The entanglement entropy of a subsystem of a quantum system is expressed, in the replica approach, through analytic continuation with respect to n of the trace of the n-th power of the reduced density matrix. This trace can be thought of as…

We show that a cavity field can evolve from an initial displaced mixed thermal state to a macroscopic superpositions of displaced thermal states via resonant interaction with a two-level atom. As a macroscopic system (meter) is really in a…
A standard insight of the AdS/CFT correspondence is that some aspects of the geometry of a bulk state are encoded in the entanglement structure of its dual boundary state. As entanglement is not a linear quantum observable, this means that…
