Abstract

We investigate the average eigenstate entanglement in a bipartite many-body system which exhibits a breaking of two local conservation laws into a global conserved quantity. Such a setting is realized by the particle number conservation in Bose-Hubbard systems. We devise a corresponding random matrix model which captures the universal features of this symmetry breaking and allows for applying powerful random matrix methods. By combining the concept of symmetry resolved entanglement with perturbation theory for quantum chaotic systems we obtain a universal entanglement transition depending on a single fundamental parameter. Furthermore, the symmetry resolved entanglement allows for separating the genuine entanglement from the part which originates from the conserved quantity. This latter contribution is quantified by the number entropy. For this it is shown that the symmetry breaking generates a localization of the eigenstates due to a banded structure of the time-evolution operator. By extrapolating the results beyond the perturbative regime we obtain an analytic description of the full transition.

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...

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...

Transport interpretation of entanglement Hamiltonian cumulants in integrable quantum quenches

We study the dynamics of the cumulants of the entanglement Hamiltonian in interacting integrable models following global quantum quenches. Building on recent results based on space-time duality, we show that these cumulants are exactly given by the cumulants of currents of suitable conserved charges evaluated in the ma...

State-selective entanglement and point-gap topology in the unidirectional Bose-Hubbard chain

We study the effect of repulsive interactions on skin modes and entanglement in the unidirectional Bose--Hubbard model. Although the ground state of this integrable model undergoes a superfluid--Mott transition with suppressed skin accumulation, the corresponding change in entanglement depends on the selected many-body...

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...

Nonlocal Magic Spreading in Many-body Quantum Dynamics: From Chaotic Evolution to Quasi-particle Picture in Integrable Models

Entanglement and magic are resources that reveal complementary aspects of quantum many-body systems. Their interplay is captured by nonlocal magic, the magic that survives arbitrary local changes of basis. Yet their markedly different dynamical behavior leaves open how this irreducible component of magic spreads. Here...
