Diffusive Relaxation of Participation Entropy in U(1)-symmetric Dynamics

Hanchen Liu, Tianci Zhou, Xiao Chen

Participation entropy (PE) quantifies the spread of a many-body wavefunction across configuration space. While PE relaxes rapidly in generic chaotic systems, we show that $\mathrm{…

Low Rank Structure of the Reduced Transition Matrix

Cathy Li, Bruno Bertini, Katja Klobas +1

The influence-matrix formalism provides an alternative route to the classical simulation of quantum dynamics. Because influence matrices retain information only about the effective…

Anomalous transport in non-integrable classical field theories

Matija Koterle, Tomaz Prosen, Tianci Zhou

Anomalous KPZ spin transport is well established in integrable non-Abelian lattice models but has not been investigated in continuum field theories as discretization in numerics ge…

An efficient algorithm to compute entanglement in states with low magic

ChunJun Cao, Gong Cheng, Tianci Zhou

A bottleneck for analyzing the interplay between magic and entanglement is the computation of these quantities in highly entangled quantum many-body magic states. Efficient extract…

Probing the Critical Point (CritPt) of AI Reasoning: a Frontier Physics Research Benchmark

Minhui Zhu, Minyang Tian, Xiaocheng Yang +61

While large language models (LLMs) with reasoning capabilities are progressing rapidly on high-school math competitions and coding, can they reason effectively through complex, ope…

Operator Spreading, Duality, and the Noisy Long-Range FKPP Equation

Tianci Zhou, Éric Brunet, Xiaolin Qi

Operator spreading provides a new characterization of quantum chaos beyond the semi-classical limit. There are two complementary views of how the characteristic size of an operator…

Two-stage relaxation of operators through domain wall and magnon dynamics

Cheryne Jonay, Cathy Li, Tianci Zhou

The out-of-time ordered correlator (OTOC) has become a popular probe for quantum information spreading and thermalization. In systems with local interactions, the OTOC defines a ch…

Universality classes for purification in nonunitary quantum processes

Andrea De Luca, Chunxiao Liu, Adam Nahum +1

We consider universal aspects of two problems: (i) the slow purification of a large number of qubits by repeated quantum measurements, and (ii) the singular value structure of a pr…

A Physical Theory of Two-stage Thermalization

Cheryne Jonay, Tianci Zhou

One indication of thermalization time is subsystem entanglement reaching thermal values. Recent studies on local quantum circuits reveal two exponential stages with decay rates $r_…
