The complexity is defined as the difference between the Shannon-entropy and the second order R'enyi-entropy. It is shown that the system attains maximal complexity for special choice of control parameters.

• Abstract: Complexity of two-level systems, e.g. spins, qubits, magnetic moments etc, are analysed based on the so-called correlational entropy in the case of pure quantum systems and the thermal entropy in case of thermal equilibrium that are suitable quantities essentially free from basis dependence. The complexity is defined as the difference between the Shannon-entropy and the second order R\'enyi-entropy, where the latter is connected to the traditional participation measure or purity. It is shown that the system attains maximal complexity for special choice of control parameters, i.e. strength of disorder either in the presence of noise of the energy states or the presence of disorder in the off diagonal coupling. It is shown that such a noise or disorder dependence provides a basis free analysis and gives meaningful insights. We also look at similar entropic complexity of spins in thermal equilibrium for a paramagnet at finite temperature, $T$ and magnetic field $B$, as well as the case of an Ising model in the mean-field approximation. As a result all examples provide important evidence that the investigation of the entropic complexity parameters help to get deeper understanding in the behavior of these systems.

• Spread and Spectral Complexity in Quantum Spin Chains: from Integrability to Chaos [0.0]
  We explore spread and spectral complexity in quantum systems that exhibit a transition from integrability to chaos. We find that the saturation value of spread complexity post-peak depends not only on the spectral statistics of the Hamiltonian, but also on the specific state. We conjecture that the thermofield double state (TFD) is suitable for probing signatures of chaos in quantum many-body systems.

• Realizing the entanglement Hamiltonian of a topological quantum Hall system [10.092164351939825]
  Topological quantum many-body systems, such as Hall insulators, are characterized by a hidden order encoded in the entanglement between their constituents. Entanglement entropy, an experimentally accessible single number that globally quantifies entanglement, has been proposed as a first signature of topological order. We use a synthetic dimension, encoded in the electronic spin of dysprosium atoms, to implement spatially deformed Hall systems.

  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.

• Apparent pathologies in stochastic entropy production in the thermalisation of an open two-level quantum system [0.0]
  We investigate the entropic consequences of the relaxation of an open two-level quantum system towards a thermalised statistical state. We demonstrate that thermalisation starting from a general state is accompanied by a persistent non-zero mean rate of change of the environmental component of entropy production.

  Phase transitions correspond to the singular behavior of physical systems in response to continuous control parameters like temperature or external fields. Near continuous phase transitions, associated with the divergence of a correlation length, universal power-law scaling behavior with critical exponents independent of microscopic system details is found.

• Quantum coherence controls the nature of equilibration in coupled chaotic systems [0.0]
  Quantum coherence of the initial product states in the uncoupled eigenbasis can be viewed as a resource for equilibration and approach to thermalization. Results are given for four distinct perturbation strength regimes, the ultra-weak, weak, intermediate, and strong regimes. Maximally coherent initial states thermalize for any perturbation strength in spite of the fact that in the ultra-weak perturbative regime the underlying eigenstates of the system have a tensor product structure and are not at all thermal-like.

  Unavoidable coupling of quantum systems to external degrees of freedom leads to dissipative (non-unitary) dynamics. We introduce a method to deal with these systems based on the calculation of (dissipative) lattice Green's function. We illustrate the power of this method with several examples of driven-dissipative bosonic chains of increasing complexity.

• Quantum correlation entropy [0.0]
  We study quantum coarse-grained entropy and demonstrate that the gap in entropy between local and global coarse-grainings is a natural generalization of entanglement entropy to mixed states and multipartite systems. This "quantum correlation entropy" $Srm QC$ is additive over independent systems, measures total nonclassical correlations, and reduces to the entanglement entropy for bipartite pure states.
