Entanglement dynamics of many-body quantum states: sensitivity to system conditions and a hidden universality

We consider physical Hamiltonians that can be represented by the multiparametric Gaussian ensembles, theoretically derive the state ensembles for its eigenstates and analyze the effect of varying system conditions on its bipartite entanglement entropy. Our approach leads to a single parametric based common mathematical formulation for the evolution of the entanglement statistics of different states of a given Hamiltonian or different Hamiltonians subjected to same symmetry constraints. The parameter turns out to be a single functional of the system parameters and thereby reveals a deep web of connection hidden underneath different quantum states.

Single-particle entanglement dynamics in complex systems

We analyze the effect of varying system conditions on the single-particle entanglement entropy for an arbitrary eigenstate of a complex system that can be described by a multiparametric Gaussian ensemble. Our theoretical analysis leads to the identification of a single functional of the system parameters that governs the entropy dynamics. This reveals a sensitivity of the entropy to collective information content, characterized by the functional, instead of the individual system details. The functional can further be used to identify the universality classes as well as a deep web of connection underlying different quantum states.

Distribution of the entanglement entropy of a non-ergodic quantum state

We theoretically derive the probability densities of the entanglement measures of a pure non-ergodic many-body state, represented in a bipartite product basis and with its reduced density matrix described by a generalized, multi-parametric Wishart ensemble with unit trace. Our results indicate significant fluctuations of the measures around their average behavior (specifically for the states away from separability and maximum entanglement limits). The information is relevant not only for hierarchical arrangement of entangled states (e.g., revealing the flaws in their characterization based on average behavior) but also for phase transition studies of many body systems.

Edge of entanglement in non-ergodic states: a complexity parameter formulation

We analyze the subsystem size scaling of the entanglement entropy of a non-ergodic pure state that can be described by a multi-parametric Gaussian ensemble of complex matrices in a bipartite basis. Our analysis indicates, for a given set of global constraints, the existence of infinite number of universality classes of local complexity, characterized by the complexity parameter, for which the entanglement entropy reveals a universal scaling with subsystem size. A rescaling of the complexity parameter helps us to identify the critical regime for the entanglement entropy of a broad range of pure non-ergodic states.

Entanglement dynamics of multi-parametric random states: a single parametric formulation

A non-ergodic quantum state of a many body system is in general random as well as multi-parametric, former due to a lack of exact information due to complexity and latter reflecting its varied behavior in different parts of the Hilbert space. An appropriate representation for the reduced density matrix of such a state is a generalized, multi-parametric Wishart ensemble with unit trace. Our theoretical analysis of these ensembles not only resolves the controversy about the growth rates of the average information entropies of the generic states but also leads to new insights in their entanglement dynamics. While the state itself is multi-parametric, we find that the growth of the average measures can be described in terms of an information-theoretic function, referred as the complexity parameter. The latter in turn leads to a common mathematical formulation of the measures for a wide range of states; it could also act as a possible tool for hierarchical arrangement of the entangled states of different systems.

Symmetry Analysis of Surfactant Driven Thin Liquid Film Equations

Spreading of liquid thin film driven by surfactant due to the Marangoni effect is described using a coupled system of second-order partial differential equations. Lie group of transformation are used to obtain the symmetries of the given system of partial differential equations. The symmetries are then used to arrive at a semi-analytic solution of the system. Furthermore, a vector field analysis of the obtained solution is performed to provide additional insights into the problem. The obtained results demonstrate that the surfactant concentration drives the fluid, and thereby the fluid thins faster.
