abstract

The holographic principle states that on a fundamental level the information content of a region should depend on its surface area rather than on its volume. This counterintuitive idea which has its roots in the nonextensive nature of black-hole entropy serves as a guiding principle in the search for the fundamental laws of Planck-scale physics. In this paper we show that a similar phenomenon emerges from the established laws of classical and quantum physics: the information contained in part of a system in thermal equilibrium obeys an area law. While the maximal information per unit area depends classically only on the number of microscopic degrees of freedom, it may diverge as the inverse temperature in quantum systems. A rigorous relation between area laws and correlations is established and their explicit behavior is revealed for a large class of quantum many-body states beyond equilibrium systems.

Order-disorder trade-off in dirty quantum systems

cond-mat.dis-nn · 2026-05-27 · unverdicted · novelty 8.0

In disordered 1D quantum spin ensembles with Ising symmetry, gapped phases exhibit a strict trade-off: they have either long-range Edwards-Anderson order or even-parity disorder, but not both.

Separability and entanglement of resonating valence-bond states

cond-mat.str-el · 2022-12-22 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Proves exact separability for disconnected subsystems in dimer RK states and exponentially suppressed entanglement for RVB states on arbitrary lattices, with negativity expressed via partition functions.

Entanglement Requirements for Coherent Enhancement in Detectors

hep-ph · 2026-05-08 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Coherent enhancement in detectors is quantitatively constrained by single-mode entanglement entropy, with general bounds on scaling with system size that interpolate between incoherent and fully coherent regimes.

Mesoscopic Regimes of Temporal Entanglement in Ergodic Quantum Systems

quant-ph · 2026-05-08 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

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.
