Abstract: We present a systematic study of the Rayleigh--Ritz variational method for quantum oscillators in the Segal--Bargmann space. We rigorously derive the normalizability condition $|α| < \tfrac{1}{2}$ for generalized Gaussian trial functions $ψ(z) = e^{αz^2 + βz}$ through convergence analysis of Gaussian integrals in the complex plane. Applications to the harmonic oscillator demonstrate exact recovery of the ground state in Segal--Bargmann space when the trial family contains the true solution. For the quartic anharmonic oscillator ($\hat{H} = -\tfrac{1}{2}\partial_x^2 + \tfrac{1}{2}x^2 + λx^4$), adaptive Gaussian ansätze in position space yield a cubic stationarity equation and perturbative energy expansions beyond first order, capturing anharmonic wavefunction narrowing. In contrast, monomial trial functions ($ψ_n(z) = z^n$) in the Segal--Bargmann space -- while providing rigorous upper bounds $E_n = n + \tfrac{1}{2} + \tfrac{3λ}{4}(2n^2 + 2n + 1)$ for excited states -- lack width adaptability and are limited to first-order accuracy for ground-state calculations. We further analyze displaced Gaussians and displaced monomials for asymmetric potentials (e.g., $x^3 + x^4$), showing that displacement parameters are essential to capture parity breaking and stabilization effects ($E_0 \approx \tfrac{1}{2} + \tfrac{3μ}{4} - \tfrac{9λ^2}{4} + \cdots$).

We consider the R'enyi-$alpha$ tripartite information $I_3(alpha)$ of three adjacent subsystems in the stationary state emerging after global quenches in noninteracting spin chains from both homogeneous and bipartite states. We identify settings in which $I_3(alpha)$ remains nonzero also in the limit of infinite lengths and develop an effective quantum field theory description of free fermionic fields on a ladder.

Random quantum circuits transform local noise into global white noise [118.18170052022323]
We study the distribution over measurement outcomes of noisy random quantum circuits in the low-fidelity regime. For local noise that is sufficiently weak and unital, correlations (measured by the linear cross-entropy benchmark) between the output distribution $p_textnoisy$ of a generic noisy circuit instance shrink exponentially. If the noise is incoherent, the output distribution approaches the uniform distribution $p_textunif$ at precisely the same rate.
