Abstract

We study how multipartite entanglement is dynamically reorganized during holographic thermalization following a global quench in AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$. We first use the $n$-partite information $(-1)^n I_n$ to probe collective multipartite entanglement in holographic configurations where the full $n$-region entanglement wedge is connected while all fewer-party ones are disconnected, thereby excluding fewer-party contributions. The spatial range of multipartite entanglement first expands and then contracts as the system approaches its late-time locally thermal state. Entanglement involving different numbers of parties develops on comparable early-time scales, while the entanglement that involves more parties relaxes more slowly, revealing a transient propagation from shorter to longer spatial distances. We further compute the Markov gap and the genuine tripartite multi-entropy as complementary probes of tripartite entanglement. The Markov gap can remain enhanced after local thermalization, whereas the genuine tripartite multi-entropy undergoes a nonmonotonic evolution and returns to its vacuum value for the adjacent tripartition considered in this work. These results show that a global quench redistributes the entanglement across spatial scales and reorganizes its multipartite structure.

Multipartite Entanglement Geometry in AdS/BCFT

Multipartite entanglement measures probe how quantum correlations are organized beyond what can be inferred from pairwise entropies. We study how this structure is reshaped by a physical boundary in a holographic BCFT. The end-of-the-world brane opens new relative-homology channels for multipartite entanglement, allowi...

Can Multipartite Entanglement Probe Wormhole Moduli Invisible to Bipartite Entanglement?

We ask whether multipartite entanglement can probe bulk moduli invisible to bipartite entanglement. We study this question in an explicit family of four-boundary AdS$_3$ wormholes related by a Fenchel-Nielsen twist $\tau$, asking whether the complete set of bipartite RT entropies can remain exactly $\tau$-independent w...

Multipartite Entanglement Can Probe Wormhole Moduli Invisible to Bipartite Entanglement

In a companion paper, we found that near the untwisted point of a four-boundary AdS$_3$ wormhole, whenever the complete bipartite Ryu-Takayanagi entropy vector is insensitive to a Fenchel-Nielsen twist, the holographic $\mathtt q=4$ multi-entropy is insensitive as well. Here we show that the situation changes at finite...

Entanglement Embezzlement from Diffusive Hydrodynamics

Entanglement embezzlement asks how much entanglement can be borrowed from a many-body state by local operations and classical communication while returning that state with a small error. We uncover a conservation-law mechanism that redistributes the dominant probability mass of the Schmidt spectrum in the logarithmic S...

Multipartite k‐Entanglement Measures and Coherence

Characterizing the entanglement in multipartite quantum systems remains a central challenge in the theory of quantum entanglement. We establish a comprehensive framework for constructing k$k$ ‐entanglement measures by leveraging bipartite entanglement measures and general m$m$ ‐entanglement measures ( m≤k$m \le k$ ) wi...

Discrete-time quantum walks provide a versatile framework for investigating the generation, redistribution, and transport of quantum correlations in composite quantum systems. Here, we study the dynamics of bipartite and genuine multipartite entanglement in a two-walker discrete-time quantum walk on a one-dimensional l...
