We introduce a framework to study discrete-variable (DV) quantum systems based on qudits. It relies on notions of a mean state (MS), a minimal stabilizer-projection state (MSPS), and a new convolution. Some interesting consequences are: The…
A large class of strongly correlated quantum systems can be described in certain large-N limits by quadratic in field actions along with self-consistency equations that determine the two-point functions. We use the replica approach and the…
The Von Neumann entropy of reduced states is a measure of bipartite entanglement. Despite its name, the entanglement entropy cannot by itself be used as a resource for creating thermodynamic heat flows. In order to extract heat from an…
We study the time evolution of the Boltzmann entropy of a microstate during the non-equilibrium free expansion of a one-dimensional quantum ideal gas. This quantum Boltzmann entropy, $S_B$, essentially counts the "number" of independent…
We consider the high gain spontaneous parametric down-conversion in a non collinear geometry as a paradigmatic scenario to investigate the quantum-to-classical transition by increasing the pump power, that is, the average number of…
Entropy measures quantify the amount of information and correlation present in a quantum system. In practice, when the quantum state is unknown and only copies thereof are available, one must resort to the estimation of such entropy…
The decay of a metastable false vacuum by bubble nucleation is studied in the high temperature limit of the gauge theory in which an SO(3) gauge symmetry is spontaneously broken to an SO(2). The effects of internal symmetry are so drastic…
In the topos approach to quantum theory, the spectral presheaf plays the role of the state space of a quantum system. We show how a notion of entropy can be defined within the topos formalism using the equivalence between states and…
In this work we provide a method to study the entanglement entropy for non-Gaussian states that minimize the energy functional of interacting quantum field theories at arbitrary coupling. To this end, we build a class of non-Gaussian…
Entropies associated with spatial subsystems in conventional local quantum field theories are typically divergent when the spatial regions have boundaries. However, in certain linear combinations of the entropies for various subsystems,…
We investigate the universal linear inequalities that hold for the von Neumann entropies in a multi-party system, prepared in a stabiliser state. We demonstrate here that entropy vectors for stabiliser states satisfy, in addition to the…
The entanglement entropy of a pure quantum state of a bipartite system $A \cup B$ is defined as the von Neumann entropy of the reduced density matrix obtained by tracing over one of the two parts. Critical ground states of local…
We analyze the entanglement properties of the asymptotic steady state after a quench from free to hard-core bosons in one dimension. The R\'enyi and von Neumann entanglement entropies are found to be extensive, and the latter coincides with…
We construct a spherically symmetric noncommutative space in three dimensions by foliating the space with concentric fuzzy spheres. We show how to construct a gauge theory in this space and in particular we derive the noncommutative version…
Quantum many-body states that frequently appear in physics often obey an entropy scaling law, meaning that an entanglement entropy of a subsystem can be expressed as a sum of terms that scale linearly with its volume and area, plus a…
Based on the recently introduced averaging procedure in phase space, a new type of entropy is defined on the von Neumann lattice. This quantity can be interpreted as a measure of uncertainty associated with simultaneous measurement of the…
This paper considers quantum communication involving an ensemble of states. Apart from the von Neumann entropy, it considers other measures one of which may be useful in obtaining information about an unknown pure state and another that may…
Consider an ensemble of pure quantum states |\psi_j>, j=1,...,n taken with prior probabilities p_j respectively. We show that it is possible to increase all of the pairwise overlaps |<\psi_i|\psi_j>| i.e. make each constituent pair of the…
How complex is the structure of quantum geometry? In several approaches, the spacetime atoms are obtained by the SU(2) intertwiner called quantum tetrahedron. The complexity of this construction has a concrete consequence in recent efforts…
We study a system of two hardcore bosonic Hubbard models weakly coupled with each other by tunneling. Assuming that the single uncoupled model exhibits off-diagonal long-range order, we prove that the coupled system exhibits spontaneous…
