We compute exactly the von Neumann entanglement entropy of the eta-pairing states - a large set of exact excited eigenstates of the Hubbard Hamiltonian. For the singlet eta-pairing states the entropy scales with the logarithm of the spatial dimension of the (smaller) partition. For the eta-pairing states with finite spin magnetization density, the leading term can scale as the volume or as the area-times-log, depending on the momentum space occupation of the Fermions with flipped spins. We also compute the corrections to the leading scaling. In order to study the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH), we also compute the entanglement Rényi entropies of such states and compare them with the corresponding entropies of thermal density matrix in various ensembles. Such states, which we find violate strong ETH, may provide a useful platform for a detailed study of the time-dependence of the onset of thermalization due to perturbations which violate the total pseudospin conservation.

Entanglement is a key feature of many-body quantum systems. Measuring the entropy of different partitions of a quantum system provides a way to probe its entanglement structure. Here, we present and experimentally demonstrate a protocol for measuring the second-order Rényi entropy based on statistical correlations between randomized measurements. Our experiments, carried out with a trapped-ion quantum simulator with partition sizes of up to 10 qubits, prove the overall coherent character of the system dynamics and reveal the growth of entanglement between its parts, in both the absence and presence of disorder. Our protocol represents a universal tool for probing and characterizing engineered quantum systems in the laboratory, which is applicable to arbitrary quantum states of up to several tens of qubits.

It is well known that entanglement under Lorentz boosts is highly dependent on the boost scenario in question. For single-particle states, a spin-momentum product state can be transformed into an entangled state. However, entanglement is just one of the aspects that completely characterizes a quantum system. The other two are known as the wave-particle duality. Although the entanglement entropy does not remain invariant under Lorentz boosts, and neither do the measures of predictability and coherence, we show here that these three measures taken together, in a complete complementarity relation (CCR), are Lorentz invariant. Peres et al. (Peres et al. 2002 Phys. Rev. Lett. 88 , 230402. ( doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.88.230402 )) realized that even though it is possible to formally define spin in any Lorentz frame, there is no relationship between the observable expectation values in different Lorentz frames. Analogously, one can, in principle, define complementary relations in any Lorentz frame, but there is no obvious transformation law relating complementary relations in different frames. However, our result shows that the CCRs have the same value in any Lorentz frame, i.e. there is a transformation law connecting the CCRs. In addition, we explore relativistic scenarios for single and two-particle states, which helps in understanding the exchange of different aspects of a quantum system under Lorentz boosts.

Abstract Relational formulation of quantum mechanics is based on the idea that relational properties among quantum systems, instead of the independent properties of a quantum system, are the most fundamental elements to construct quantum mechanics. In the recent works (J. M. Yang, Sci. Rep. 8:13305, 2018), basic relational quantum mechanics framework is formulated to derive quantum probability, Born's Rule, Schr\"{o}dinger Equations, and measurement theory. This paper gives a concrete implementation of the relational probability amplitude by extending the path integral formulation. The implementation not only clarifies the physical meaning of the relational probability amplitude, but also gives several important applications. For instance, the double slit experiment can be elegantly explained. A path integral representation of the reduced density matrix of the observed system can be derived. Such representation is shown valuable to describe the interaction history of the measured system and a series of measuring systems. More interestingly, it allows us to develop a method to calculate entanglement entropy based on path integral and influence functional. Criteria of entanglement is proposed based on the properties of influence functional, which may be used to determine entanglement due to interaction between a quantum system and a classical field.

Quantum Darwinism (QD) is the process responsible for the proliferation of redundant information in the environment of a quantum system that is being decohered. This enables independent observers to access separate environmental fragments and reach consensus about the system’s state. In this work, we study the effect of disorder in the emergence of QD and find that a highly disordered environment is greatly beneficial for it. By introducing the notion of lack of redundancy to quantify objectivity, we show that it behaves analogously to the entanglement entropy (EE) of the environmental eigenstate taken as an initial state. This allows us to estimate the many-body mobility edge by means of our Darwinistic measure, implicating the existence of a critical degree of disorder beyond which the degree of objectivity rises the larger the environment is. The latter hints the key role that disorder may play when the environment is of a thermodynamic size. At last, we show that a highly disordered evolution may reduce the spoiling of redundancy in the presence of intra-environment interactions.

Area Law

The entanglement entropy measures quantum correlations and it can be seen as the uncertainty on a quantum state. In one spatial dimension, the entanglement entropy scales as the boundary that divides two subsystems, so an area law has been proposed. However, the entanglement entropy diverges logarithmically at conformally invariant critical points, so the area law does not hold. The purpose of the work is to find a way to get more information about a critical state. The ground state of the Heisenberg XXZ model at criticality is analyzed by means of critical Ising eigenstates. Two ways of analysis are followed: a basis made of Ising eigenstates is built up and used to represent the XXZ ground state, then the Shannon entropy in the new basis is computed; the adiabatic evolution from the Ising ground state to the XXZ ground state. The result is that the Shannon entropy in the Ising basis scales linearly with the length of the system, while a phase transition is encountered during the adiabatic evolution. The conclusion is that there is no net gain in information after the procedure and possibly it is related to the fact the two systems stand in different phases.
