A Structural Theory of Quantum Metastability: Markov Properties and Area Laws
Thiago Bergamaschi, Chi-Fang Chen, Umesh Vazirani
Statistical mechanics assumes that a quantum many-body system at low temperature can be effectively described by its Gibbs state. However, many complex quantum systems exist only a…
