• Abstract: In environments with prodigious numbers of neutrinos, such as core-collapse supernovae, neutron star mergers, or the early universe, neutrino-neutrino interactions are dynamically significant. They can dominate neutrino flavor evolution and force it to be nonlinear, causing collective neutrino oscillations. Such collective oscillations have been studied numerically, for systems with up to millions of neutrinos, using mean-field or one-particle effective approximations. However, such a system of interacting neutrinos is a quantum many-body system, wherein quantum correlations could play a significant in the flavor evolution-thereby motivating the exploration of many-body treatments which follow the time evolution of these correlations. In many-body flavor evolution calculations with two neutrino flavors, the emergence of spectral splits in the neutrino energy distributions has been found to be correlated with the degree of quantum entanglement across the spectrum. In this work, for the first time, we investigate the emergence of spectral-splits in the three-flavor many-body collective neutrino oscillations. We find that the emergence of spectral splits resembles the number and location found in the mean-field approximation but not in the width. Moreover, unlike in the two-flavor many-body calculations, we find that additional degrees of freedom make it more difficult to establish a correlation between the location of the spectral splits and the degree of quantum entanglement across the neutrino energy spectrum.

  Quasiparticles are emergent excitations of matter that underlie much of our understanding of quantum many-body systems. We take advantage of the clean setting of homogeneous quantum gases and fast radio-frequency control to manipulate Fermi polarons. We measure the decay rate and the quasiparticle residue of the driven polaron from the Rabi oscillations between the two internal states.

  Neutrino flavor transformations are driven by neutrino-neutrino coherent scattering, or in some cases, by collisional (incoherent) interactions. An ensemble of neutrinos undergoing coherent scattering among themselves is an interacting quantum many-body system. There is a tantalising prospect of quantum entanglement developing between the neutrinos, which can leave imprints on their flavor evolution histories.

• Spectral splits and entanglement entropy in collective neutrino oscillations [0.0]
  We find an intriguing connection between the entropy of entanglement of individual neutrinos with the rest of the ensemble. For various types of neutrino spectra, we demonstrate that the entanglement entropy is highest for the neutrinos whose locations in the energy spectrum are closest to the spectral split(s) This trend demonstrates that the quantum entanglement is strongest among the neutrinos that are close to these splits, a behavior that seems to persist even as the size of the many-body system is increased.
