• Abstract summary: We consider the binary fragmentation problem in which, at any breakup event, one of the daughter segments survives with probability $p$ or disappears with probability $1!!p$. For a fractal dimension $d_f$, we find that the $d_f$-th moment $M_d_f$ is a conserved quantity, independent of $p$ and $alpha$. In an attempt to connect the symmetry with the conserved quantity, we reinterpret the continuity equation of a Euclidean quantum-mechanical system.

• Abstract: We consider the binary fragmentation problem in which, at any breakup event, one of the daughter segments either survives with probability $p$ or disappears with probability $1\!-\!p$. It describes a stochastic dyadic Cantor set that evolves in time, and eventually becomes a fractal. We investigate this phenomenon, through analytical methods and Monte Carlo simulation, for a generic class of models, where segment breakup points follow a symmetric beta distribution with shape parameter $\alpha$, which also determines the fragmentation rate. For a fractal dimension $d_f$, we find that the $d_f$-th moment $M_{d_f}$ is a conserved quantity, independent of $p$ and $\alpha$. We use the idea of data collapse -- a consequence of dynamical scaling symmetry -- to demonstrate that the system exhibits self-similarity. In an attempt to connect the symmetry with the conserved quantity, we reinterpret the fragmentation equation as the continuity equation of a Euclidean quantum-mechanical system. Surprisingly, the Noether charge corresponding to dynamical scaling is trivial, while $M_{d_f}$ relates to a purely mathematical symmetry: quantum-mechanical phase rotation in Euclidean time.

  We investigate the anisotropic coupled-top model, which describes the interactions between two large spins along both $x-$ and $y-$directions. We can manipulate the system's symmetry, inducing either discrete $Z$ or continuous U(1) symmetry. The framework provides an ideal platform for experimentally controlling symmetries and investigating associated physical phenomena.

  We explore a model of free fermions in one dimension subject to frustrated local measurements across adjacent sites. For maximal misalignment, superdiffusive behavior emerges from the vanishing of the measurement-induced quasiparticle decay rate. Our findings show how intricate fractal-scaling entanglement can be produced for local Hamiltonians.

  A quantum system governed by a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian may exhibit zero temperature phase transitions driven by interactions. We show that when the $mathcalPT$ symmetry is broken, and time-evolution becomes non-unitary, a scaling behavior similar to the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition ensues.

In the phases with $mathcalPT$-symmetry, the OTOC exhibits behaviour akin to what is observed in the Hermitian system.
