• Abstract: A formidable perspective in understanding quantum criticality of a given many-body system is through its entanglement contents. Until now, most progress are only limited to the disorder-free case. Here, we develop an efficient scheme to compute the entanglement entropy of $(2+1)$-dimensional quantum critical points with randomness, from a conceptually novel angle where the quenched disorder can be considered as dimensionally reducible interactions. As a concrete example, we reveal novel entanglement signatures of $(2+1)$-dimensional Dirac fermion exposed to a random magnetic field, which hosts a class of emergent disordered quantum critical points. We demonstrate that the entanglement entropy satisfies the area-law scaling, and observe a modification of the area-law coefficient that points to the emergent disordered quantum criticality. Moreover, we also obtain the sub-leading correction to the entanglement entropy due to a finite correlation length. This sub-leading correction is found to be a universal function of the correlation length and disorder strength. We discuss its connection to the renormalization group flows of underlying theories.

  Clifford circuits can be utilized to disentangle quantum state with cost, thanks to the Gottesman-Knill theorem. Based on this idea, Clifford Circuits Augmented Matrix Product States ( CAMPS) was proposed recently and was shown to be able to reduce entanglement in various quantum systems. In this work, we explore the power of CAMPS method in critical spin chains described by conformal field theories (CFTs) in the scaling limit.

  At quantum critical points, correlations decay as a power law, with exponents determined by a set of universal scaling dimensions. Here, we employ a Rydberg quantum simulator to adiabatically prepare critical ground states of both a one-dimensional ring and a two-dimensional square lattice. By accounting for and tuning the openness of our quantum system, we are able to directly observe power-law correlations and extract the corresponding scaling dimensions.

• Finite-temperature quantum discordant criticality [0.0]
  In quantum statistical mechanics, finite-temperature phase transitions are governed by classical field theories. Recent contributions have shown how entanglement is typically very short-ranged, and thus uninformative about long-ranged critical correlations. We show the existence of finite-temperature phase transitions where a broader form of quantum correlation than entanglement, the entropic quantum discord, can display genuine signatures of critical behavior.

  We introduce a quantum version for the statistical complexity measure, in the context of quantum information theory, and use it as a signalling function of quantum order-disorder transitions. We apply our measure to two exactly solvable Hamiltonian models, namely: the $1D$-Quantum Ising Model and the Heisenberg XXZ spin-$1/2$ chain. We also compute this measure for one-qubit and two-qubit reduced states for the considered models, and analyse its behaviour across its quantum phase transitions for finite system sizes as well as in the thermodynamic limit by using Bethe ansatz.
