abstract

String breaking, the process by which flux tubes fragment into hadronic states, is a hallmark of confinement in strongly-interacting quantum field theories. A suite of quantum complexity measures is examined using Matrix Product States to characterize the string breaking process in the 1+1D Schwinger model. We demonstrate the presence of nonlocal quantum correlations along the string that may affect fragmentation dynamics, and show that entanglement and magic offer complementary perspectives on string formation and breaking beyond conventional observables.

Gluon Entanglement Entropy inside a Nucleon: A Toy Model

hep-ph · 2026-05-11 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

In a toy honeycomb-lattice model of a nucleon, gluon entanglement entropy after a sudden quark removal is dominated by dynamically generated contributions during time evolution.

The nonlocal magic of a holographic Schwinger pair

hep-th · 2026-05-05 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Holographic Schwinger pair creation generates nonlocal magic for spacetime dimensions d>2, as shown by a non-flat entanglement spectrum that can be read from the probe brane free energy.
