• Abstract: Two-particle correlations in the proton on the light-front are described by a mixed density matrix obtained by tracing over all other, unobserved, degrees of freedom. We quantify genuinely quantum quark azimuthal correlations in terms of the entanglement negativity measure of Quantum Information Theory. While the two-quark state in color space is one of high entropy and weak quantum correlation, we find that a standard three-quark model wave function from the literature predicts an azimuthally correlated state of low entropy and high entanglement negativity. Low entropy is consistent with expectations for many colors (at fixed 't Hooft coupling $g^2 N_c$) but high negativity indicates substantial two-particle quantum correlations at $N_c=3$. Suppressing quantum correlations associated with entanglement negativity strongly modifies quark pair azimuthal moments $\langle \zeta^n \rangle$, $\zeta = \exp(i (\phi_1-\phi_2))$, intrinsic to the proton state. We also describe how to account for the leading ${\cal O}(g^2)$ correction to the density matrix from light-cone perturbation theory which is due to the presence (or exchange) of a gluon in the proton. This correction increases the entropy and reduces the negativity of the density matrix for quark pair azimuthal correlations. Hence, the entanglement negativity measure may provide novel insight into the structure of the proton state of QCD.

  A quantum simulation of magnetism in trapped-ion systems makes use of the crystal vibrations to mediate pairwise interactions between spins. These interactions can be accounted for by a long-wavelength relativistic theory, where the phonons are described by a coarse-grained Klein-Gordon field. We show that thermal effects, which can be controlled by laser cooling, can unveil this flow through the appearance of thermal masses in interacting QFTs.

  In two-level quantum systems - qubits - unitary dynamics theoretically limit these quantum correlations to $2qrt2$ or 1.5 respectively. Here, using a dissipative, trapped $40$Ca$+$ ion governed by a two-level, non-Hermitian Hamiltonian, we observe correlation values up to 1.703(4) for the Leggett-Garg parameter $K_3$. These excesses occur across the exceptional point of the parity-time symmetric Hamiltonian responsible for the qubit's non-unitary, coherent dynamics.

• Finite-temperature quantum discordant criticality [0.0]
  In quantum statistical mechanics, finite-temperature phase transitions are governed by classical field theories. Recent contributions have shown how entanglement is typically very short-ranged, and thus uninformative about long-ranged critical correlations. We show the existence of finite-temperature phase transitions where a broader form of quantum correlation than entanglement, the entropic quantum discord, can display genuine signatures of critical behavior.
