Quantum Darwinism posits that information becomes objective whenever multiple observers indirectly probe a quantum system by each measuring a fraction of the environment. It was recently shown that objectivity of observables emerges generically from the mathematical structure of quantum mechanics, whenever the system of interest has finite dimensions and the number of environment fragments is large [F. G. S. L. Brand~ao, M. Piani, and P. Horodecki, Nature Commun. 6, 7908 (2015)]. Despite the importance of this result, it necessarily excludes many practical systems of interest that are infinite-dimensional, including harmonic oscillators. Extending the study of Quantum Darwinism to infinite dimensions is a nontrivial task: we tackle it here by using a modified diamond norm, suitable to quantify the distinguishability of channels in infinite dimensions. We prove two theorems that bound the emergence of objectivity, first for finite energy systems, and then for systems that can only be prepared in states with an exponential energy cut-off. We show that the latter class of states includes any bounded-energy subset of single-mode Gaussian states.

We implement a dynamical resummation method (DRM) as an extension of the dynamical renormalization group to study the time evolution of infrared dressing in non-gauge theories. Super renormalizable and renormalizable models feature infrared divergenc es similar to those of a theory at a critical point, motivating a renormalization group improvement of the propagator that yields a power law decay of the survival probability $propto t^{-Delta}$. The (DRM) confirms this decay, yields the dressed state and determines that the anomalous dimension $Delta$ is completely determined by the slope of the spectral density at threshold independent of the ultraviolet behavior, suggesting certain universality for infrared phenomena. The dressed state is an entangled state of the charged and massless quanta. The entanglement entropy is obtained by tracing over the unobserved massless quanta. Its time evolution is determined by the (DRM), it is infrared finite and describes the information flow from the initial single particle to the asymptotic multiparticle dressed state. We show that effective field theories of massless axion-like particles coupled to fermion fields do not feature infrared divergences, and provide a criterion for infrared divergences in effective field theories valid for non-gauge theories up to one loop.

The relation between manifold topology, observables and gauge group is clarified on the basis of the classification of the representations of the algebra of observables associated to positions and displacements on the manifold. The guiding, physicall y motivated, principles are i) locality, i.e. the generating role of the algebras localized in small, topological trivial, regions, ii) diffeomorphism covariance, which guarantees the intrinsic character of the analysis, iii) the exclusion of additional local degrees of freedom with respect to the Schroedinger representation. The locally normal representations of the resulting observable algebra are classified by unitary representations of the fundamental group of the manifold, which actually generate an observable, topological, subalgebra. The result is confronted with the standard approach based on the introduction of the universal covering ${tilde{cal M}}$ of $cal{M}$ and on the decomposition of $L^2({tilde{cal M}})$ according to the spectrum of the fundamental group, which plays the role of a gauge group. It is shown that in this way one obtains all the representations of the observables iff the fundamental group is amenable. The implications on the observability of the Permutation Group in Particle Statistics are discussed.

The spectral problem for O(D) symmetric polynomial potentials allows for a partial algebraic solution after analytical continuation to negative even dimensions D. This fact is closely related to the disappearance of the factorial growth of large orde rs of the perturbation theory at negative even D. As a consequence, certain quantities constructed from the perturbative coefficients exhibit fast inverse factorial convergence to the asymptotic values in the limit of large orders. This quantum mechanical construction can be generalized to the case of quantum field theory.
The multiscale entanglement renormalization ansatz describes quantum many-body states by a hierarchical entanglement structure organized by length scale. Numerically, it has been demonstrated to capture critical lattice models and the data of the cor responding conformal field theories with high accuracy. However, a rigorous understanding of its success and precise relation to the continuum is still lacking. To address this challenge, we provide an explicit construction of entanglement-renormalization quantum circuits that rigorously approximate correlation functions of the massless Dirac conformal field theory. We directly target the continuum theory: discreteness is introduced by our choice of how to probe the system, not by any underlying short-distance lattice regulator. To achieve this, we use multiresolution analysis from wavelet theory to obtain an approximation scheme and to implement entanglement renormalization in a natural way. This could be a starting point for constructing quantum circuit approximations for more general conformal field theories.
Observable currents are locally defined gauge invariant conserved currents; physical observables may be calculated integrating them on appropriate hypersurfaces. Due to the conservation law the hypersurfaces become irrelevant up to homology, and the main objects of interest become the observable currents them selves. Gauge inequivalent solutions can be distinguished by means of observable currents. With the aim of modeling spacetime local physics, we work on spacetime domains $Usubset M$ which may have boundaries and corners. Hamiltonian observable currents are those satisfying ${sf d_v}F=-iota_VOmega_L+{sf d_h}sigma^F$ and a certain boundary condition. The family of Hamiltonian observable currents is endowed with a bracket that gives it a structure which generalizes a Lie algebra in which the Jacobi relation is modified by the presence of a boundary term. If the domain of interest has no boundaries the resulting algebra of observables is a Lie algebra. In the resulting framework algebras of observable currents are associated to bounded domains, and the local algebras obey interesting gluing properties. These results are due to considering currents that defined only locally in field space and to a revision of the concept of gauge invariance in bounded spacetime domains. A perturbation of the field on a bounded spacetime domain is regarded as gauge if: (i) the first order holographic imprint that it leaves in any hypersurface locally splitting a spacetime domain into two subdomains is negligible according to the linearized gluing field equation, and (ii) the perturbation vanishes at the boundary of the domain. A current is gauge invariant if the variation in them induced by any gauge perturbation vanishes up to boundary terms.
