- Authors: Anatoly Dymarsky and Alfred Shapere
- Abstract summary: We discuss the holographic description of Narain $U(1)ctimes U(1)c$ conformal field theories.
In the large central charge limit the density of states of any Narain theory is bounded by below by the density of states of $U(1)$ gravity.

- Abstract: We discuss the holographic description of Narain $U(1)^c\times U(1)^c$
conformal field theories, and their potential similarity to conventional weakly
coupled gravity in the bulk, in the sense that the effective IR bulk
description includes "$U(1)$ gravity" amended with additional light degrees of
freedom. Starting from this picture, we formulate the hypothesis that in the
large central charge limit the density of states of any Narain theory is
bounded by below by the density of states of $U(1)$ gravity. This immediately
implies that the maximal value of the spectral gap for primary fields is
$\Delta_1=c/(2\pi e)$. To test the self-consistency of this proposal, we study
its implications using chiral lattice CFTs and CFTs based on quantum stabilizer
codes. First we notice that the conjecture yields a new bound on quantum
stabilizer codes, which is compatible with previously known bounds in the
literature. We proceed to discuss the variance of the density of states, which
for consistency must be vanishingly small in the large-$c$ limit. We consider
ensembles of code and chiral theories and show that in both cases the density
variance is exponentially small in the central charge.

We show how confinement in a $mathbbZ$ LGT can be textitlocally avoided by proximity to a resonance between the fermion mass and the electric field strength.
Our findings provide deeper insights into the nature of confinement in $mathbbZ$ LGTs and can be tested on current and near-term quantum devices.

Lattice gauge theories (LGTs) provide valuable insights into problems in strongly correlated many-body systems.
Here we develop a mean-field theory of a paradigmatic 1D+1D $mathbbZ$ lattice gauge theory.
This simple LGT can be implemented in state-of-the art cold atom experiments.

In two-level quantum systems - qubits - unitary dynamics theoretically limit these quantum correlations to $2qrt2$ or 1.5 respectively.
Here, using a dissipative, trapped $40$Ca$+$ ion governed by a two-level, non-Hermitian Hamiltonian, we observe correlation values up to 1.703(4) for the Leggett-Garg parameter $K_3$.
These excesses occur across the exceptional point of the parity-time symmetric Hamiltonian responsible for the qubit's non-unitary, coherent dynamics.

Conjecture [68.8204255655161]
We argue that for generic black hole parameters as initial conditions for Einstein equations, the metric is $C0$-extendable to a larger Lorentzian manifold.
We prove it violates the "complexity=volume" conjecture for a low-temperature hyperbolic AdS$_d+1$ black hole dual to a CFT living on a ($d-1$)-dimensional hyperboloid $H_d-1$.

We consider the dynamics of excited local states in massive scalar field theory in an arbitrary spacetime dimension.
We identify different regimes of their evolution depending on the values of the field mass and the quench regularization parameter.
We also investigate the local quenches in massive scalar field theory on a cylinder and show that they cause an erratic and chaotic-like evolution of observables.

Quantum theory predicts the existence of genuinely tripartite-entangled states, which cannot be obtained from local operations.
In this work, we verify that such tripartite correlations are experimentally achievable.

Quantum systems governed by non-Hermitian Hamiltonians with $PT$ symmetry are special in having real energy eigenvalues bounded below and unitary time evolution.
We show how $PT$ symmetry may allow interpretations that evade ghosts and instabilities present in an interpretation of the theory within a Hermitian framework.
