Cover Story: Quantum information scrambling describes how initially localized information spreads across many degrees of freedom in quantum systems, a process crucial to understanding thermalization. While typically studied in sudden quenches, this work explores scrambling during adiabatic evolution in critical systems. The cover illustrates an adiabatic cycle where information, initially encoded in a symmetry-breaking state, becomes scrambled as the system transitions between quantum phases. Although the populations of the initial state remain intact, relative phases among eigenstates change, rendering the encoded information inaccessible and factually lost. This research connects information scrambling with quantum phase transitions, offering insights for experimental studies of quantum many-body systems. View this paper

The book amounts are modeled as values of a random variable, represented by a mixture of distributions of both the correct and error-contaminated amounts. The mixing coefficient represents the proportion of items with non-zero error amounts. This stu...

How do transformers model physics? Do transformers model systems with interpretable analytical solutions or do they create an “alien physics” that is difficult for humans to decipher? We have taken a step towards demystifying this larger...

We introduce derangetropy, which is a novel functional measure designed to characterize the dynamics of information within probability distributions. Unlike scalar measures such as Shannon entropy, derangetropy offers a functional representation that...

We analyze the generalization properties of batch reinforcement learning (batch RL) with value function approximation from an information-theoretic perspective. We derive generalization bounds for batch RL using (conditional) mutual information. In a...

Asa result of the time lag in transmission, the data obtained by the sensor is delayed and does not reflect the state at the current moment. The effects of input delay are often overlooked in active inference (AIF), which may lead to significant devi...
