• Abstract: The exact renormalization group (ERG) is a powerful tool for understanding the formal properties of field theories. By adapting generalized ERG schemes to the flow of wavefunctionals, we obtain a large class of continuous unitary networks, a special case of which includes a class of Gaussian continuous Multi-scale Renormalization Ansatzes (cMERAs). The novel feature of these generalized wavefunctional ERG schemes is allowing for modifications of the dispersion relation, which drastically changes the entanglement structure of the ultraviolet states. Through our construction, we demonstrate that cMERA can be derived from a more fundamental "microscopic" principle, which amounts to the usual RG principle of path integral independence, suitably adapted to quantum states of the field theory. The establishment of such a principle may provide a path forward for exploring cMERA beyond the free field regime, and for understanding the nature of entanglement renormalization intrinsically in the continuum.

We demonstrate that without the need for fine-tuning, it can reproduce the universal step-scaling function of the classical lattice XY model in the massive phase as we approach the phase transition.

• Bayesian Renormalization [68.8204255655161]
  We present a fully information theoretic approach to renormalization inspired by Bayesian statistical inference. The main insight of Bayesian Renormalization is that the Fisher metric defines a correlation length that plays the role of an emergent RG scale. We provide insight into how the Bayesian Renormalization scheme relates to existing methods for data compression and data generation.

  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.

  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.
