• Abstract summary: Local gauge invariance and superselection rules enforce a packaging'' principle for quantum field excitations. At the single-particle level, this packaging principle forbids the partial factorization of IQNs. Superselection restricts the net gauge charge to a single sector, eliminating cross-sector Bell-type superpositions.

• Abstract: We show that local gauge invariance and superselection rules enforce a ``packaging'' principle for quantum field excitations: \textbf{internal quantum numbers (IQNs)} such as charge, color, or flavor are locked into \textbf{irreducible representation (irrep)} blocks. At the single-particle level, this packaging principle forbids the partial factorization of IQNs (e.g.\ ``half an electron charge'' or ``just the color quantum number of a quark''). Extending to multi-particle states, superselection restricts the net gauge charge to a single sector, eliminating cross-sector Bell-type superpositions while permitting packaged entangled states within one superselection sector. We provide rigorous theorems clarifying (i)~why no partial factorization of IQNs is possible, (ii)~how multi-particle superpositions remain gauge-invariant within a single net-charge sector, and (iii)~how external \textbf{degrees of freedom (DOFs)} (spin, momentum) can be hybridized with these internal charges to form gauge-invariant entanglement. We also discuss how measurements of spin or momentum in such hybrid states lead to collapse of the internal entanglement. The interplay of gauge constraints and superselection thus gives quantum field states a nontrivial information-theoretic structure: \textit{internal charges must be packaged with each particle's creation operator, yet multi-particle states may form entangled superpositions so long as the net charge remains consistent}.

  In this formalism, every single excitation transforms as a complete textbfirreducible representation (irrep) of the local gauge group. All IQNs of such packaged entangled states remain inseparably entangled. We illustrate this approach for $mathrmU(1)$, $mathrmSU(2)$, and $mathrmSU(3)$ lattice gauge theories.

• Many-Body Quantum Geometric Dipole [0.0]
  Collective excitations of many-body electron systems can carry internal structure, tied to the quantum geometry of the Hilbert space in which they are embedded. We demonstrate in this work that this property can be formulated in a generic way, which does not require wavefunctions expressed in terms of single particle-hole states. Our study demonstrates that the QGD is an intrinsic property of collective modes which is valid beyond approximations one might make for their wavefunctions.

We show that the many body spectrum can be expanded as a weighted sum of spectra given by the principal components of the filling matrix. We illustrate our method in two classes of problems that are mapped into spinless fermions.

  How are the scattering between the constituents of matter and the resulting collective phenomena affected by preparing the force carriers in different quantum states? This question has become experimentally relevant in a specific non-relativistic version of QED implemented within materials. We show that by preparing photons in pure Fock states one can enhance pair correlations, and even control the criticality and universality of the superconducting phase transition by the choice of the number of photons.
