That Plate You Just Dropped Followed a Weirdly Predictable Rule You’ve Never Heard Of
One innate (perhaps underappreciated) function of physics is to explain and generalize how stuff works in the real…
Learning quantum states of continuous-variable systems
Trace distance The trace distance between two quantum states ρ1 and ρ2 is defined as $${d}_{{\rm{tr}}}(\;{\rho }_{1},{\rho }_{2}):=\frac{1}{2}\|{\rho…
Fermi polarons under strain-induced pseudomagnetic fields
Pseudospin in strained TMDs The spatial symmetry of TMDs dictates that a linearly polarized photon in a state…
Reality Is Too Complex For Any Cosmic Computer Simulation, Study Suggests
How do we know we’re not living in a computer simulation? Is it even possible to tell? For…
Entanglement theory with limited computational resources
We now aim to determine the fundamental limits and possibilities of computationally efficient entanglement manipulation. Here the goal…

Chaos controlled and disorder driven phase transitions induced by breaking permutation symmetry
Solvable case of \(p=0\), generic initial coherent states It is both instructive and interesting to first examine the…
Researchers Claim First ‘Unconditional Proof’ of Quantum Advantage. What Happens Next?
Quantum computers are already here, even though it’s not readily apparent. Now, researchers say quantum advantage—the field’s long-promised…
Entanglement and the density matrix renormalization group in the generalized Landau paradigm
Dualities We explain here how to obtain the models dual to equation (1) considered in the main text.…
Exact collective occupancies of the Moshinsky model in two-dimensional geometry
We consider a system of N bosons in a two-dimensional isotropic harmonic potential, interacting with a force proportional…
