• Abstract: We consider free fermion systems in arbitrary dimensions and represent the occupation pattern of each eigenstate as a classical binary string. We find that the Kolmogorov complexity of the string correctly captures the scaling behavior of its entanglement entropy (EE). In particular, the logarithmically-enhanced area law for EE in the ground state and the volume law for EE in typical highly excited states are reproduced. Since our approach does not require bipartitioning the system, it allows us to distinguish typical and atypical eigenstates directly by their intrinsic complexity. We reveal that the fraction of atypical eigenstates which do not thermalize in the free fermion system vanishes exponentially in the thermodynamic limit. Our results illustrate explicitly the connection between complexity and EE of individual pure states in quantum systems.

  Investigation of discrete-time transport in a generic U(1)-symmetric disordered model tuned across an array of different dynamical regimes. We develop an aggregate quantity, a circular statistical moment, which is a simple function of the magnetization profile. From this quantity we extract transport exponents, revealing behaviors across the phase diagram consistent with localized, diffusive, and - most interestingly for a disordered system - superdiffusive regimes.

  Entanglement entropy provides insight into the collective degrees of freedom that underlie the systems' complex behaviours. We report the experimental verification of the predictions by probing the nonlocal correlations in phononic systems. The progress here opens a frontier where entanglement entropy serves as an important experimental tool in the study of emergent phases and phase transitions.

• Canonical typicality under general quantum channels [39.58317527488534]
  In the present work we employ quantum channels to define generalized subsystems. We show that generalized subsystems also display the phenomena of canonical typicality. In particular we demonstrate that the property regulating the emergence of the canonical typicality behavior is the entropy of the channel used to define the generalized subsystem.

• Entanglement of Harmonic Systems in Squeezed States [0.0]
  We extend the study of entanglement of harmonic systems to the case of the most general Gaussian states, namely the squeezed states. We find the eigenstates and the spectrum of the reduced density matrix and we calculate the entanglement entropy. We expect this behaviour to hold in higher dimensions as well, as it emerges in a large-squeezing expansion of the entanglement entropy for a general harmonic system.

• Quantum correlation entropy [0.0]
  We study quantum coarse-grained entropy and demonstrate that the gap in entropy between local and global coarse-grainings is a natural generalization of entanglement entropy to mixed states and multipartite systems. This "quantum correlation entropy" $Srm QC$ is additive over independent systems, measures total nonclassical correlations, and reduces to the entanglement entropy for bipartite pure states.
