• Abstract: We investigate the spectral properties of all-to-all interacting spin Hamiltonians acting on exactly $k$ spins, whose coupling coefficients are drawn from a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and variance $\sigma^2$. For $\mu = 0$, we demonstrate that the random matrix ensemble -- Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble (GOE), Gaussian Unitary Ensemble (GUE), or Gaussian Symplectic Ensemble (GSE) -- is determined by the parity of system size $L$ and locality $k$, following standard time-reversal symmetry classification. For couplings with a nonzero mean, we map the Hamiltonians to deformed random matrix ensembles and analyze conditions for an energy gap between the ground state and the first excited state. For $\mu < 0$, we find two distinct regimes: for $k \gg \sqrt{L}$, the gap closes at critical disorder $\sigma_{c} \approx |\mu|$. Near this transition the energy gap $\Delta$ exhibits universal quadratic scaling $\Delta /L \sim (\sigma - \sigma_{c})^{2}$. When $k \ll \sqrt{L}$, $\sigma_{c}$ scales with $|\mu|$, but lacks a sharp transition. Our work introduces a semi-solvable model that captures universal features of random-matrix statistics, and spectral gap formation, providing a foundation for systematic extensions to more general many-body systems.

  Under nonlinear measurements, most prior results are non-uniform, i.e., they hold with high probability for a fixed $mathbfx*$ rather than for all $mathbfx*$ simultaneously. Our framework accommodates GCS with 1-bit/uniformly quantized observations and single index models as canonical examples. We also develop a concentration inequality that produces tighter bounds for product processes whose index sets have low metric entropy.

  We consider three distinct methods to compute the mass spectrum of gauge theories in the Hamiltonian formalism. We find that the mass of $sigma$ meson is lighter than twice the pion mass, and thus $sigma$ is stable against the decay process. Our numerical results are so close to the WKB-based formula between the pion and sigma-meson masses, $M_sigma/M_pi=sqrt3$.

• Average pure-state entanglement entropy in spin systems with SU(2) symmetry [0.0]
  We study the effect that the SU(2) symmetry, and the rich Hilbert space structure that it generates in lattice spin systems, has on the average entanglement entropy of local Hamiltonians and of random pure states. We provide numerical evidence that $s_A$ is smaller in highly excited eigenstates of integrable interacting Hamiltonians. In the context of Hamiltonian eigenstates we consider spins $mathfrakj=frac12$ and $1$, while for our calculations based on random pure states we focus on the spin $mathfrakj=frac12$ case
