Given the algebra of observables of a quantum system subject to selection rules, a state can be represented by different density matrices. As a result, different von Neumann entropies can be associated with the same state. Motivated by a…

Recent studies found that the diffusive transport of conserved quantities in non-integrable many-body systems has an imprint on quantum entanglement: while the von Neumann entropy of a state grows linearly in time $t$ under a global quench,…
