Information-Theoretic Reliability--Safety Bounds and Finite-Alignment Dynamics in AI Knowledge Distillation
The reliability and safety of artificial intelligence (AI), together with their transfer and evolution through knowledge distillation, have attracted growing attention.Mixed-State Topological Transition and Emergent Fractionalized Supersymmetry in the Non-Abelian Kitaev Spin Liquid
We study a mixed-state topological transition in the non-Abelian Kitaev spin liquid driven by a bond-dephasing channel.Generating Multipartite Entanglement via Structured-Bath Engineering
We present how to dissipatively prepare genuinely multipartite-entangled steady states with mutually independent local reservoirs by harnessing an Abelian strong symmetry and temporal bath…From Entanglement Bootstrap to DHR Theory
We establish a direct connection between the entanglement bootstrap and the Doplicher--Haag--Roberts theory of superselection sectors for two-dimensional quantum spin systems.Fate of Quantum Magic
Magic, a quantum resource distinct from entanglement, measures departure from states stabilized by products of Pauli operators.Atom as an Agent: Emergent Order by Collective Predictive Coding
What is the intrinsic reason of emergence of macroscopic order parameter out of microscopic systems?The Disordered Universe 2025: Open Effective Field Theories
Effective field theories (EFTs) offer a powerful method to unify diverse models under a small set of control parameters, allowing systematic expansions around well-established theories.Quantum Fisher Information Deficit as a Geometric Signature of Strong-to-Weak Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking
Recently, strong-to-weak spontaneous symmetry breaking (SW-SSB) has been established as a framework for describing quantum phases in open systems.Long-Range Toric Code: Finite-Temperature Topological Order in Two Dimensions
We introduce two-dimensional toric code models with additional long-range loop interactions.
