Abstract

We investigate the subsystem entanglement asymmetry in random quantum automaton ensembles, which are generated by permuting the basis states in the Hilbert space and applying global phase shifts. We compute the ensemble average of the $U(1)$ subsystem asymmetry in different connectivity geometries, showing that the late-time limit of the ensemble associated to a 2-local circuit geometry coincides with the all-to-all ensemble average. By focusing on different subsystem sizes, we demonstrate that, similarly to Haar-random circuits, the system locally symmetrizes. However, in sharp contrast to the Haar-random setting, the scale at which symmetrization happens depends on the initial state, a phenomenon we associate with the interplay of conservation of the participation entropy and the uniform exploration of charge sectors. Additionally, we connect the growth of the subsystem asymmetry to the subsystem coherence and show that their growth is characterized by the same symmetrization scale.

Classical Cellular Automaton for Measurement-Only Entanglement Transitions

We introduce a generalized classical long-range stochastic cellular automaton that exactly captures the entanglement dynamics and transitions of a measurement-only monitored quantum system. The corresponding quantum model consists of a one-dimensional qubit chain subject to competing single-site and long-range Bell mea...

Fixed Points, Floquet Entanglement Asymmetry, and Quantum Mpemba Effects

We investigate the dynamics of entanglement asymmetry in periodically driven two-dimensional conformal field theories with a global U$(1)$ symmetry, using a dynamical-system description based on iterated conformal maps, in particular M\"obius maps. Starting from a symmetry-breaking excited state prepared by a local ope...

Entanglement governs early-time growth of randomness in projected ensembles

Deep thermalization concerns the emergence of universal pure-state statistics in projected ensembles at late times, yet the mechanism governing the initial growth of randomness remains unclear. Here, we study the short-time dynamics of projected ensembles generated from initially unentangled states, quantifying their r...

Inequalities and Positivity in Modular Flowed Entanglement Entropy

The modular Hamiltonian plays an important role in quantum information theory, quantum field theory, and the AdS/CFT correspondence. In this paper, we study a specific dynamical setup: starting from the tensor product of the reduced density matrices of a reference state, we evolve this product state under the modular f...

Tripartite entanglement in chaotic eigenstates

It is now well-established that classical statistical mechanics emerges from the entanglement structure of quantum chaotic systems, as quantified by the (subsystem) eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH). While this statement rests on the well-studied bipartite entanglement of the eigenstates of such systems, recen...

Measurement-induced entanglement Hamiltonian

We study the entanglement Hamiltonian of an infinite hopping chain in its ground state, after partial projective measurements in the occupation basis. For a segment separated by two measurement regions from the rest of the chain, we show that the reduced density matrix can be related to a grand-canonical state via a co...
