On the origin of energy gaps in quasicrystalline potentials

Emmanuel Gottlob, David Gröters, Ulrich Schneider

Quasicrystals, structures that are ordered yet aperiodic, defy conventional band theory, confining most studies to finite-size real-space numerics. We overcome this limitation with…

Local fermion density in inhomogeneous free-fermion chains: a discrete WKB approach

Martín Zapata, Federico Finkel, Artemio González-López

We introduce a novel analytical approach for studying free-fermion (XX) chains with smoothly varying, site-dependent hoppings and magnetic fields. Building on a discrete WKB-like a…

Continuous matrix product operators for quantum fields

Erickson Tjoa, J. Ignacio Cirac

In this work we introduce an ansatz for continuous matrix product operators for quantum field theory. We show that (i) they admit a closed-form expression in terms of finite number…

Krylov Complexity Meets Confinement

Xuhao Jiang, Jad C. Halimeh, N. S. Srivatsa

In high-energy physics, confinement denotes the tendency of fundamental particles to remain bound together, preventing their observation as free, isolated entities. Interestingly,…

A source of heralded atom-photon entanglement for quantum networking

Gianvito Chiarella, Tobias Frank, Leart Zuka +2

Communication in quantum networks suffers notoriously from photon loss. Resulting errors can be mitigated with a suitable measurement herald at the receiving node. However, waiting…

Metallurgy at the nanoscale: domain walls in nanoalloys

Grégoire Breyton, Hakim Amara, Jaysen Nelayah +8

In binary alloys, domain walls play a central role not only on the phase transitions but also on their physical properties and were at the heart of the 70's metallurgy research. Wh…

The Magic Barrier before Thermalization

Lukas Ebner, Berndt Müller, Andreas Schäfer +3

We investigate the time dependence of anti-flatness in the entanglement spectrum, a measure for non-stabilizerness and lower bound for non-local quantum magic resource, on a subsys…

Process Tensor Approaches to Non-Markovian Quantum Dynamics

Jonathan Keeling, E. Miles Stoudenmire, Mari-Carmen Bañuls +1

The paradigm of considering open quantum systems -- i.e. focusing only on the system of interest, and treating the rest of the world as an effective environment -- has proven to be…
