- Abstract: Motivated by the quantum process of black hole evaporation and its
implications for symmetries, we consider a qubit system with a random dynamics
as a toy model of black hole. We compute its symmetry-resolved entropies and
discuss its implications. We first consider the case where charges are
conserved and compute the symmetry-resolved entropies. We derive a
symmetry-resolved analogue of the Page curve. We then consider the case where
symmetry is explicitly broken and charges are no longer conserved. It serves as
a toy model for global symmetry breaking in black hole evaporation. Despite the
simple framework, the symmetry-resolved entropies capture various interesting
features during the analogous process of black hole evaporation in our qubit
model.

Recent developments have extended the discussion of symmetry and its breaking to mixed states.
We propose the Wightman correlator as an alternative diagnostic tool.

Entanglement asymmetry is a measure of symmetry breaking in quantum subsystems.

We show that strong symmetry always spontaneously breaks into the corresponding weak symmetry.
We conjecture that this relation among strong-to-weak symmetry breaking, gapless modes, and symmetry-charge diffusion is general for continuous symmetries.

We study the emergence of state designs from the random generator states exhibiting symmetries.
We find faster convergence of the trace distance during the early time evolution in comparison to the cases when the symmetry is broken.
We expect our findings to pave the way for further exploration of deep thermalization and equilibration of closed and open quantum many-body systems.

Hawking's discovery that black holes can evaporate through radiation emission has posed a number of questions.
We employ entanglement asymmetry as a modern, information-based indicator of symmetry breaking.
Our findings imply that the emitted radiation is symmetric up to the Page time and then undergoes a sharp transition.

In extended quantum systems, quantifying how much a symmetry is broken is intrinsically bound to the subsystem of interest.
We introduce a subsystem measure of symmetry breaking that we dub entanglement asymmetry.
We find, expectedly, that larger is the subsystem, slower is the restoration, but also the counterintuitive result that more the symmetry is initially broken, faster it is restored.

Landau argued that, for single particle systems in 1D, tunneling probability remains the same for a particle incident from the left or the right of a barrier.
We show this breaking of the left-right tunneling symmetry for Bose-Einstein condensates in 1D, modelled by the Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE)
We conclude by suggesting applications of the phenomena to design atomtronic diodes, synthetic gauge fields, Maxwell's demons, and black-hole analogues.

Quantum systems governed by non-Hermitian Hamiltonians with $PT$ symmetry are special in having real energy eigenvalues bounded below and unitary time evolution.
We show how $PT$ symmetry may allow interpretations that evade ghosts and instabilities present in an interpretation of the theory within a Hermitian framework.
