Universal Quantum Criticality from a Gaussian Variational Manifold
Universal behavior at continuous phase transitions is encoded in long-wavelength fixed-point theories controlled by dimensionality and symmetries.High-order resonances and emergent coherent dynamics in interacting Stark chains
A linear potential gradient can strongly suppress quantum dynamics, while interactions can activate resonant many-body processes whose higher-order structure remains largely unexplored.Phase-sensitive quantum-state texture during thermalization of a Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya Heisenberg dimer
We investigate quantum-state texture during the thermal relaxation of an anisotropic spin-$1/2$ Heisenberg dimer subject to a longitudinal magnetic field and a Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction.Boundary-Sensitive Quantum Order on Non-Amenable Lattices
We show that quantum systems on non-amenable lattices, whose boundaries constitute an extensive fraction of the system, host novel forms of bulk ordering with no Euclidean counterpart.Emergent Sparsity: How Many Effective Variables Survive Coarse-Graining in AlphaEarth Embeddings?
AlphaEarth encodes each 10 m land pixel as a 64-component vector intended to support diverse global mapping tasks.Energy-optimal scheduling for clocked reversible computing
Computational dissipation may arise from both information erasure and finite-time operation, although both contributions can in principle be avoided in the absence of space and time constraints.Nonergodicity from Hilbert-Subspace Cloning
We identify a class of nonintegrable quantum many-body systems composed of single Pauli strings that possess an extensive number of noncommuting local conserved quantities and exhibit partial…Scaling of entanglement with distance between subsystems: detection of phase transitions in the $t'$-$π$-flux model
The system-size scaling of bipartite entanglement can be used to detect phase transitions.Mesoscopic learning dynamics of extensive-width neural networks
Understanding how stochastic gradient descent learns internal representations in wide neural networks trained on rich target functions is a central problem in machine learning.Transport and thermalization under noncommuting localized constraints
We investigate the effects of spatially localized conserved quantities on transport and thermalization in quantum and classical many-body systems.Sampling the XY model with an attention-based neural network
We present a transformer-based variational autoregressive network for sampling lattice systems with continuous degrees of freedom and apply it to the two-dimensional XY model near the…Quantum instanton approach to metastable collective spin systems: Numerical implementation and applications
Driven-dissipative collective spin systems can host several long-lived metastable states; rare switching between them governs slow relaxation and first-order dissipative phase transitions associated…Operator-Space Entanglement Entropy in Random Fermionic Gaussian Dynamics
We study the von Neumann operator-space entanglement entropy (OSEE) of initial product operators evolved under random gaussian dynamics, as modeled by a Brownian SYK$_2$ model.Constrained dissipation and the lifetime of quantum many-body scars
We investigate the fate of quantum many-body scars in the PXP model subject to Markovian dissipation.Stability of Quantum LDPC States under Local Pauli Noise
Quantum low-density parity-check (qLDPC) codes have a canonical mixed state---the normalized projector onto the code space---that lies at the intersection of quantum error correction and quantum…Entropy Production and Thermalization in Heavy-Quark Langevin Dynamics
Heavy quarks are often treated as Brownian probes of the quark-gluon plasma.A thermally and perturbatively stable classical spin model in two dimensions
We show that the 2D classical spin model constructed in arXiv:2605.10943 hosts many metastable states at non-zero temperature which are stable to arbitrary Hamiltonian perturbations, providing the…How Long Is the Coast of a Neuron? Resolution-Dependent Interaction Order and Computational Capacity
Mandlebrot's coastline paradox reframes measurement as a joint property of an object and its ruler.Maximum likelihood, neural networks and posterior mean for inferring fractional Brownian motion parameters
Fractional Brownian motion (fBM) is a model of anomalous diffusion parameterised by a Hurst exponent $H \in (0,1)$ and a generalised diffusion coefficient $D_H > 0$.Single and coupled quantum van der Pol oscillators: Wigner-function dynamics, exact qutrit solutions, and synchronization
We study quantum van der Pol oscillator in which single-photon pumping competes with a nonlinear two-photon dissipative channel to produce a quantum limit cycle, and the question of how two such…
