We introduce a subsystem generalization of the spectral form factor via pseudo entropy, the von-Neumann entropy for the reduced transition matrix. We consider a transition matrix between the thermofield double state and its time-evolved state in two-dimensional conformal field theories, and study the time-dependence of the pseudo entropy for a single interval. We show that the real part of the pseudo entropy behaves similarly to the spectral form factor; it starts from the thermal entropy, initially drops to the minimum, then it starts increasing, and finally approaches the vacuum entanglement entropy. We also study the theory-dependence of its behavior by considering theories on a compact space.

  1. Imaginary pseudo entropy encodes temporal orientation

    quant-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    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.

  2. Thermal Pseudo-Entropy

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Thermal pseudo-entropy is the analytic continuation S(β+it) of thermal entropy, equals the pseudo-entropy of a Thermofield Double transition matrix, and its averaged real part tracks the spectral form factor.
