abstract
We introduce a quantity, called pseudo entropy, as a generalization of entanglement entropy via post-selection. In the AdS/CFT correspondence, this quantity is dual to areas of minimal area surfaces in time-dependent Euclidean spaces which are asymptotically AdS. We study its basic properties and classifications in qubit systems. In specific examples, we provide a quantum information theoretic meaning of this new quantity as an averaged number of Bell pairs when the post-selection is performed. We also present properties of the pseudo entropy for random states. We then calculate the pseudo entropy in the presence of local operator excitations for both the two dimensional free massless scalar CFT and two dimensional holographic CFTs. We find a general property in CFTs that the pseudo entropy is highly reduced when the local operators get closer to the boundary of the subsystem. We also compute the holographic pseudo entropy for a Janus solution, dual to an exactly marginal perturbation of a two dimensional CFT and find its agreement with a perturbative calculation in the dual CFT. We show the linearity property holds for holographic states, where the holographic pseudo entropy coincides with a weak value of the area operator. Finally, we propose a mixed state generalization of pseudo entropy and give its gravity dual.

The calibrated pseudo-Rényi phase and replica visibility exactly equal the Helstrom trace distance between forward and backward ancilla states, giving a bounded operational meaning to imaginary pseudo entropy.
Proposes stress tensor deformation dictionary in dS/CFT via metric-flow and mixed boundary conditions at future infinity, with exact consistency check in Kerr-dS3/CFT2 and pseudo entropy computations for TTbar and root-TTbar deformations.
For n=2, Rényi multi-entropies in RTNs are determined by minimal multiway cuts; the minimal multiway cut conjecture fails for integer n>2 with explicit counterexamples.
Generalized entanglement entropies are constructed via left-, right-, and bi-invariant unit-invariant singular value decompositions to ensure scale invariance for non-Hermitian and rectangular operators in quantum mechanics, random matrices, and Chern-Simons theory.
Boundary-CFT scaling dimensions and central charge can be reconstructed from the system-size dependence and phase of Loschmidt echoes after a critical quench, bypassing ground-state preparation.
Complexified exactly-marginal couplings produce solvable complex CFTs, with the Ising defect verified numerically in non-Hermitian chains.
Holographic dual of PT-symmetric BCFT via imaginary scalar on EOW brane shows spontaneous PT breaking and enhanced entanglement entropy growth in quenched state.
Short-time real-time pseudo entropy obeys S_A(t,0)=S_A(0)-it ⟨K_A(H−⟨H⟩)⟩ + O(t²), with imaginary response from symmetrized covariance of H and K_A.
A construction assigns pure states to subregions in quantum gravity via partially frozen path integrals and gives a holographic prescription for their entanglement entropy that satisfies consistency conditions and recovers known formulas.
The Euclidean path integral on elliptic de Sitter defines a no-boundary density matrix whose entropies reduce to vertex operator correlators on non-orientable surfaces, with a one-dimensional global Hilbert space but nontrivial observer Fock spaces.
Pseudo entropy distinguishes topological from trivial phases in the SSH model via sign of averaged excess entropy ΔS12 and tracks quench critical times with its imaginary part.
Introduces tube-sector probabilities from the center of boundary tube algebras to give optimal one-shot distinguishability of quantum states under generalized symmetries.
Generic ergodic Hamiltonian dynamics in quantum Ising chains exhibits a long mesoscopic regime in temporal entanglement that deviates from random-circuit universality, suggesting slow spectral reorganization of the influence functional.
