• Abstract summary: We map equilibrium properties of a 1-dimensional chain of quantum Ising spins in a transverse field (the transverse field Ising (TFI) model) We argue that coupling between the fundamental topological solitary waves in the classical $phi4$ system is the analogue of the competing effect of the transverse field on spin flips in the quantum TFI model.

• Abstract: Motivated by an exact mapping between equilibrium properties of a 1-dimensional chain of quantum Ising spins in a transverse field (the transverse field Ising (TFI) model) and a 2-dimensional classical array of particles in double-well potentials (the "$\phi^4$ model") with weak inter-chain coupling, we explore connections between the driven variants of the two systems. We argue that coupling between the fundamental topological solitary waves in the form of kinks between neighboring chains in the classical $\phi^4$ system is the analogue of the competing effect of the transverse field on spin flips in the quantum TFI model. As an example application, we mimic simplified measurement protocols in a closed quantum model system by studying the classical $\phi^4$ model subjected to periodic perturbations. This reveals memory/loss of memory and coherence/decoherence regimes, whose quantum analogues are essential in annealing phenomena. In particular, we examine regimes where the topological excitations control the thermal equilibration following perturbations. This paves the way for further explorations of the analogy between lower-dimensional linear quantum and higher-dimensional classical nonlinear systems.

• Entanglement Transition due to particle losses in a monitored fermionic chain [0.0]
  We study the dynamics of the entanglement entropy under quantum jumps that induce local particle losses in a model of free fermions hopping. We show that by tuning the system parameters, a measurement-induced entanglement transition occurs where the entanglement entropy scaling changes from logarithmic to area-law.

  A quantum simulation of magnetism in trapped-ion systems makes use of the crystal vibrations to mediate pairwise interactions between spins. These interactions can be accounted for by a long-wavelength relativistic theory, where the phonons are described by a coarse-grained Klein-Gordon field. We show that thermal effects, which can be controlled by laser cooling, can unveil this flow through the appearance of thermal masses in interacting QFTs.

• Quantum Statistical Complexity Measure as a Signalling of Correlation Transitions [55.41644538483948]
  We introduce a quantum version for the statistical complexity measure, in the context of quantum information theory, and use it as a signalling function of quantum order-disorder transitions. We apply our measure to two exactly solvable Hamiltonian models, namely: the $1D$-Quantum Ising Model and the Heisenberg XXZ spin-$1/2$ chain. We also compute this measure for one-qubit and two-qubit reduced states for the considered models, and analyse its behaviour across its quantum phase transitions for finite system sizes as well as in the thermodynamic limit by using Bethe ansatz.
