• Title: Non-equilibrium entanglement asymmetry for discrete groups: the example of the XY spin chain
• Authors: Florent Ferro, Filiberto Ares, Pasquale Calabrese
• Abstract summary: The entanglement asymmetry is a novel quantity that, using entanglement methods, measures how much a symmetry is broken in a part of an extended quantum system. We consider the XY spin chain, in which the ground state spontaneously breaks the $mathbbZ$ spin parity symmetry in the ferromagnetic phase. We thoroughly investigate the non-equilibrium dynamics of this symmetry after a global quantum quench, generalising known results for the standard order parameter.

• Abstract: The entanglement asymmetry is a novel quantity that, using entanglement methods, measures how much a symmetry is broken in a part of an extended quantum system. So far it has only been used to characterise the breaking of continuous Abelian symmetries. In this paper, we extend the concept to cyclic $\mathbb{Z}_N$ groups. As an application, we consider the XY spin chain, in which the ground state spontaneously breaks the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ spin parity symmetry in the ferromagnetic phase. We thoroughly investigate the non-equilibrium dynamics of this symmetry after a global quantum quench, generalising known results for the standard order parameter.

  We study the explicit breaking of a $SU(2)$ symmetry to a $U(1)$ subgroup employing the entanglement asymmetry. We consider as specific model the critical XXZ spin chain, which breaks the $SU(2)$ symmetry of spin rotations except at the isotropic point.

  We show that strong symmetry always spontaneously breaks into the corresponding weak symmetry. We conjecture that this relation among strong-to-weak symmetry breaking, gapless modes, and symmetry-charge diffusion is general for continuous symmetries.

• Non-abelian symmetry-resolved entanglement entropy [1.433758865948252]
  We introduce a framework for symmetry-resolved entanglement entropy with a non-abelian symmetry group. We derive exact formulas for the average and the variance of the typical entanglement entropy for an ensemble of random pure states with fixed non-abelian charges. We show that, compared to the abelian case, new phenomena arise from the interplay of locality and non-abelian symmetry.

  We provide a universal formula for the entanglement asymmetry of matrix product states with finite bond dimension. We show that the entanglement asymmetry of any compact -- discrete or continuous -- group depends only on the symmetry breaking pattern, and is not related to any other microscopic features.

• Emergence of non-Abelian SU(2) invariance in Abelian frustrated fermionic ladders [37.69303106863453]
  We consider a system of interacting spinless fermions on a two-leg triangular ladder with $pi/2$ magnetic flux per triangular plaquette. Microscopically, the system exhibits a U(1) symmetry corresponding to the conservation of total fermionic charge, and a discrete $mathbbZ$ symmetry. At the intersection of the three phases, the system features a critical point with an emergent SU(2) symmetry.

  We study the effect of symmetry on tripartite entanglement properties of typical states in symmetric sectors of Hilbert space. In particular, we consider Abelian symmetries and derive an explicit expression for the logarithmic entanglement negativity of systems with $mathbbZ_N$ and $U(1)$ symmetry groups.

  Non-Hermitian systems with parity-time reversal ($mathcalPT$) or anti-$mathcalPT$ symmetry have attracted a wide range of interest owing to their unique characteristics and counterintuitive phenomena. We implement a Floquet Hamiltonian of a single qubit with anti-$mathcalPT$ symmetry by periodically driving a dissipative quantum system of a single trapped ion.

  In this paper, we use the Carnot-Caratheodory distance from sub-Riemanian geometry to prove entropy decay estimates for all finite dimensional symmetric quantum Markov semigroups. Our approach relies on the transference principle, the existence of $t$-designs, and the sub-Riemanian diameter of compact Lie groups and implies estimates for the spectral gap.
