Entanglement is one of the most intriguing features of quantum mechanics. It describes non-local correlations between quantum objects, and is at the heart of quantum information sciences. Entanglement is rapidly gaining prominence in diverse fields ranging from condensed matter to quantum gravity. Despite this generality, measuring entanglement remains challenging. This is especially true in systems of interacting delocalized particles, for which a direct experimental measurement of spatial entanglement has been elusive. Here, we measure entanglement in such a system of itinerant particles using quantum interference of many-body twins. Leveraging our single-site resolved control of ultra-cold bosonic atoms in optical lattices, we prepare and interfere two identical copies of a many-body state. This enables us to directly measure quantum purity, Renyi entanglement entropy, and mutual information. These experiments pave the way for using entanglement to characterize quantum phases and dynamics of strongly-correlated many-body systems.

  1. Sharp Plucker Geometry for Three-Copy Werner Distillation

    quant-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    For three-copy Werner states at the critical noise level, every positive-semidefinite or normal rank-two test operator is shown to satisfy q3(C) >= 0, with the remaining nonnormal case reduced to a crossed-Gram criterion.

  2. 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.

  3. Discrete power-law decay of subsystem distance after a quantum quench

    quant-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For quenches in the transverse-field Ising chain, the Bures distance between the time-evolved subsystem state and its stationary generalized Gibbs ensemble decays as t^-λ, with λ taking only a few discrete values.

  4. Refining the Understanding of Operator Size Dynamics in Open Quantum Systems

    quant-ph 2025-04 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In Brownian SYK models, operator size under the bath-traced Lindblad definition shows a scrambling signature only for intra-system interactions, with the same early-time critical point as the full-contour definition, ...

  5. Scrambling Enabled Entropy Accumulation in Open Quantum Systems

    quant-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A weak probe coupled to an open quantum system accumulates a finite Rényi entropy increase only when the system is in the scrambling phase, vanishing in the dissipative phase as the probe coupling goes to zero.

  6. Generalized Clausius inequalities and entanglement production in holographic two-dimensional CFTs

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In holographic 2D CFTs, the quantum null energy condition bounds entropy production in quenches between thermal states with momentum, giving generalized Clausius inequalities and exact entanglement growth laws.
