• Title: On the Relativistic Spatial Localization for massive real scalar Klein-Gordon quantum particles
• Authors: Valter Moretti
• Abstract summary: I rigorously analyze a proposal, introduced by D.R.Terno, about a spatial localization observable for a Klein-Gordon massive real particle. I prove that these POVMs are actually a kinematic deformation of the Newton-Wigner PVMs. The validity of the complete Castrigiano's causality requirement is also proved for a notion of spatial localization which generalizes Terno's one in a natural way.

• Abstract: I rigorously analyze a proposal, introduced by D.R.Terno, about a spatial localization observable for a Klein-Gordon massive real particle in terms of a Poincar\'e-covariant family of POVMs. I prove that these POVMs are actually a kinematic deformation of the Newton-Wigner PVMs. The first moment of one of these POVMs however exactly coincides with a restriction (on a core) of the Newton-Wigner selfadjoint position operator, though the second moment does not. This fact permits to preserve all nice properties of the Newton-Wigner position observable, dropping the unphysical features arising from the Hegerfeldt theorem. The considered POVM does not permit spatially sharply localized states, but it admits families of almost localized states with arbitrary precision. Next, I establish that the Terno localization observable satisfies part of a requirement introduced by D.P.L.Castrigiano about causal temporal evolution concerning the Lebesgue measurable spatial regions of any Minkowskian reference frame. The validity of the complete Castrigiano's causality requirement is also proved for a notion of spatial localization which generalizes Terno's one in a natural way.

• Localization transitions in quadratic systems without quantum chaos [0.0]
  We study the one-dimensional Anderson and Wannier-Stark models that exhibit eigenstate transitions from localization in quasimomentum space to localization in position space. We show that the transition point may exhibit an unconventional character of Janus type, i.e., some measures hint at the RMT-like universality emerging at the transition point, while others depart from it. Our results hint at rich diversity of volume-law eigenstate entanglement entropies in quadratic systems that are not maximally entangled.

• Quantum particle localization observables on Cauchy surfaces of Minkowski spacetime and their causal properties [0.0]
  We study a general notion of spatial localization on spacelike smooth Cauchy surfaces of quantum systems in Minkowski spacetime. We prove that a family of POVMs of this type automatically satisfies a causality condition which generalizes Castrigiano's one and implies it when restricting to flat spacelike Cauchy surfaces.

  We show that processes in local effective theories can be spoofed with a quantum system with fewer degrees of freedom. We highlight how approximate overlapping qubits are conceptually connected to Hilbert space dimension verification, degree-of-freedom counting in black holes and holography.

• Entanglement and localization in long-range quadratic Lindbladians [49.1574468325115]
  Signatures of localization have been observed in condensed matter and cold atomic systems. We propose a model of one-dimensional chain of non-interacting, spinless fermions coupled to a local ensemble of baths. We show that the steady state of the system undergoes a localization entanglement phase transition by tuning $p$ which remains stable in the presence of coherent hopping.

  Region-based explanations (RbX) is a model-agnostic method to generate local explanations of scalar outputs from a black-box prediction model. RbX is guaranteed to satisfy a "sparsity axiom," which requires that features which do not enter into the prediction model are assigned zero importance.

  We show that efficiency of Metropolis-Hastings (M-H) algorithms in discrete spaces can be characterized by an acceptance rate that is independent of the target distribution. Knowledge of the optimal acceptance rate allows one to automatically tune the neighborhood size of a proposal distribution in a discrete space, directly analogous to step-size control in continuous spaces.

  We consider the dynamics of excited local states in massive scalar field theory in an arbitrary spacetime dimension. We identify different regimes of their evolution depending on the values of the field mass and the quench regularization parameter. We also investigate the local quenches in massive scalar field theory on a cylinder and show that they cause an erratic and chaotic-like evolution of observables.

• Weakly coupled local particle detectors cannot harvest entanglement [0.0]
  Many states of linear real scalar quantum fields (in particular Reeh-Schlieder states) are entangled on spacelike separated local algebras of observables. It has been argued that this entanglement can be "harvested" by a pair of so-called particle detectors. We show that local particle detectors cannot harvest entanglement below a critical coupling strength.
