In this paper, we contribute to the mathematical foundations of the recently established theory of Spectrum Broadcast Structures (SBS). These are multipartite quantum states, encoding an operational notion of objectivity and exhibiting a…
Spectrum Broadcast Structures are a new and fresh concept in the quantum-to-classical transition, introduced recently in the context of decoherence and the appearance of objective features in quantum mechanics. These are specific quantum…
Objectivity constitutes one of the main features of the macroscopic classical world. An important aspect of the quantum-to-classical transition issue is to explain how such a property arises from the microscopic quantum world. Recently,…
We investigate quantum objectivity in the boson-spin model, where a central harmonic oscillator interacts with a thermal bath of spin-1/2 systems. We analyze how information about a continuous position variable can be encoded into discrete,…
Spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) is responsible for structure formation in scenarios ranging from condensed matter to cosmology. SSB is broadly understood in terms of perturbations to the Hamiltonian governing the dynamics or to the…
The non-Markovian dynamics of open quantum systems is still a challenging task, particularly in the non-perturbative regime at low temperatures. While the Stochastic Liouville-von Neumann equation (SLN) provides a formally exact tool to…
How the objective everyday world emerges from the underlying quantum behaviour of its microscopic constituents is an open question at the heart of the foundations of quantum mechanics. Quantum Darwinism and spectrum broadcast structure are…
The states of an open quantum system interact ("talk") with one another via the extended environment into which the localized system is embedded. This interaction is mediated by the source term of the Schr\"odinger equation which describes…
We prove a theorem for coding mixed-state quantum signals. For a class of coding schemes, the von Neumann entropy $S$ of the density operator describing an ensemble of mixed quantum signal states is shown to be equal to the number of…
Multicomponent-multiband fluxes of spim-charge carriers, whose components propagate mixed and synchronously, with \emph{a priori} nonzero incoming amplitudes, do not obey the standard unitarity condition on the scattering matrix for an…
We study spectral properties of quantum many-body Hamiltonians through a subsystem-based framework. Given a Hamiltonian of the form $H = \sum_{X \subseteq \Lambda} \Phi(X)$ acting on a tensor product Hilbert space, we associate to each…
We prove that for any finite set of generalized valence bond solid (GVBS) states of a quantum spin chain there exists a translation invariant finite-range Hamiltonian for which this set is the set of ground states. This result implies that…
In a recent Letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. 122, 010403 (2019)], an equivalence is proposed between the so-called Spectrum Broadcast Structure for a system-multienvironment quantum state, and the conjunction of two information-theory notions: (a)…
We examine the dynamics of subsystems of bipartite and tripartite quantum systems with nonlinear Hamiltonians. We consider two models which capture the generic features of open quantum systems: a three-level atom interacting with a…
Recently, the emergence of classical objectivity as a property of a quantum state has been explicitly derived for a small object embedded in a photonic environment in terms of a spectrum broadcast form---a specific classically correlated…
Certain pure-state symmetry-protected topological orders (SPT) can be used as a resource for transmitting quantum information. Here, we investigate the ability to transmit quantum information using decohered SPT states, and relate this…
We revisit decoherence process of a qubit register interacting with a thermal bosonic bath. We generalize the previous studies by considering not only the register's behavior but also of a part of its environment. In particular, we are…
Symmetry-based classification of quantum phases of matter is one of the most foundational organizing principles in physics; however, an analogous framework for mixed, decohered quantum states has only begun to emerge. A central new concept…
