• Abstract: We employ quantum variational methods to investigate a single-site interacting fermion--boson system -- an example of a minimal supersymmetric model that can exhibit spontaneous supersymmetry breaking. Our study addresses the challenges inherent in calculating mixed fermion--boson systems and explores the potential of quantum computing to advance their analysis. By using adaptive variational techniques, we identify optimal ans\"atze that scale efficiently, allowing for reliable identification of spontaneous supersymmetry breaking. This work lays a foundation for future quantum computing investigations of more complex and physically rich fermion--boson quantum field theories in higher dimensions.

• Quantum Statistical Complexity Measure as a Signalling of Correlation Transitions [55.41644538483948]
  We introduce a quantum version for the statistical complexity measure, in the context of quantum information theory, and use it as a signalling function of quantum order-disorder transitions. We apply our measure to two exactly solvable Hamiltonian models, namely: the $1D$-Quantum Ising Model and the Heisenberg XXZ spin-$1/2$ chain. We also compute this measure for one-qubit and two-qubit reduced states for the considered models, and analyse its behaviour across its quantum phase transitions for finite system sizes as well as in the thermodynamic limit by using Bethe ansatz.
