Understanding fluctuation phenomena plays a dominant role in the development of many-body physics. The time evolution of entanglement is essential to a broad range of subjects in many-body physics, ranging from exotic quantum matter to quantum thermalization. Stemming from various dynamical processes of information, fluctuations in entanglement evolution differ conceptually from out-of-equilibrium fluctuations of traditional physical quantities. Their studies remain elusive. Here we uncover an emergent random structure in the evolution of the many-body wavefunction in two classes of integrable-either interacting or noninteracting-lattice models. It gives rise to out-of-equilibrium entanglement fluctuations which fall into the paradigm of mesoscopic fluctuations of wave interference origin. Specifically, the entanglement entropy variance obeys a universal scaling law in each class, and the full distribution displays a sub-Gaussian upper and a sub-Gamma lower tail. These statistics are independent of both the system's microscopic details and the choice of entanglement probes, and broaden the class of mesoscopic universalities. They have practical implications for controlling entanglement in mesoscopic devices.

One-sided device-independent random number generation through fiber channels.

Light Sci Appl

State Key Laboratory of Quantum Optics and Quantum Optics Devices, Institute of Opto-Electronics, Shanxi University, Taiyuan, 030006, China.

Randomness is an essential resource and plays important roles in various applications ranging from cryptography to simulation of complex systems. Certified randomness from quantum process is ensured to have the element of privacy but usually relies on the device's behavior. To certify randomness without the characterization for device, it is crucial to realize the one-sided device-independent random number generation based on quantum steering, which guarantees security of randomness and relaxes the demands of one party's device.

Preserving positivity in density-explicit field-theoretic simulations.

J Chem Phys

Department of Chemical Engineering, University of California, Santa Barbara, California 93106, USA.

Field-theoretic simulations are numerical methods for polymer field theory, which include fluctuation corrections beyond the mean-field level, successfully capturing various mesoscopic phenomena. Most field-theoretic simulations of polymeric fluids use the auxiliary field (AF) theory framework, which employs Hubbard-Stratonovich transformations for the particle-to-field conversion. Nonetheless, the Hubbard-Stratonovich transformation imposes significant limitations on the functional form of the non-bonded potentials.

Universal Energy Fluctuations in Inelastic Scattering Processes.

Phys Rev Lett

Departamento de Física, Facultad de Ciencias Físicas y Matemáticas, Universidad de Chile, 837.0415 Santiago, Chile.

Quantum scattering is used ubiquitously in both experimental and theoretical physics across a wide range of disciplines, from high-energy physics to mesoscopic physics. In this Letter, we uncover universal relations for the energy fluctuations of a quantum system scattering inelastically with a particle at arbitrary kinetic energies. In particular, we prove a fluctuation relation describing an asymmetry between energy absorbing and releasing processes which relies on the nonunital nature of the underlying quantum map.

Understanding alterations in structural disorders in tissue/cells/building blocks, such as DNA/chromatin in the human brain, at the nano to submicron level provides us with efficient biomarkers for Alzheimer's detection. Here, we report a dual photonics technique to detect nano- to submicron-scale alterations in brain tissues/cells and DNA/chromatin due to the early to late progression of Alzheimer's disease in humans. Using a recently developed mesoscopic light transport technique, fine-focused nano-sensitive partial wave spectroscopy (PWS), we measure the degree of structural disorder in tissues.
