Abstract

We study bilinear order-parameter correlations in a general class of sign problem-free systems that are described by what we call Fluctuating Gaussian States (FGS) with anti-unitary symmetries, where the weight of each Gaussian measurement in the space-time path integral is positive-definite. Supported by Monte Carlo simulations on fluctuating Gaussian fermionic and bosonic examples, we argue that such systems generally exhibit two types of broken-symmetry phases: a \emph{saddle point phase} and a \emph{non-local contraction phase}, with the competition between the two determined by the stability of the fluctuation saddle point of FGS. Due to the Fermi liquid instability in fermionic FGS with anti-unitary symmetries, we also discuss the possibility of representing fermionic FGS with a particular Projected Entangled-Pair State (PEPS) ansatz, which we argue a certain construction provides an efficient description for the saddle point phase, but not for the non-local contraction phase. Finally, we discuss the potential implication of our result in non-equilibrium systems and stabilizing a target bilinear order.

Approximation theorems for fermionic Gaussian states

A recurring principle in many-body physics is that sufficiently distributed interactions or correlations lead to an effectively mean-field description. For fermionic Gaussian states, we establish a quantitative version of this principle directly at the level of Majorana covariance matrices. The main observation is that...

Universal Bound and Phase Transition in Many-Body Fermionic Non-Gaussianity

Fermionic non-Gaussianity is a resource for universal quantum computation that can be generated by interactions in quantum many-body systems. Using the magic R\'enyi entropy (MRE) as a measure of non-Gaussianity, we derive its universal upper bound and Haar mean, proving that typical Haar-random states attain the maxim...

Characterizing Fermionic Non-Gaussianity in the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev Model via Replica Twist Entropy

Understanding the non-equilibrium dynamics of quantum many-body systems plays a central role in modern many-body physics. Intriguing insights emerge from investigating how quantum resources, which are essential for achieving unambiguous quantumness, are generated and spread under chaotic quantum dynamics. In fermionic...

Theory of post-selected entanglement transitions in monitored bosons

Entanglement phase transitions driven by quantum measurements have emerged as a central paradigm in open quantum many-body physics. Such phase transitions are well established for systems with finite local Hilbert-space dimensions, such as qubits and fermions, while their realization in bosonic systems with unbounded l...

Exact Gaussian Entanglement Dynamics and Initial-State Control in Coupled Parametric Oscillators

We study two bilinearly coupled harmonic oscillators driven by a common time-dependent spring. A fixed normal-mode transformation reduces the pair to two parametric oscillators, each solved exactly by its Lewis-Riesenfeld invariant and Ermakov-Pinney amplitude, including the ladder-operator construction and the Lewis-R...

Spectral Edge Rigidity of Quantum Chaotic States

We determine the distribution of fidelity susceptibility for chaotic eigenstates at the spectral edge of Gaussian random-matrix ensembles. Previous work showed that, in the unitary class, the characteristic susceptibility scale of edge states grows as $D^{1/3}$, rather than proportionally to $D$ as in the spectral bulk...
