• Abstract: Inspired by the second law of thermodynamics, we study the change in subsystem entropy generated by dynamical unitary evolution of a product state in a bipartite system. Working at leading order in perturbative interactions, we prove that the quantum $n$-Tsallis entropy of a subsystem never decreases, $\Delta S_n \geq 0$, provided that subsystem is initialized as a statistical mixture of states of equal probability. This is true for any choice of interactions and any initialization of the complementary subsystem. When this condition on the initial state is violated, it is always possible to explicitly construct a "Maxwell's demon" process that decreases the subsystem entropy, $\Delta S_n < 0$. Remarkably, for the case of particle scattering, the circuit diagrams corresponding to $n$-Tsallis entropy are the same as the on-shell diagrams that have appeared in the modern scattering amplitudes program, and $\Delta S_n \geq 0$ is intimately related to the nonnegativity of cross-sections.

  interplay between symmetries and entanglement in out-of-equilibrium quantum systems is currently at the centre of an intense multidisciplinary research effort. We show that one can introduce a class of solvable states, which extends that of generic dual unitary circuits. In contrast to the known class of solvable states, which relax to the infinite temperature state, these states relax to a family of non-trivial generalised Gibbs ensembles.

  entropy dynamics as an indicator of physical behavior in an open two-state system with balanced gain and loss is presented. We distinguish the perspective taken in utilizing the conventional framework of Hermitian-adjoint states from an approach that is based on biorthogonal-adjoint states and a third case based on an isospectral mapping.

  We extend the recent study of entropy dynamics induced by an external impulse in open quantum systems. For small system-bath coupling $kappa$, we expect that the entropy first increases exponentially $kappa2 evarkappa t$ in the early-time regime. In the second stage, the entropy of the system is equal to the coarse-grained entropy.

• Local Intrinsic Dimensional Entropy [29.519376857728325]
  Most entropy measures depend on the spread of the probability distribution over the sample space $mathcalX|$. In this work, we question the role of cardinality and distribution spread in defining entropy measures for continuous spaces. We find that the average value of the local intrinsic dimension of a distribution, denoted as ID-Entropy, can serve as a robust entropy measure for continuous spaces.

  In this work we show that the Longo's canonical entanglement entropy is finite in any local QFT verifying a modular $p$-nuclearity condition. As application, in $1+1$-dimensional integrable models with factorizing S-matrices we study the behavior of the canonical entanglement entropy as the distance between two causally disjoint wedges diverges.

  We consider a 2d dipolar system, $d=2$, with the generalized dipole-dipole interaction $sim r-a$, and the power $a$ controlled experimentally in trapped-ion or Rydberg-atom systems. We show that the spatially homogeneous tilt $beta$ of the dipoles giving rise to the anisotropic dipole exchange leads to the non-trivial reentrant localization beyond the locator expansion.
