• Abstract summary: We study the effect of disorder in the emergence of QD and find that a highly disordered environment is greatly beneficial for it. By introducing the notion of lack of redundancy to quantify objectivity, we show that it behaves analogously to the entanglement entropy (EE) of the environmental eigenstate taken as an initial state.

• Abstract: Quantum darwinism (QD) is the process responsible for the proliferation of redundant information in the environment of a quantum system that is being decohered. This enables independent observers to access separate environmental fragments and reach consensus about the system's state. In this work, we study the effect of disorder in the emergence of QD and find that a highly disordered environment is greatly beneficial for it. By introducing the notion of lack of redundancy to quantify objectivity, we show that it behaves analogously to the entanglement entropy (EE) of the environmental eigenstate taken as an initial state. This allows us to estimate the many-body mobility edge by means of our darwinistic measure, implicating the existence of a critical degree of disorder beyond which the degree of objectivity rises the larger the environment is. The latter hints the key role that disorder may play when the environment is of a thermodynamic size. At last, we show that a highly disordered evolution may reduce the spoiling of redundancy in the presence of intra-environment interactions.

• Dynamical Transition of Operator Size Growth in Quantum Systems Embedded in an Environment [6.659260341668616]
  We predict a transition in quantum systems with all-to-all interactions accompanied by an environment. The transition is driven by the competition between the system intrinsic and environment propelled scramblings and the environment induced dissipation. Our study sheds light on the fundamental behavior of quantum systems in the presence of an 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 investigate the relevance between information scrambling in environment and the emergence of quantum Darwinism. 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 report a phenomenon occurring in open quantum systems by which virtual states can acquire a sizable population in the long time limit. This means that the situation where the virtual state remains unpopulated can be metastable. We show how these results can be relevant for practical questions such as the generation of stable and metastable entangled states in dissipative systems of interacting qubits.

  We argue that a compact and general learning objective is to minimize the entropy of the agent's state visitation estimated using a latent state-space model. This objective induces an agent to both gather information about its environment, corresponding to reducing uncertainty, and to gain control over its environment, corresponding to reducing the unpredictability of future world states.

• 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.
