• Abstract: The entanglement asymmetry measures the extent to which a symmetry is broken within a subsystem of an extended quantum system. Here, we analyse this quantity in Haar random states for arbitrary compact, semi-simple Lie groups, building on and generalising recent results obtained for the $U(1)$ symmetric case. We find that, for any symmetry group, the average entanglement asymmetry vanishes in the thermodynamic limit when the subsystem is smaller than its complement. When the subsystem and its complement are of equal size, the entanglement asymmetry jumps to a finite value, indicating a sudden transition of the subsystem from a fully symmetric state to one devoid of any symmetry. For larger subsystem sizes, the entanglement asymmetry displays a logarithmic scaling with a coefficient fixed by the dimension of the group. We also investigate the fluctuations of the entanglement asymmetry, which tend to zero in the thermodynamic limit. We check our findings against exact numerical calculations for the $SU(2)$ and $SU(3)$ groups. We further discuss their implications for the thermalisation of isolated quantum systems and black hole evaporation.

  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.

• Non-equilibrium entanglement asymmetry for discrete groups: the example of the XY spin chain [0.0]
  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.

• Entanglement asymmetry as a probe of symmetry breaking [0.0]
  In extended quantum systems, quantifying how much a symmetry is broken is intrinsically bound to the subsystem of interest. We introduce a subsystem measure of symmetry breaking that we dub entanglement asymmetry. We find, expectedly, that larger is the subsystem, slower is the restoration, but also the counterintuitive result that more the symmetry is initially broken, faster it is restored.

• Finite-size corrections in critical symmetry-resolved entanglement [0.0]
  We show that the nature of the symmetry group plays a crucial role in symmetry-resolved entanglement entropies. In the case of a discrete symmetry group, the corrections decay algebraically with system size, with exponents related to the operators' scaling dimensions. In contrast, in the case of a U(1) symmetry group, the corrections only decay logarithmically with system size, with model-dependent prefactors.
