• Abstract: We investigate a spatial subsystem entropy extracted from the one-particle density matrix (OPDM) in one-dimensional disordered interacting fermions that host a many-body localized (MBL) phase. Deep in the putative MBL regime, this OPDM entropy exhibits the salient features of localization, despite not being a proper entanglement measure. We numerically show that the OPDM entropy of the eigenstates obeys an area law. Similar to the von-Neumann entropy, the OPDM entropy grows logarithmically with time after a quantum quench, albeit with a different prefactor. Both these features survive at moderately large interactions and well towards the transition into the ergodic phase. The computational cost to calculate the OPDM entropy scales only polynomially with the system size, suggesting that the OPDM provides a promising starting point for developing diagnostic tools for MBL in simulations and experiments.

  We investigate the role of the permutationally invariant part of the density matrix (PIDM) in capturing the properties of the ground state of the system during a quantum phase transition. Considering the transverse-field Ising chain as an example, we compute the second-order R'enyi entropy of PIDM for the ground state. We discuss the cause of these behaviors of the R'enyi entropy of PIDM, examining the possible application of this experimentally tractable quantity to the analysis of phase transition phenomena.

  Partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) provide a flexible representation for real-world decision and control problems. POMDPs are notoriously difficult to solve, especially when the state and observation spaces are continuous or hybrid. We propose a theory characterizing the approximation error of the particle filtering techniques that these algorithms use.
