Persistent Ballistic Entanglement Spreading with Optimal Control in Quantum Spin ChainsYing Lu, Pei Shi, Xiao-Han Wang et al.
Entanglement propagation provides a key routine to understand quantum many-body dynamics in and out of equilibrium. The entanglement entropy (EE) usually approaches to a sub-saturation known as the Page value $\tilde{S}_{P} =\tilde{S} - dS$ (with $\tilde{S}$ the maximum of EE and $dS$ the Page correction) in, e.g., the random unitary evolutions. The ballistic spreading of EE usually appears in the early time and will be deviated far before the Page value is reached. In this work, we uncover that the magnetic field that maximizes the EE robustly induces persistent ballistic spreading of entanglement in quantum spin chains. The linear growth of EE is demonstrated to persist till the maximal $\tilde{S}$ (along with a flat entanglement spectrum) is reached. The robustness of ballistic spreading and the enhancement of EE under such an optimal control are demonstrated, considering particularly perturbing the initial state by random pure states (RPS's). These are argued as the results from the endomorphism of the time evolution under such an entanglement-enhancing optimal control for the RPS's.

Deep Machine Learning Reconstructing Lattice Topology with Strong Thermal FluctuationsXiao-Han Wang, Pei Shi, Bin Xi et al.
Applying artificial intelligence to scientific problems (namely AI for science) is currently under hot debate. However, the scientific problems differ much from the conventional ones with images, texts, and etc., where new challenges emerges with the unbalanced scientific data and complicated effects from the physical setups. In this work, we demonstrate the validity of the deep convolutional neural network (CNN) on reconstructing the lattice topology (i.e., spin connectivities) in the presence of strong thermal fluctuations and unbalanced data. Taking the kinetic Ising model with Glauber dynamics as an example, the CNN maps the time-dependent local magnetic momenta (a single-node feature) evolved from a specific initial configuration (dubbed as an evolution instance) to the probabilities of the presences of the possible couplings. Our scheme distinguishes from the previous ones that might require the knowledge on the node dynamics, the responses from perturbations, or the evaluations of statistic quantities such as correlations or transfer entropy from many evolution instances. The fine tuning avoids the "barren plateau" caused by the strong thermal fluctuations at high temperatures. Accurate reconstructions can be made where the thermal fluctuations dominate over the correlations and consequently the statistic methods in general fail. Meanwhile, we unveil the generalization of CNN on dealing with the instances evolved from the unlearnt initial spin configurations and those with the unlearnt lattices. We raise an open question on the learning with unbalanced data in the nearly "double-exponentially" large sample space.
