Beyond Locality: Unraveling Entanglement in Complex Quantum Systems

14.11.2025 by pricpr

Entanglement entropy scales with subsystem length, exhibiting a volume-law regime that expands with increasing nonlocality; specifically, stronger nonlocality—as evidenced by parameters up to $1000$—significantly enhances this volume-law scaling, sustaining it across a broader range of subsystem lengths and fundamentally altering the entanglement structure.

$The decision process relies on $ZZ$-measurement outcomes to confidently assign variables; exclusion of either $-\sin(\theta)$ or $\sin(\theta)$ immediately determines the corresponding variable’s value, while ambiguous results—indicated by an orange regime—necessitate increased measurement precision, and a pink regime signals sufficient certainty to finalize the variable assignment.$
