Field-Space Entanglement Dynamics Between Tunnel-Coupled Luttinger Liquids

Entanglement dynamics depend not only on how a quantum system is partitioned, but critically on how interactions across that partition are structured. For a spatial bipartition of a locally interacting system, entanglement is generated near the boundary and then propagates into the bulk. By contrast, when two extended quantum fields are coupled locally along their entire length, the interaction crosses the field-space partition everywhere, and this generates correlations throughout the system. Here, we study the entanglement dynamics between two gapless one-dimensional quantum many-body systems described by Luttinger liquid theory. The systems are initially decoupled and prepared at zero or finite temperature, after which a time-dependent tunneling interaction is activated uniformly along their length. Within a Gaussian approximation, we derive general analytical expressions for the logarithmic negativity, mutual information, and Rényi entropies under arbitrary coupling protocols. At zero temperature, entanglement displays an early-time power-law growth whose exponent is fixed solely by the first non-null derivative of the tunneling protocol. Once the coupling saturates, we obtain exact long-time averages of the information-theoretic quantities and characterise how the correlations scale with temperature and the final coupling strength. We also analyse how mutual information and logarithmic negativity approach the adiabatic limit for a very slow protocol with respect to intrinsic system timescale. This work extends the study of entanglement dynamics in nonequilibrium field theory to field-space partitions and mixed initial states.

Extensive entanglement between coupled Tomonaga-Luttinger liquids in and out of equilibrium

Quantum entanglement exists in nature but is absent in classical physics, hence it fundamentally distinguishes quantum from classical theories. While entanglement is routinely observed for few-body systems, it is significantly more challenging to witness in quantum many-body systems. Here, we theoretically study entanglement between two parallel and spatially separated Tomonaga-Luttinger liquids (TLLs) partitioned along the longitudinal axis. In particular, we focus on 1D Bose gases as a realization of TLLs and investigate two experimentally relevant situations: tunnel-coupled gases at finite temperatures and after coherent splitting. In both scenarios, we analytically calculate the logarithmic negativity and identify a threshold temperature below which the system is entangled. Notably, this threshold temperature is accessible in the current and near-term 1D Bose gas experiments. Furthermore, we investigate the crossover between quantum and classical correlations in the vicinity of the threshold temperature by comparing logarithmic negativity with mutual information. We argue that the initial mutual information established by the coherent splitting is conserved in TLL dynamics, thus preventing certain generalized Gibbs ensembles from being reached during prethermalization. Moreover, both logarithmic negativity and mutual information are found to scale extensively with the subsystem's length. Although the ground-state entanglement between coupled TLLs has been predicted to be extensive, this setting is largely overlooked compared to other partitions. Our work extends the study of entanglement between coupled TLLs to finite temperatures and out-of-equilibrium regimes, and provides a strategy towards experimental detection of extensive entanglement in quantum many-body systems at finite temperatures.

Systematic analysis of relative phase extraction in one-dimensional Bose gases interferometry

Spatially resolved relative phase measurement of two adjacent 1D Bose gases is enabled by matter-wave interference upon free expansion. However, longitudinal dynamics is typically ignored in the analysis of experimental data. We provide an analytical formula showing a correction to the readout of the relative phase due to longitudinal expansion and mixing with the common phase. We numerically assess the error propagation to the estimation of the gases' physical quantities such as correlation functions and temperature. Our work characterizes the reliability and robustness of interferometric measurements, directing us to the improvement of existing phase extraction methods necessary to observe new physical phenomena in cold-atomic quantum simulators.

Measurement of total phase fluctuation in cold-atomic quantum simulators

Studying the dynamics of quantum many-body systems is often constrained by the limitations in probing relevant observables, especially in continuous systems. A powerful method to gain information about such systems is the reconstruction of local currents from the continuity equation. We show that this approach can be used to extract the total phase fluctuation of adjacent Bose gases. We validate our technique numerically and demonstrate its effectiveness by analyzing data from selected experiments simulating 1D quantum field theories through the phase difference of two parallel 1D Bose gases. This analysis reveals the previously hidden sector of the sum mode of the phase, which is important for studying long-time thermalization and out-of-equilibrium dynamics of the system. Our method is general and can be applied to other cold atom systems with spatial phase gradients, thereby expanding the scope and capabilities of cold-atomic quantum simulators.

Synchronization Lower Bounds the Efficiency of Near-Degenerate Thermal Machines

We study the relationship between quantum synchronization and the thermodynamic performance of a four-level near-degenerate extension of the Scovil-Schulz Dubois thermal maser. We show how the existence of interacting coherences can potentially modify the relationship between synchronization and the coherent power output of such a maser. In particular, the cooperation and competition between interacting coherences, causes the coherent heat and efficiency to be bounded by the synchronization measure in addition to the well-studied power synchronization bound. Overall, our results highlight the role of quantum synchronization in the working of a thermal machine.

Cooperation and Competition in Synchronous Open Quantum Systems

Synchronization between limit cycle oscillators can arise through entrainment to an external drive or through mutual coupling. The interplay between the two mechanisms has been studied in classical synchronizing systems, but not in quantum systems. Here, we point out that competition and cooperation between the two mechanisms can occur due to phase pulling and phase repulsion in quantum systems. We study their interplay in collectively driven degenerate quantum thermal machines and show that these mechanisms either cooperate or compete depending on the working mode of the machine (refrigerator or engine). The entrainment-mutual synchronization interplay persists with an increase in the number of degenerate levels, while in the thermodynamic limit of degeneracy, mutual synchronization dominates. Overall, our work investigates the effect of degeneracy and multilevel scaling of quantum synchronization and shows how different synchronizing mechanisms can cooperate and compete in quantum systems.
