Standard entropy calculations in quantum field theory, when applied to a subsystem of definite volume, exhibit area-dependent UV divergences that make a thermodynamic interpretation troublesome. In this paper we define a renormalized…
Denote $M_k$ the set of complex $k$ by $k$ matrices. We will analyze here quantum channels $\phi_L$ of the following kind: given a measurable function $L:M_k\to M_k$ and the measure $\mu$ on $M_k$ we define the linear operator $\phi_L:M_k…
Quantum Spin Liquids (QSLs) are phases of interacting spins that do not order even at the absolute zero temperature, making it impossible to characterize them by a local order parameter. In this article, we review the unique view provided…
