Entanglement asymmetry provides a quantitative measure of symmetry breaking in many-body quantum states. Focusing on inhomogeneous $U(1)$ charges, such as dipole and multipole moments, we show that the typical asymmetry is bounded by a…

CPT symmetry is at the heart of the Standard Model of particle physics and experimentally very well tested, but expected to be broken in some approaches to quantum gravity. It thus becomes pertinent to explore which of the two alternatives…

For a quantum state undergoing unitary Schr\"odinger time evolution, the von Neumann entropy is constant. Yet the second law of thermodynamics, and our experience, show that entropy increases with time. Ingarden introduced the quantum…
