• Abstract: Entanglement witnesses (EWs) are fundamental tools for detecting entanglement. However traditional linear witnesses often fail to identify most of the entangled states. In this work, we construct a family of nonlinear entanglement witnesses by taking the envelope of linear witnesses defined over continuous families of pure bipartite states with fixed Schmidt bases. This procedure effectively "bends" the hyperplanes associated with linear witnesses into curved hypersurfaces, thereby extending the region of detectable entangled states. The resulting conditions can be expressed in terms of the positive semi-definiteness of a family of matrices, whose principal minors define a hierarchy of increasingly sensitive detection criteria. We show that this construction is not limited to the transposition map and generalizes naturally to arbitrary Positive but not Completely Positive (PnCP) maps, leading to nonlinear analogues of general entanglement witnesses. We emphasize that the required measurements remain experimentally accessible, as the nonlinear criteria are still formulated in terms of expectation values over local operator bases. Through both analytical and numerical examples, we demonstrate that the proposed nonlinear witnesses outperform their linear counterparts in detecting entangled states which may evade individual linear EWs in the construction. This approach offers a practical and conceptually elegant enhancement to entanglement detection in finite-dimensional systems.

  Methods for erasing human-interpretable concepts from neural representations that assume linearity have been found to be tractable and useful. This work formally defines the notion of log-linear guardedness as the inability of an adversary to predict the concept directly from the representation. We show that, in the binary case, under certain assumptions, a downstream log-linear model cannot recover the erased concept.

  Key aspects of the AdS/CFT correspondence can be captured in terms of tensor network models on hyperbolic lattices.

We show that these Hamiltonians exhibit multi-scale quasiperiodic symmetries captured by an analytical toy model.
