• Abstract: We investigate the implications of quantum Darwinism in a composite quantum system with interacting constituents exhibiting a decoherence-free subspace. We consider a two-qubit system coupled to an $N$-qubit environment via a dephasing interaction. For excitation preserving interactions between the system qubits, an analytical expression for the dynamics is obtained. It demonstrates that part of the system Hilbert space redundantly proliferates its information to the environment, while the remaining subspace is decoupled and preserves clear non-classical signatures. For measurements performed on the system, we establish that a non-zero quantum discord is shared between the composite system and the environment, thus violating the conditions of strong Darwinism. However, due to the asymmetry of quantum discord, the information shared with the environment is completely classical for measurements performed on the environment. Our results imply a dichotomy between objectivity and classicality that emerges when considering composite systems.

• Entanglement of Disjoint Intervals in Dual-Unitary Circuits: Exact Results [49.1574468325115]
  The growth of the entanglement between a disjoint subsystem and its complement after a quantum quench is regarded as a dynamical chaos indicator. We show that for almost all dual unitary circuits the entanglement dynamics agrees with what is expected for chaotic systems. Despite having many conserved charges, charge-conserving dual-unitary circuits are in general not Yang-Baxter integrable.

  We add strong support to the relational concept of time by deriving the time-dependent Schroedinger equation for a system from an energy eigenstate of the global Hamiltonian consisting of system, environment and their interaction. Our results are consistent with concepts for the emergence of time where interaction has been taken into account at the expense of a semiclassical treatment of the environment.

• Perturbation theory under the truncated Wigner approximation reveals how system-environment entanglement formation drives quantum decoherence [0.0]
  Quantum decoherence is the disappearance of simple phase relations within a discrete quantum system as a result of interactions with an environment. We introduce a theoretical framework wherein we combine the truncated Wigner approximation with standard time-dependent perturbation theory. We show that the selective suppression of low-frequency environmental modes is particularly effective for mitigating quantum decoherence.

We show that when the system shows a Darwinistic behavior system information that is initially localized in the environment is not scrambled, while when Darwinism disappears scrambling occurs.

  We introduce a family of neural quantum states for the simulation of strongly interacting systems in the presence of periodicity. For one-dimensional systems we find very precise estimations of the ground-state energies and the radial distribution functions of the particles. In two dimensions we obtain good estimations of the ground-state energies, comparable to results obtained from more conventional methods.

  We investigate how quantum discord is modified by a quantum-to-classical transition. We find that the evolution of quantum discord in presence of an environment is a competition between the growth of the squeezing amplitude and the decrease of the state purity.

• Quantum Darwinism in a structured spin environment [0.0]
  We introduce an extended spin-star model where the system is coupled to $N$ independent spin-chains. Each site of the chain then lives in a definite layer of the environment, and hence we term this the "onion" model. Considering a fully factorized initial state for all constituent sub-systems, we then examine how the emergence and proliferation of signatures of quantum Darwinism are delicately dependent on the chain interaction.

• Multidimensional dark space and its underlying symmetries: towards dissipation-protected qubits [62.997667081978825]
  We show that a controlled interaction with the environment may help to create a state, dubbed as em dark'', which is immune to decoherence. To encode quantum information in the dark states, they need to span a space with a dimensionality larger than one, so different states act as a computational basis. This approach offers new possibilities for storing, protecting and manipulating quantum information in open systems.
