Thermal and chemical response from entanglement entropy

This paper argues that in interacting quantum field theories at finite density, the derivative of entanglement entropy with respect to subregion size converges to the thermal entropy density in the large-subregion limit, thereby establishing a universal link between entanglement and thermodynamics that allows for the extraction of equation-of-state information, as demonstrated nonperturbatively in the three-dimensional O(4) model.

Black-Hole Signatures in the Finite-Temperature Critical Ising Chain

This paper demonstrates that the finite-temperature critical transverse-field Ising chain exhibits quantitative signatures of black-hole physics, such as universal antipodal transport, exponential relaxation via quasi-normal modes, and a Hawking-Page-like entropy minimum, thereby establishing it as an experimentally accessible platform for probing quantum black hole dynamics within the AdS/CFT correspondence.

Quantum-to-semiclassical Husimi dynamics of non-Hermitian localization transitions

This paper investigates non-Hermitian quasiperiodic localization transitions using semiclassical Husimi dynamics and finds that, unlike their Hermitian counterparts, the critical points do not universally align with classical phase-space predictions due to a sensitive dependence on the irrational parameter, though a faithful classical-quantum mimicry can still be achieved within specific parameter regimes and finite time windows.

Quantum criticality in sub-Ohmic systems with three competing terms: beyond conventional spin-boson physics

This paper systematically investigates quantum phase transitions in sub-Ohmic spin-boson systems with three competing terms using variational calculations, revealing a rich phase diagram that includes a novel U(1)-symmetric phase and a multi-stage transition sequence at low tunneling strengths, thereby extending beyond conventional spin-boson physics.

Exact solution of a two-dimensional (2D) Ising model with the next nearest interactions

This paper derives the exact solution for a two-dimensional Ising model with next-nearest-neighbor interactions at zero magnetic field by adapting 3D Ising methods to analyze transfer matrices in multiple representations, ultimately obtaining the partition function and spontaneous magnetization to demonstrate how increased interactions and topological contributions elevate the critical point.

Ground states of the Ising model at fixed magnetization on a triangular ladder with three-spin interactions

This paper presents an exact solution for the ground states of the Ising model with three-spin interactions on a triangular ladder at fixed magnetization by reformulating the problem as a linear program, revealing a phase diagram that includes periodic, phase-separated, and ordered aperiodic states, while showing that treating magnetization as a free parameter restricts the ground states to specific periodic configurations.

Hybrid quantum-classical systems: statistics, entropy, microcanonical ensemble and its connection to the canonical ensemble

This paper establishes a rigorous mathematical framework for hybrid classical-quantum systems by deriving their microcanonical ensemble via a maximum entropy principle, demonstrating its well-defined nature for continuous energy values and its consistency with the canonical ensemble, while validating the theory through a toy model.

Scale-free cluster-cluster aggregation during polymer collapse

Using molecular dynamics simulations, this study demonstrates that the collapse of extended polymers exhibits scale-free cluster-cluster aggregation with universal dynamic scaling, where the growth exponent remains constant (z1.67z \approx 1.67) across varying bending stiffness, while deviations from standard diffusion-controlled relations in stiffer polymers arise from stiffness-dependent variations in cluster structure and effective diffusion.

Site-decorated model for unconventional frustrated magnets: Ultranarrow phase crossover and two-dimensional spin reversal transition

This paper introduces a site-decorated Ising model that exactly maps to a frustrated bond-decorated system to explain ultranarrow phase crossovers and derive an exact solution for a temperature- or field-triggered spin-reversal transition, offering potential applications in energy-efficient devices and serving as a validated testbed for AI-assisted scientific discovery.

Quantum-to-Classical Transition via Single-Shot Generalized Measurements

This paper establishes an operational link between discrete generalized measurements and continuous decoherence, demonstrating that a single measurement round can abruptly eliminate quasiprobability negativity in finite-dimensional systems at a critical time that may precede the conventional decoherence time, thereby offering new insights into the quantum-to-classical transition and potential applications in quantum circuits.

Dissipation- versus Chaos-Induced Relaxation in Non-Markovian Quantum Many-Body Systems

This paper investigates an open Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model coupled to a pseudogapped fermionic bath using the Keldysh formalism, revealing a rich dynamical phase diagram where non-Markovian dissipation competes with internal chaos to produce distinct regimes of power-law and exponential relaxation, as well as an intermediate crossover phase.

Open quantum systems beyond equilibrium: Lindblad equation and path integral molecular dynamics

This paper establishes a formal equivalence between the Lindblad equation and Path Integral Molecular Dynamics (PIMD), demonstrating how PIMD can be utilized to simulate the non-equilibrium time evolution and convergence of ensemble-averaged observables in large atomic systems without explicitly solving the Lindblad equation, while ensuring the physical consistency of the density operator's positivity.

Universal purification dynamics in real non-unitary quantum processes

This paper investigates the universal purification dynamics in monitored non-unitary quantum processes across different random-matrix symmetry classes by employing two complementary toy models—discrete-time Gaussian matrix multiplication and continuous-time Dyson Brownian motion—to derive explicit expressions for the universal decay of Rényi entropies and validate these theoretical predictions through numerical simulations.

Magnetohydrodynamics in turbulent dynamo regime: the stability problem

This paper demonstrates that the previously proposed stabilization mechanism for helical magnetohydrodynamic turbulence via spontaneous symmetry breaking yields only singular solutions due to inconsistent truncations, arguing instead that a consistent field-theoretic description of large-scale mean-field generation requires the inclusion of a bare curl term arising from parity-violating modifications to Ohm's law.
