• Title: Observational entropic study of Anderson localization
• Authors: Ranjan Modak and S. Aravinda
• Abstract summary: We study the behaviour of the observational entropy in the context of localization-delocalization transition for one-dimensional Aubrey-Andr'e model. For a given coarse-graining, it increases logarithmically with system size in the delocalized phase, and obeys area law in the localized phase. We also find the increase of the observational entropy followed by the quantum quench, is logarithmic in time in the delocalized phase as well as at the transition point, while in the localized phase it oscillates.

• Abstract: The notion of the thermodynamic entropy in the context of quantum mechanics is a controversial topic. While there were proposals to refer von Neumann entropy as the thermodynamic entropy, it has it's own limitations. The observational entropy has been developed as a generalization of Boltzmann entropy, and it is presently one of the most promising candidates to provide a clear and well-defined understanding of the thermodynamic entropy in quantum mechanics. In this work, we study the behaviour of the observational entropy in the context of localization-delocalization transition for one-dimensional Aubrey-Andr\'e (AA) model. We find that for the typical mid-spectrum states, in the delocalized phase the observation entropy grows rapidly with coarse-grain size and saturates to the maximal value, while in the localized phase the growth is logarithmic. Moreover, for a given coarse-graining, it increases logarithmically with system size in the delocalized phase, and obeys area law in the localized phase. We also find the increase of the observational entropy followed by the quantum quench, is logarithmic in time in the delocalized phase as well as at the transition point, while in the localized phase it oscillates. Finally, we also venture the self-dual property of the AA model using momentum space coarse-graining.

  We extend the scope of observational entropy by generalizing it to a parameterized version called $alpha$-Observational entropy ($alpha$-OE) We prove various properties of the $alpha$-OE, which are the generalization of the properties of OE. We explore the role of $alpha$-OE in thermodynamic contexts, particularly for the entropy production in open and closed quantum systems.

  We show that local projective measurements induce a qualitative modification of the time-growth of the entanglement entropy. In the stationary regime, the logarithmic behavior of the entanglement entropy do not survive in the thermodynamic limit. We numerically show the existence of a single area-law phase for the entanglement entropy.

  Entanglement entropy is the von Neumann entropy of quantum entanglement of pure states. The relation between entanglement entropy and entanglement distillation has been known only for the setting, and the meaning of entanglement entropy in the single-copy regime has so far remained open. Our results imply that entanglement entropy quantifies the amount of entanglement available in a bipartite pure state to be used for quantum information processing, giving results an operational meaning also in entangled single-copy setup.

  The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) offers a universal mechanism for the approach to equilibrium of closed quantum many-body systems. Here, we propose a theory-independent route to probe the full ETH in quantum simulators by observing the emergence of fluctuation-dissipation relations. Our work presents a theory-independent way to characterize thermalization in quantum simulators and paves the way to quantum simulate condensed matter pump-probe experiments.

• Wehrl entropy production rate across a dynamical quantum phase transition [0.0]
  The quench dynamics of many-body quantum systems may exhibit non-analyticities in the Loschmidt echo. We show that critical quenches lead to a quasi-monotonic growth of the Wehrl entropy in time, combined with small oscillations. The small oscillations imply negative entropy production rates and, therefore, signal the recurrences of the Loschmidt echo.
