The asymmetry properties of a state relative to some symmetry group specify how and to what extent the given symmetry is broken by the state. Characterizing these is found to be surprisingly useful for addressing a very common problem: to…
Dicke states form a class of entangled states that has attracted much attention for their applications in various quantum algorithms. They emerge as eigenstates of the Tavis-Cummings Hamiltonian, a simplification of the Dicke model, which…

This work investigates the topological structure of multipartite entanglement in symmetric Dicke states $|D_n^{(k)}\rangle$. By viewing qubits as topological loops, we establish a direct correspondence between the recursive measurement…
Quantum measurements performed on a subsystem of a quantum many-body state can generate entanglement for its remaining constituents. The whole system including the measurement record is described by a hybrid mixed state, which can exhibit…
If a system undergoes symmetric dynamics, then the final state of the system can only break the symmetry in ways in which it was broken by the initial state, and its measure of asymmetry can be no greater than that of the initial state. It…
We investigate multiqubit permutation-symmetric states with maximal entropy of entanglement. Such states can be viewed as particular spin states, namely anticoherent spin states. Using the Majorana representation of spin states in terms of…
Finding the consequences of symmetry for open system quantum dynamics is a problem with broad applications, including describing thermal relaxation, deriving quantum limits on the performance of amplifiers, and exploring quantum metrology…
We build the counterpart of the celebrated Nielsen's theorem for coherence manipulation in this paper. This offers an affirmative answer to the open question: whether, given two states $\rho$ and $\sigma$, either $\rho$ can be transformed…
Instead of the conventional construction of symmetric and antisymmetric states by abruptly projecting with the symmetrizer or antisymmetrizer, this paper investigates rapid but continuous symmetrization via environment-induced decoherence.…
We introduce a new class of quantum many-particle entangled states, called the Dicke squeezed (or DS) states, which can be used to improve the precision in quantum metrology beyond the standard quantum limit. We show that the enhancement in…
Two types of errors can occur when discriminating pairs of quantum states. Asymmetric state discrimination involves minimizing the probability of one type of error, subject to a constraint on the other. We give explicit expressions bounding…
With non-invasive methods, we investigate ground and excited states of a lateral quantum dot. Charge detection via a quantum point contact is used to map the dot dynamics in a regime where the current through the dot is too low for…
We present a method to verify the metrological usefulness of noisy Dicke states of a particle ensemble with only a few collective measurements, without the need for a direct measurement of the sensitivity. Our method determines the…
Multiple quantum coherences are typically characterised by their coherence number and the number of spins that make up the state, though only the coherence number is normally measured. We present a simple set of measurements that extend our…
Symmetries play a central role in both equilibrium and nonequilibrium phase transitions, yet their quantitative characterization in dynamical quantum phase transitions (DQPTs) remains an open challenge. In this work, we establish a direct…
Production and verification of multipartite quantum state are an essential step in quantum information processing. In this work, we propose an efficient method to decompose symmetric multipartite observables, which are invariant under…
A given dynamics for a composite quantum system can exhibit several distinct properties for the asymptotic entanglement behavior, like entanglement sudden death, asymptotic death of entanglement, sudden birth of entanglement, etc. A…
By exploiting the permutation symmetry of Dick states, we derive closed analytical expressions of Schmidt decompositions for {\it all} possible bipartitions of a system described by this kind of state. This allows us to exhaustively compute…
We examine the behavior of the entanglement asymmetry in the ground state of a (1+1)-dimensional conformal field theory with a boundary condition that explicitly breaks a bulk symmetry. Our focus is on the asymmetry of a subsystem $A$…
