• Abstract: We present a controllable quantum spin-chain model that reproduces the Page curve (the rise-and-fall of bipartite entanglement expected in black-hole evaporation), using only local interactions and a kinematic reduction of the subsystem size. Two transverse-field Ising chains are coupled to form a pure bipartite state; Hawking-like evaporation is implemented by dynamically shrinking the 'system' chain and enlarging the 'environment' chain, while unitary real-time evolution is simulated with matrix product state (MPS) tensor networks. The characteristic Page curve profile emerges robustly under this controlled subsystem resizing and notably persists even when the explicit Hamiltonian coupling across the boundary is set to zero, demonstrating that shrinking Hilbert-space dimension alone can generate Page curve behaviour. We show that the detailed shape of the curve depends on the internal information dynamics: operation at criticality yields a smooth profile, whereas moving away from criticality distorts entanglement growth and decay. These results position locally interacting spin chains as a realistic platform for probing black-hole-inspired information dynamics on current quantum hardware.

  We formulate a geometric framework for quasistatic thermodynamics in open quantum systems by parameterizing the dynamics on a control manifold.<n>In the quasistatic limit, the system follows a manifold of stationary states, and the work performed over a cycle is given by the flux of a curvature two-form.<n>For thermal stationary states, the curvature is isotropic and depends only on the instantaneous energy scale.<n>We show that this coherence reshapes the curvature, making it anisotropic and sign-changing, so that work depends sensitively on the placement and orientation of the cycle.

  We show that the dynamics of interfaces, in the symmetry-broken phase of the two-dimensional ferromagnetic quantum Ising model, displays a robust form of ergodicity breaking.
