• Abstract: In a typical finite temperature quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulation, estimators for simple static observables such as specific heat and magnetization are known. With a great deal of system-specific manual labor, one can sometimes also derive more complicated non-local or even dynamic observable estimators. Within the permutation matrix representation (PMR) flavor of QMC, however, we show that one can derive formal estimators for arbitrary static observables. We also derive exact, explicit estimators for general imaginary-time correlation functions and non-trivial integrated susceptibilities thereof. We demonstrate the practical versatility of our method by estimating various non-local, random observables for the transverse-field Ising model on a square lattice.

• An unbiased measure over the matrix product state manifold [0.05524804393257919]
  We show that the usual ensemble of sequentially generated random matrix product states (RMPS) using local Haar random unitaries is not uniform when viewed as a restriction of the full Hilbert space. As a result, the entanglement across the chain exhibits an anomalous asymmetry under spatial asymmetry. Some properties of this new ensemble are investigated both analytically and numerically.

• Observable-enriched entanglement [0.0]
  We introduce methods of characterizing entanglement, in which entanglement measures are enriched by the matrix representations of operators for observables. These observable operator matrix representations can enrich the partial trace over subsets of a system's degrees of freedom. We focus here on applying these methods to compute observable-enriched entanglement spectra, unveiling new bulk-boundary correspondences of canonical four-band models for topological skyrmion phases.

  We analyze the accuracy and sample complexity of variational Monte Carlo approaches to simulate quantum systems classically. We prove that the most used scheme, the time-dependent Variational Monte Carlo (tVMC), is affected by a systematic statistical bias. We show that a different scheme based on the solution of an optimization problem at each time step is free from such problems.

• Exact Entanglement in the Driven Quantum Symmetric Simple Exclusion Process [0.0]
  Entanglement properties of driven quantum systems can potentially differ from the equilibrium situation due to long range coherences. We derive exact formulae for its mutual information between different subsystems in the steady state and show that it satisfies a volume law. Surprisingly, the QSSEP entanglement properties only depend on data related to its transport properties and we suspect that such a relation might hold for more general mesoscopic systems.

  Kitaev spin models are well known for being exactly solvable in a certain parameter regime via a mapping to free fermions. We use classical simulations to explore a novel variational ansatz that takes advantage of this fermionic representation. We also comment on the implications of our results for simulating non-Abelian anyons on quantum computers.

• Eigenstate thermalization hypothesis and its deviations from random-matrix theory beyond the thermalization time [0.0]
  Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis (ETH) explains emergence of the thermodynamic equilibrium by assuming a particular structure of observable's matrix elements in the energy eigenbasis. We introduce a novel numerical approach to probe correlations between matrix elements for Hilbert-space dimensions beyond those accessible for exact diagonalization. Considering nonintegrable quantum spin chains, we observe that genuine RMT behavior is absent even for narrow energy windows corresponding to time scales of the order of thermalization time $tau_textth$ of the respective observables.

We show explicitly that the OTOC is indeed a precise tool to explore the fine details of the Eigenstate Thermalisation Hypothesis (ETH) We provide an estimation of the finite-size scaling of $omega_textrmGOE$ for the general class of observables composed of sums of local operators in the infinite-temperature regime.
