• Abstract summary: An analysis is given of the local phase space of gravity coupled to matter to second order in perturbation theory. The boundary modes take the role of reference frames for both diffeomorphisms and internal Lorentz rotations. A multi-fingered Schr"odinger equation determines the relational evolution of the quantum states in the bulk.

• Abstract: An analysis is given of the local phase space of gravity coupled to matter to second order in perturbation theory. Working in local regions with boundaries at finite distance, we identify matter, Coulomb, and additional boundary modes. The boundary modes take the role of reference frames for both diffeomorphisms and internal Lorentz rotations. Passing to the quantum level, we identify the constraints that link the bulk and boundary modes. The constraints take the form of a multi-fingered Schr\"odinger equation, which determines the relational evolution of the quantum states in the bulk with respect to the quantum reference fields at the boundary.

• Entanglement swapping in critical quantum spin chains [0.0]
  Transfer of quantum information between many-qubit states is a subject of fundamental importance in quantum science and technology. We consider entanglement swapping in critical quantum spin chains, where the entanglement between the two chains is induced solely by the Bell-state measurements. We show that the swapped entanglement exhibits a logarithmic scaling, whose coefficient takes a universal value determined by the scaling dimension of the boundary condition changing operator.

• Driven transparent quantum graphs [0.0]
  We address the problem of transparent boundary conditions for quantum graphs, building on previous work on transparent boundary conditions for the stationary Schrodinger equation on a line. We also discuss how the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a quantum graph are influenced not only by its topology, but also by the shape of a potential when an external field is involved.

• Curvature from multipartite entanglement in quantum gravity states [0.0]
  We investigate the multipartite entanglement of a uniformly curved quantum 3D space region with boundary. We find three entanglement regimes depending on the ratio between the number of tags (curvature) and the area of the dual surface at the boundary.

  We study phase transitions occurring in the stationary state of the dynamics of integrable many-body non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. We observe that the entanglement phase transitions occurring in the stationary state have the same nature as that occurring in the vacuum of the non-hermitian Hamiltonian.

  We extend the notion of quantum speed limits to collections of quantum states. For two-qubit systems, we show that the fastest transformation implements two Hadamards and a swap of the qubits simultaneously. For qutrit systems the evolution time depends on the particular type of the unbiased basis.

By joining two structures with different spatial modulations, we find long-lived interface states which may have applications in storage and quantum information processing.
