• Title: The existence and unambiguity of the principal axis system of the EPR tensors
• Authors: Stanislav Komorovsky
• Abstract summary: We provide a comprehensive theory about the existence of principal axes of the EPR tensors. Both g- and a-tensors have two sets of principal axes -- one in the real and one in the fictitious spin space. We present arguments based on the group theory why only eigenvalues of the G-tensor, $mbG = mbgmbg!mathsfT$, and the sign of the determinant of the g-tensor are observable quantities.

• Abstract: Although the role of the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) g-tensor and hyperfine coupling tensor in the EPR effective spin Hamiltonian is discussed extensively in many textbooks, certain aspects of the theory are missing. In this text we will cover those gaps and thus provide a comprehensive theory about the existence of principal axes of the EPR tensors. However, an important observation is that both g- and a-tensors have two sets of principal axes -- one in the real and one in the fictitious spin space -- and, in fact, are not tensors. Moreover, we present arguments based on the group theory why only eigenvalues of the G-tensor, $\mb{G} = \mb{g}\mb{g}^{\!\mathsf{T}}$, and the sign of the determinant of the g-tensor are observable quantities (an analogical situation also holds for the hyperfine coupling tensor). We keep the number of assumptions to a minimum and thus the theory is applicable in the framework of the Dirac--Coulomb--Breit Hamiltonian and for any spatial symmetry of the system.

  In a chain of 46 superconducting qubits, we study the probability distribution, $P(mathcalM)$, of the magnetization transferred across the chain's center. The first two moments of $P(mathcalM)$ show superdiffusive behavior, a hallmark of KPZ. The third and fourth moments rule out the KPZ conjecture and allow for evaluating other theories.

• Boundary theories of critical matchgate tensor networks [59.433172590351234]
  Key aspects of the AdS/CFT correspondence can be captured in terms of tensor network models on hyperbolic lattices. For tensors fulfilling the matchgate constraint, these have previously been shown to produce disordered boundary states. We show that these Hamiltonians exhibit multi-scale quasiperiodic symmetries captured by an analytical toy model.

  Quantum systems governed by non-Hermitian Hamiltonians with $PT$ symmetry are special in having real energy eigenvalues bounded below and unitary time evolution. We show how $PT$ symmetry may allow interpretations that evade ghosts and instabilities present in an interpretation of the theory within a Hermitian framework.

  We continue the study of nonrelativistic quantum gravity associated with a family of Ricci flow equations. This topological gravity is of the cohomological type, and it exhibits an $cal N=2$ extended BRST symmetry. We demonstrate a standard one-step BRST gauge-fixing of a theory whose fields are $g_ij$, $ni$ and $n$, and whose gauge symmetries consist of (i) the topological deformations of $g_ij$, and (ii) the ultralocal nonrelativistic limit of space

• Topological Quantum Gravity of the Ricci Flow [62.997667081978825]
  We present a family of topological quantum gravity theories associated with the geometric theory of the Ricci flow. First, we use BRST quantization to construct a "primitive" topological Lifshitz-type theory for only the spatial metric. We extend the primitive theory by gauging foliation-preserving spacetime symmetries.

• Generalized Entanglement, Charges and Intertwiners [0.0]
  We define a measure of entanglement entropy as a measure of information erased under restriction to a subspace of observables. We argue that the correct entanglement measure in the presence of charges is the sum of two terms; one measuring the entanglement of charge-neutral operators, and the other measuring the contribution of the bi-local intertwiners.
