• Abstract: In the large $N$ limit a physical system might acquire a residual entropy at zero temperature even without ground state degeneracy. At the same time poles in the 2-point function might coalesce and form a branch cut. Both phenomena are related to a high density of states in the large $N$ limit. In this short note we address the question: does a branch cut in the 2-point function always lead to non-zero residual entropy? We argue that for generic fermionic systems in $0+1$ dimensions in the mean-field approximation the answer is positive: branch cut $1/\tau^{2\Delta}$ in the 2-point function does lead to a lower bound $N \log{2}(1/2-\Delta)$ for the entropy. We also comment on higher-dimensional generalizations and relations to the holographic correspondence.

  We analyze the stability of the energy gap to Euclids for Hamiltonians corresponding to general quantum low-density parity-check codes. We discuss implications for the third law of thermodynamics, as $k$-local Hamiltonians can have extensive zero-temperature entropy.

  We compute the entanglement entropy in 2-to-2 scattering of particles in a general setting. Since $sigma_textel$ is generally believed, and observed experimentally, to grow with the collision energy $sqrts$ in the high energy regime, the result suggests a "second law" of entanglement entropy for high energy collisions.

  We address the challenge of exploration in reinforcement learning (RL) when the agent operates in an unknown environment with sparse or no rewards. We study the maximum entropy exploration problem two different types. For visitation entropy, we propose a game-theoretic algorithm that has $widetildemathcalO(H3S2A/varepsilon2)$ sample complexity. For the trajectory entropy, we propose a simple algorithm that has a sample of complexity of order $widetildemathcalO(mathrmpoly(S,

  We calculate the entropy in disjointed intervals $A = cup_i A_i$ under a uniform dilation $lambda A$ in the XY model. We find that in the disjointed intervals, two FSEs, termed as extrinsic FSE and intrinsic FSE, are required to fully account for the FSE of the entropy. Our results provide some incisive insight into the entanglement entropy in the many-body systems.

  A structure composed of two parallel homogeneous layers is studied in the limit as their widths $l_j$ and $l_j$, and the distance between them $r$ shrinks to zero simultaneously. The existence of non-trivial bound states is proven in the squeezing limit, including the particular example of the squeezed potential in the form of the derivative of Dirac's delta function. The scenario how a single bound state survives in the squeezed system from a finite number of bound states in the finite system is described in detail.

  We consider a 2d dipolar system, $d=2$, with the generalized dipole-dipole interaction $sim r-a$, and the power $a$ controlled experimentally in trapped-ion or Rydberg-atom systems. We show that the spatially homogeneous tilt $beta$ of the dipoles giving rise to the anisotropic dipole exchange leads to the non-trivial reentrant localization beyond the locator expansion.
