Quantum Entanglement in the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev Model and its Generalizations

Pengfei Zhang

Entanglement is one of the most important concepts in quantum physics. We review recent progress in understanding the quantum entanglement in many-body systems using large- solv…

Boundary Condition Independence of Non-Hermitian Hamiltonian Dynamics

Liang Mao, Tianshu Deng, Pengfei Zhang

Non-Hermitian skin effect, namely that the eigenvalues and eigenstates of a non-Hermitian tight-binding Hamiltonian have significant differences under open or periodic boundary con…

Page Curve from Non-Markovianity

Kaixiang Su, Pengfei Zhang, Hui Zhai

In this letter, we use the exactly solvable Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model to address the issue of entropy dynamics when an interacting quantum system is coupled to a non-Markovian enviro…

Expressivity of Quantum Neural Networks

Yadong Wu, Juan Yao, Pengfei Zhang +1

In this work, we address the question whether a sufficiently deep quantum neural network can approximate a target function as accurate as possible. We start with simple but typical…

An obstacle to sub-AdS holography for SYK-like models

Pengfei Zhang, Yingfei Gu, Alexei Kitaev

We argue that "stringy" effects in a putative gravity-dual picture for SYK-like models are related to the branching time, a kinetic coefficient defined in terms of the retarded ker…

More on Complex Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev Eternal Wormholes

Pengfei Zhang

In this work, we study a generalization of the coupled Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model with charge conservations. The model contains two copies of the complex SYK model at dif…
