• Abstract: Non-equilibrium properties of strongly interacting gauge theories are often intractable with classical simulation methods. Due to recent developments of quantum simulations, studies of their properties in two spatial dimensions are becoming accessible. By demonstrating the existence of an approximate spectrum-generating algebra for a pure gauge plaquette ladder, we predict and verify the existence of Quantum Many-Body Scars in spin-1 Quantum Link Models. The analysis of the model is facilitated by a dualization process that maps the original gauge theory to a constrained spin chain. Was it not for the constraint, the system would have an exact spectrum-generating algebra. We propose a set of observables for diagnosing an approximate spectrum-generating algebra, which is expected to guide quantum simulators toward interesting physical regimes.

  We introduce quantum algorithms that can efficiently simulate certain classes of interactions consisting of correlated changes in multiple quantum numbers. The lattice gauge theory studied is the SU(2) gauge theory in 1+1 dimensions coupled to one flavor of staggered fermions. The algorithms are shown to be applicable to higher-dimensional theories as well as to other Abelian and non-Abelian gauge theories.

  We study the phenomenon of transmission across the singularity that separates the two half-cylinders. All the local realisations of the free (Laplace-Beltrami) quantum Hamiltonian are examined as non-equivalent protocols of transmission/reflection. This allows to comprehend the distinguished status of the so-called bridging' transmission protocol previously identified in the literature.

• 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.
