• Abstract summary: characterization of a finite subsystem embedded in an infinite system is a fundamental question of quantum physics. We develop a mathematical framework to treat this problem in the one-dimensional case where the finite system is composed of two disjoint intervals. We compute the change in the entanglement and negativity namely the spectrum of eigenvalues of the reduced density matrix with our without time reversal of one of the intervals. The method we use can be easily applied to compute any power in an expansion in the ratio of the distance between the intervals to their size.

• Abstract: The statistical mechanics characterization of a finite subsystem embedded in an infinite system is a fundamental question of quantum physics. Nevertheless, a full closed form { for all required entropic measures} does not exist in the general case even for free systems when the finite system in question is composed of several disjoint intervals. Here we develop a mathematical framework based on the Riemann-Hilbert approach to treat this problem in the one-dimensional case where the finite system is composed of two disjoint intervals and in the thermodynamic limit (both intervals and the space between them contains an infinite number of lattice sites and the result is given as a thermodynamic expansion). To demonstrate the usefulness of our method, we compute the change in the entanglement and negativity namely the spectrum of eigenvalues of the reduced density matrix with our without time reversal of one of the intervals. We do this in the case that the distance between the intervals is much larger than their size. The method we use can be easily applied to compute any power in an expansion in the ratio of the distance between the intervals to their size. {We expect these results to provide the necessary mathematical apparatus to address relevant questions in concrete physical scenarios, namely the structure and extent of quantum correlations in fermionic systems subject to local environment.

  We analytically study the scaling of quantum correlation measures on a one-dimensional containing a noninteracting impurity. We derive the exact form of the subleading logarithmic corrections to the extensive terms of correlation measures. This echoes the case of equilibrium states, where such logarithmic terms may convey universal information about the physical system.

• Growth of entanglement of generic states under dual-unitary dynamics [77.34726150561087]
  Dual-unitary circuits are a class of locally-interacting quantum many-body systems. In particular, they admit a class of solvable" initial states for which, in the thermodynamic limit, one can access the full non-equilibrium dynamics. We show that in this case the entanglement increment during a time step is sub-maximal for finite times, however, it approaches the maximal value in the infinite-time limit.

• Onset of many-body quantum chaos due to breaking integrability [0.0]
  We argue that the onset of quantum chaos can be described as a Fock-space delocalization process. The integrability-breaking perturbation introduces hopping in this Fock space, and chaos sets in when this hopping delocalizes the many-body eigenstates in this space. In either case, the perturbation strength at the onset of chaos scales to zero in the usual thermodynamic limit.

  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 also address the particle and energy current flowing through the system in a minimal two-bath scheme and find that they hold the structure of Landauer's formula.

• The role of boundary conditions in quantum computations of scattering observables [58.720142291102135]
  Quantum computing may offer the opportunity to simulate strongly-interacting field theories, such as quantum chromodynamics, with physical time evolution. As with present-day calculations, quantum computation strategies still require the restriction to a finite system size. We quantify the volume effects for various $1+1$D Minkowski-signature quantities and show that these can be a significant source of systematic uncertainty.

We show that the entanglement entropy of a Fock state can scale either logarithmically or linearly with subsystem size. We also use this formalism to describe entanglement dynamics of an open quantum system starting with a single domain wall at the center of the system.
