Symmetry from Entanglement Suppression
read the original abstract
Symmetry is among the most fundamental and powerful concepts in nature, whose existence is usually taken as given, without explanation. We explore whether symmetry can be derived from more fundamental principles from the perspective of quantum information. Starting with a two-qubit system, we show there are only two minimally entangling logic gates: the Identity and the SWAP, where SWAP interchanges the two states of the qubits. We further demonstrate that, when viewed as an entanglement operator in the spin-space, the $S$-matrix in the two-body scattering of fermions in the $s$-wave channel is uniquely determined by unitarity and rotational invariance to be a linear combination of the Identity and the SWAP. Realizing a minimally entangling $S$-matrix would give rise to global symmetries, as exemplified in Wigner's spin-flavor symmetry and Schr\"odinger's conformal invariance in low energy Quantum Chromodynamics. For $N_q$ species of qubit, the Identity gate is associated with an $[SU(2)]^{N_q}$ symmetry, which is enlarged to $SU(2N_q)$ when there is a species-universal coupling constant.

Magic without a phase: phase-independent stabilizer R\'enyi entropy in gluon scattering
A phase-averaged stabilizer Rényi entropy is introduced for tree-level gluon scattering, with color-independent phase-independent magic that is larger in 3→2 than 2→2 and has a soft-limit lower bound in 2→3.

Entangling Power: A Probe of Symmetry and Integrability in Quantum Many-Body Systems
Entangling power in Heisenberg spin chains shows a monotonic decrease with growing symmetry in small models, sharp dips at SU(2) and free-fermion points in finite chains, and vanishes at SU(2) points but maximizes at ...

Quantum Resources and Wigner Symmetry in Nucleon-Nucleon Scattering from Effective Field Theory
Under Wigner's SU(4) symmetry the neutron-proton scattering amplitude generates no new quantum resources while same-nucleon channels do due to identical-particle constraints.
