Abstract
Entanglement is at the core of quantum physics, playing a central role in quantum phenomena involving composite systems. According to the timeless picture of quantum dynamics, entanglement may also be essential for understanding the very origins of dynamical evolution and the flow of time. Within this point of view, the Universe is regarded as a bipartite entity comprising a clock and a system (or "rest of the Universe") jointly described by a global stationary state, and the dynamical evolution of is construed as an emergent phenomena arising from the entanglement between and . In spite of substantial recent efforts, many aspects of this approach remain unexplored, particularly those involving mixed states. In the present contribution we investigate the timeless picture of quantum dynamics for mixed states of the clock-system composite, focusing on quantitative relations linking the clock-system entanglement with the emerging dynamical evolution experienced by the system.
