• Abstract summary: A quantum coordinate-entropy formulated in quantum phase space has been recently proposed together with an entropy law. We show that the entropy associated with coherent states evolving under a Dirac Hamiltonian is increasing. We then analyze the impact of the entropy law for the evolution scenarios described above and explore the possibility that entropy oscillations trigger the annihilation and the creation of particles.

• Abstract: A quantum coordinate-entropy formulated in quantum phase space has been recently proposed together with an entropy law that asserts that such entropy can not decrease over time. The coordinate-entropy is dimensionless, a relativistic scalar, and it is invariant under coordinate and CPT transformations. We study here the time evolution of this entropy. We show that the entropy associated with coherent states evolving under a Dirac Hamiltonian is increasing. However, for the collisions of two particles, where each is evolving as a coherent state, as they come closer to each other their spatial entanglement causes the total system's entropy to oscillate. We augment time reversal with time translation and show that CPT with time translation can transform particles with decreasing entropy for a finite time interval into anti-particles with increasing entropy for the same finite time interval. We then analyze the impact of the entropy law for the evolution scenarios described above and explore the possibility that entropy oscillations trigger the annihilation and the creation of particles.

We observe that the entanglement phase transitions occurring in the stationary state have the same nature as that occurring in the vacuum of the non-hermitian Hamiltonian.

  We study holographic entanglement entropy in dS/CFT and introduce time-like entanglement entropy in CFTs. Both of them take complex values in general and are related with each other via an analytical continuation. We find that the imaginary part of pseudo entropy implies an emergence of time in dS/CFT.

  In quantum mechanics the evolution of quantum states is symmetrical about time-reversal, resulting in a contradiction between thermodynamic entropy and quantum entropy. We study the W entropy, which is calculated from the probability distribution of the wave function on Wannier basis, in hard-core boson system.

• Catalytic Transformations of Pure Entangled States [62.997667081978825]
  Entanglement entropy is the von Neumann entropy of quantum entanglement of pure states. The relation between entanglement entropy and entanglement distillation has been known only for the setting, and the meaning of entanglement entropy in the single-copy regime has so far remained open. Our results imply that entanglement entropy quantifies the amount of entanglement available in a bipartite pure state to be used for quantum information processing, giving results an operational meaning also in entangled single-copy setup.

Expanding spacetime as well as the background oscillating inflaton field are mimicked in the non-relativistic limit. The proposed experiment has the potential of exploring the evolution up to late times even beyond the weak coupling regime.
