• Abstract summary: "Strange" correlators provide a tool to detect topological phases arising in many-body models. We analyze the sums of the strange correlators, pointing out that integrating their moduli substantially reduces cancellations. Our results extend the validity of the strange correlators approach for the diagnosis of topological phases of matter.

• Abstract: "Strange" correlators provide a tool to detect topological phases arising in many-body models by computing the matrix elements of suitably defined two-point correlations between the states under investigation and trivial reference states. Their effectiveness depends on the choice of the adopted operators. In this paper we give a systematic procedure for this choice, discussing the advantages of choosing operators using the bulk-boundary correspondence of the systems under scrutiny. Via the scaling exponents, we directly relate the algebraic decay of the strange correlators with the scaling dimensions of gapless edge modes operators. We begin our analysis with lattice models hosting symmetry-protected topological phases and we analyze the sums of the strange correlators, pointing out that integrating their moduli substantially reduces cancellations and finite-size effects. We also analyze instances of systems hosting intrinsic topological order, as well as strange correlators between states with different nontrivial topologies. Our results for both translational and non-translational invariant cases, and in presence of on-site disorder and long-range couplings, extend the validity of the strange correlators approach for the diagnosis of topological phases of matter, and indicate a general procedure for their optimal choice.

  Relative representations are an established approach to zero-shot model stitching. We introduce a normalization procedure in the relative transformation, resulting in invariance to non-isotropic rescalings and permutations. Second, we propose to deploy topological densification when fine-tuning relative representations, a topological regularization loss encouraging clustering within classes.

  We introduce a supervised machine learning scheme that uses only the curvature function at the high symmetry points as input data. We show that an artificial neural network trained with the noninteracting data can accurately predict all topological phases in the interacting cases. Intriguingly, the method uncovers a ubiquitous interaction-induced topological quantum multicriticality.

  Out-of-time-orderors (OTOCs) have become established as a tool to characterise quantum information dynamics and thermalisation. We show explicitly that the OTOC is indeed a precise tool to explore the fine details of the Eigenstate Thermalisation Hypothesis (ETH) We provide an estimation of the finite-size scaling of $omega_textrmGOE$ for the general class of observables composed of sums of local operators in the infinite-temperature regime.

  We present a theory of localisation in quasiperiodic chains with nearest-neighbour hoppings, based on the convergence of local propagators. Analysing the convergence of these continued fractions, localisation or its absence can be determined, yielding in turn the critical points and mobility edges. Results are exemplified by analysing the theory for three quasiperiodic models covering a range of behaviour.
