Topological lower bound on quantum chaos by entanglement growth

Zongping Gong, Lorenzo Piroli, J. Ignacio Cirac

A fundamental result in modern quantum chaos theory is the Maldacena-Shenker-Stanford upper bound on the growth of out-of-time-order correlators, whose infinite-temperature limit i…

Nuclear clocks for testing fundamental physics

E. Peik, T. Schumm, M. S. Safronova +3

The low-energy, long-lived isomer in Th, first studied in the 1970s as an exotic feature in nuclear physics, continues to inspire a multidisciplinary community of physicist…

Verification of joint measurability using phase-space quasiprobability distributions

Saleh Rahimi-Keshari, Mohammad Mehboudi, Dario De Santis +2

Measurement incompatibility is a distinguishing property of quantum physics and an essential resource for many quantum information processing tasks. We introduce an approach to ver…

On tensor network representations of the (3+1)d toric code

Clement Delcamp, Norbert Schuch

We define two dual tensor network representations of the (3+1)d toric code ground state subspace. These two representations, which are obtained by initially imposing either family…

On the stability of topological order in tensor network states

Dominic J. Williamson, Clement Delcamp, Frank Verstraete +1

We construct a tensor network representation of the 3d toric code ground state that is stable to a generating set of uniform local tensor perturbations, including those that do not…

Rényi free energy and variational approximations to thermal states

Giacomo Giudice, Aslı Çakan, J. Ignacio Cirac +1

We propose the construction of thermodynamic ensembles that minimize the Rényi free energy, as an alternative to Gibbs states. For large systems, the local properties of these Rény…

Quantum simulation with fully coherent dipole--dipole-interactions mediated by three-dimensional subwavelength atomic arrays

Katharina Brechtelsbauer, Daniel Malz

Quantum simulators employing cold atoms are among the most promising approaches to tackle quantum many-body problems. Nanophotonic structures are widely employed to engineer the ba…

Exact thermalization dynamics in the "Rule 54" Quantum Cellular Automaton

Katja Klobas, Bruno Bertini, Lorenzo Piroli

We study the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of the quantum cellular automaton known as "Rule 54". For a class of low-entangled initial states, we provide an analytic description of th…

Generalization of group-theoretic coherent states for variational calculations

Tommaso Guaita, Lucas Hackl, Tao Shi +2

We introduce new families of pure quantum states that are constructed on top of the well-known Gilmore-Perelomov group-theoretic coherent states. We do this by constructing unitari…

Entangling nuclear spins in distant quantum dots via an electron bus

Miguel Bello, Mónica Benito, Martin J. A. Schuetz +2

We propose a protocol for the deterministic generation of entanglement between two ensembles of nuclear spins surrounding two distant quantum dots. The protocol relies on the injec…

Inferring Nonlinear Many-Body Bell Inequalities From Average Two-Body Correlations: Systematic Approach for Arbitrary Spin-j Ensembles

Guillem Müller-Rigat, Albert Aloy, Maciej Lewenstein +1

Violating Bell's inequalities (BIs) allows one to certify the preparation of entangled states from minimal assumptions -- in a device-independent manner. Finding BIs tailored to ma…

Entangled symmetric states and copositive matrices

Carlo Marconi, Albert Aloy, Jordi Tura +1

Entanglement in symmetric quantum states and the theory of copositive matrices are intimately related concepts. For the simplest symmetric states, i.e., the diagonal symmetric (DS)…

Supersymmetric boundaries of one-dimensional phases of fermions beyond symmetry-protected topological states

Alex Turzillo, Minyoung You

It has recently been demonstrated that protected supersymmetry emerges on the boundaries of one-dimensional intrinsically fermionic symmetry protected trivial (SPT) phases. Here we…

Arbitrarily large neutron amplification in subcritical nuclear reactors

Antoine Tilloy

In a subcritical reactor, each neutron produces only keff < 1 neutron per generation (asymptotically and on average), and thus the neutron population decreases exponentially in the…
