The evolution of a quantum system subject to measurements can be described by stochastic quantum trajectories of pure states. Instead, the ensemble average over trajectories is a mixed state evolving via a master equation. Both descriptions…
It has long been conjectured that the entropy of quantum fields across boundaries scales as the boundary area. This conjecture has not been easy to test in spacetime dimensions greater than four because of divergences in the von Neumann…
We investigate the entangling properties of the color flux tube between a static quark-antiquark pair in pure gauge Yang-Mills theory. In earlier works, we defined a gauge-invariant flux tube entanglement entropy (FTE$^2$), the excess…
