• Abstract summary: Identical quantum subsystems can possess a property which does not have any classical counterpart: indistinguishability. We present a coherent formalization of the concept of deformation in a general $N$-particle scenario. We discuss the inherent role of spatial deformations as entanglement activators within the "spatially localized operations and classical communication" operational framework.

• Abstract: Identical quantum subsystems can possess a property which does not have any classical counterpart: indistinguishability. As a long-debated phenomenon, identical particles' indistinguishability has been shown to be at the heart of various fundamental physical results. When concerned with the spatial degree of freedom, identical constituents can be made indistinguishable by overlapping their spatial wave functions via appropriately defined spatial deformations. By the laws of quantum mechanics, any measurement designed to resolve a quantity which depends on the spatial degree of freedom only and performed on the regions of overlap is not able to assign the measured outcome to one specific particle within the system. The result is an entangled state where the measured property is shared between the identical constituents. In this work, we present a coherent formalization of the concept of deformation in a general $N$-particle scenario, together with a suitable measure of the degree of indistinguishability. We highlight the basic differences with nonidentical particles scenarios and discuss the inherent role of spatial deformations as entanglement activators within the "spatially localized operations and classical communication" operational framework.

  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.

• Background Independence and Quantum Causal Structure [0.0]
  One of the key ways in which quantum mechanics differs from relativity is that it requires a fixed background reference frame for spacetime. A combination of the two theories is expected to yield non-classical, or "indefinite", causal structures. We present a background-independent formulation of the process matrix formalism.

• Dynamical symmetrization of the state of identical particles [0.0]
  We propose a model for state symmetrization of two identical particles produced in spacelike-separated events by independent sources. As the particles approach each other, a quantum jump takes place upon particle collision, which erases their distinguishability. We show that symmetric measurements performed on identical particles can in principle discriminate between the product and symmetrized states.

  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.

  Coherence is a fundamental notion in quantum mechanics, defined relative to a reference basis. We put forward a notion of localizable coherence as the coherence that can be stored in a particular subsystem.

  Quantum Hall systems are characterized by the quantization of the Hall conductance -- a bulk property rooted in the topological structure of the underlying quantum states. Here, we realize a quantum Hall system using ultracold dysprosium atoms, in a two-dimensional geometry formed by one spatial dimension. We demonstrate that the large number of magnetic sublevels leads to distinct bulk and edge behaviors.
