• Abstract: We show that a composite quantum system described by the tensor product of multiple systems each with a leading-order exceptional point (a non-Hermitian degeneracy at which not only eigenvalues but also eigenstates coalesce) exhibits a single leading-order exceptional point, whose order surpasses the order of any constituent exceptional point. The formation of such higher-order exceptional points does not require coupling among the subsystems. We determine explicitly the order and the spectral response strength of this exceptional point. Moreover, we observe that the energy eigenstates that do not merge are entangled. Finally, we demonstrate that general initial states disentangle during time evolution due to the presence of the higher-order exceptional point of the composite system.

  We show that the thermodynamic limit of a many-body system can reveal entanglement properties that are hard to detect in finite-size systems. In particular, we show that every gapped phase of matter, even the trivial one, in $Dgeq 2$ dimensions contains models with the strongest possible bipartite large-scale entanglement.

  Weyl exceptional rings (WER), extended from point-like singularities, are particularly interesting. We here investigate this topology in a circuit, where the WER is synthesized with a superconducting qubit controllably coupled to a decaying resonator. We demonstrate a topological transition triggered by shrinking the size of the manifold$-$a unique feature of the WER.

• Quantum Relativity of Subsystems [58.720142291102135]
  We show that different reference frame perspectives induce different sets of subsystem observable algebras, which leads to a gauge-invariant, frame-dependent notion of subsystems and entanglement. Such a QRF perspective does not inherit the distinction between subsystems in terms of the corresponding tensor factorizability of the kinematical Hilbert space and observable algebra. Since the condition for this to occur is contingent on the choice of QRF, the notion of subsystem locality is frame-dependent.

  We prove that all R'enyi entanglement entropies of spin-chains described by generic (gapped) are extensive for disconnected sub-systems.
