• Abstract: Due to the inevitable existence of quantum effects, a classical description generically breaks down after a finite quantum break-time $t_q$. We aim to find criteria for determining $t_q$. To this end, we construct a new prototype model that features numerous dynamically accessible quantum modes. Using explicit numerical time evolution, we establish how $t_q$ depends on the parameters of the system such as its particle number $N$. The presence of a classical instability leads to $t_q \sim \ln N$ or $t_q\sim \sqrt{N}$. In the stable case, we observe $t_q\sim N$, although full quantum breaking may not take place at all. We find that the different regimes merge smoothly with $t_q\sim N^\gamma$ ($0<\gamma<1$). As an outlook, we point out possibilities for transferring our results to black holes and expanding spacetimes.

  We present a quantum generalization of these tools through a generic bottleneck lemma. This lemma focuses on quantum measures of distance, analogous to the classical Hamming distance but rooted in uniquely quantum principles. Even with sublinear barriers, we use Feynman-Kac techniques to lift classical to quantum ones establishing tight lower bound $T_mathrmmix = 2Omega(nalpha)$.

  We study the power of unentangled quantum proofs with non-negative amplitudes, a class which we denote $textQMA+(2)$. In particular, we design global protocols for small set expansion, unique games, and PCP verification. We show that QMA(2) is equal to $textQMA+(2)$ provided the gap of the latter is a sufficiently large constant.

  Condensed matter systems provide alternative vacua' exhibiting emergent low-energy properties drastically different from those of the standard model. We show that the two greatly differ in their fine-structure constant $alpha$, which parametrizes how strongly matter couples to light. We find that $alpha_mathrmQSI$ can be tuned all the way from zero up to what is believed to be the textitstrongest possible coupling.

  A non-Hermitian operator $H$ defined in a Hilbert space with inner product $langlecdot|cdotrangle$ may serve as the Hamiltonian for a unitary quantum system. Such quantum systems, which are also encountered in the study of quantum mechanics in cosmological backgrounds, suffer from a conflict between the unitarity of time evolution and the unobservability of the Hamiltonian.
