It is well known that the violation of a local uncertainty relation can be used as an indicator for the presence of entanglement. Unfortunately, the practical use of these nonlinear witnesses has been limited to few special cases in the past. However, new methods for computing uncertainty bounds have become available. Here we report on an experimental implementation of uncertainty-based entanglement witnesses, benchmarked in a regime dominated by strong local noise. We combine the new computational method with a local noise tomography in order to design noise-adapted entanglement witnesses. This proof-of-principle experiment shows that quantum noise can be successfully handled by a fully quantum model in order to enhance the ability to detect entanglement.

Energy-filtered quantum states are promising candidates for efficiently simulating thermal states. We explore a protocol designed to transition a product state into an eigenstate located in the middle of the spectrum; this is achieved by gradually reducing its energy variance, which allows us to comprehensively understand the crossover phenomenon and the subsequent convergence toward thermal behavior. We introduce and discuss three energy-filtering regimes (short, medium, and long), and we interpret them as stages of thermalization.

Quantum entanglement uncovers the essential principles of quantum matter, yet determining its structure in realistic many-body systems poses significant challenges. Here, we employ a protocol, dubbed entanglement microscopy, to reveal the multipartite entanglement encoded in the full reduced density matrix of the microscopic subregion in spin and fermionic many-body systems. We exemplify our method by studying the phase diagram near quantum critical points (QCP) in 2 spatial dimensions: the transverse field Ising model and a Gross-Neveu-Yukawa transition of Dirac fermions.

How can detector click probabilities respond to spatial rotations around a fixed axis, in any possible physical theory? Here, we give a thorough mathematical analysis of this question in terms of "rotation boxes", which are analogous to the well-known notion of non-local boxes. We prove that quantum theory admits the most general rotational correlations for spins 0, 1/2, and 1, but we describe a metrological game where beyond-quantum resources of spin 3/2 outperform all quantum resources of the same spin. We prove a multitude of fundamental results about these correlations, including an exact convex characterization of the spin-1 correlations, a Tsirelson-type inequality for spins 3/2 and higher, and a proof that the general spin- correlations provide an efficient outer SDP approximation to the quantum set.

Testing Whether Gravity Acts as a Quantum Entity When Measured.

Article Synopsis
  • Classical systems allow measurements without causing disturbance, while quantum systems do not, particularly in the context of gravity.
  • The proposed experimental setup involves multiple interferometers to measure a gravitational field created by a spatial superposition, aiming to demonstrate nonclassical effects.
  • This test is unique as it doesn't rely on specific nonclassical gravity forms or entanglement, and it can detect quantum measurement disturbance regardless of decoherence rates, making it device independent.
