I study the statistical description of a small quantum system, which is coupled to a large quantum environment in a generic form and with a generic interaction strength, when the total system lies in an equilibrium state described by a microcanonical ensemble. The focus is on the difference between the reduced density matrix (RDM) of the central system in this interacting case and the RDM obtained in the uncoupled case. In the eigenbasis of the central systems Hamiltonian, it is shown that the difference between diagonal elements is mainly confined by the ratio of the maximum width of the eigenfunctions of the total system in the uncoupled basis to the width of the microcanonical energy shell; meanwhile, the difference between off-diagonal elements is given by the ratio of certain property of the interaction Hamiltonian to the related level spacing of the central system. As an application, a sufficient condition is given, under which the RDM may have a canonical Gibbs form under system-environment interactions that are not necessarily weak; this Gibbs state usually includes certain averaged effect of the interaction. For central systems that interact locally with many-body quantum chaotic systems, it is shown that the RDM usually has a Gibbs form. I also study the RDM which is computed from a typical state of the total system within an energy shell.

Using parallels with the quantum scattering theory, developed for processes in nuclear and mesoscopic physics and quantum chaos, we construct a reduced Google matrix $G_R$ which describes the properties and interactions of a certain subset of selecte
d nodes belonging to a much larger directed network. The matrix $G_R$ takes into account effective interactions between subset nodes by all their indirect links via the whole network. We argue that this approach gives new possibilities to analyze effective interactions in a group of nodes embedded in a large directed networks. Possible efficient numerical methods for the practical computation of $G_R$ are also described.
We probe the theoretical connection among three different approaches to analyze the entanglement of identical particles, i.e., the first quantization language (1QL), elementary-symmetric/exterior products (which has the mathematical equivalence to no
-labeling approaches), and the algebraic approach based on the GNS construction. Among several methods to quantify the entanglement of identical particles, we focus on the computation of reduced density matrices, which can be achieved by the concept of emph{symmetrized partial trace} defined in 1QL. We show that the symmetrized partial trace corresponds to the interior product in symmetric and exterior algebra (SEA), which also corresponds to the subalgebra restriction in the algebraic approach based on GNS representation. Our research bridges different viewpoints for understanding the quantum correlation of identical particles in a consistent manner.
Decoherence is believed to deteriorate the ability of a purification scheme that is based on the idea of driving a system to a pure state by repeatedly measuring another system in interaction with the former and hinder for a pure state to be extracte
d asymptotically. Nevertheless, we find a way out of this difficulty by deriving an analytic expression of the reduced density matrix for a two-qubit system immersed in a bath. It is shown that we can still extract a pure state if the environment brings about only dephasing effects. In addition, for a dissipative environment, there is a possibility of obtaining a dominant pure state when we perform a finite number of measurements.
Based on a generalization of Hohenberg-Kohns theorem, we propose a ground state theory for bosonic quantum systems. Since it involves the one-particle reduced density matrix $gamma$ as a natural variable but still recovers quantum correlations in an
exact way it is particularly well-suited for the accurate description of Bose-Einstein condensates. As a proof of principle we study the building block of optical lattices. The solution of the underlying $v$-representability problem is found and its peculiar form identifies the constrained search formalism as the ideal starting point for constructing accurate functional approximations: The exact functionals for this $N$-boson Hubbard dimer and general Bogoliubov-approximated systems are determined. The respective gradient forces are found to diverge in the regime of Bose-Einstein condensation, $ abla_{gamma} mathcal{F} propto 1/sqrt{1-N_{mathrm{BEC}}/N}$, providing a natural explanation for the absence of complete BEC in nature.
Dynamical quantum phase transitions (DQPTs) extend the concept of phase transitions and thus universality to the non-equilibrium regime. In this letter, we investigate DQPTs in a string of ions simulating interacting transverse-field Ising models. We
observe non-equilibrium dynamics induced by a quantum quench and show for strings of up to 10 ions the direct detection of DQPTs by measuring a quantity that becomes non-analytic in time in the thermodynamic limit. Moreover, we provide a link between DQPTs and the dynamics of other relevant quantities such as the magnetization, and we establish a connection between DQPTs and entanglement production.
