Entanglement membrane in exactly solvable lattice models
Entanglement membrane theory is an effective coarse-grained description of entanglement dynamics and operator growth in chaotic quantum many-body systems. The fundamental quantity characterizing the membrane is the entanglement line tension. However, determining the entanglement line tension for microscopic models is in general exponentially difficult.
Dual unitaries as maximizers of the distance to local product gates
The problem of finding the resource-free, closest local unitary, to any bipartite unitary gate U is addressed. Previously discussed as a measure of nonlocality, the distance KD(U) to the nearest product unitary has implications for circuit complexity and related quantities. Dual unitaries, currently of great interest in models of complex quantum many-body systems, are shown to have a preferred role as these are maximally and equally away from the set of local unitaries.
Absolutely maximally entangled state equivalence and the construction of infinite quantum solutions to the problem of 36 officers of Euler
Ordering and classifying multipartite quantum states by their entanglement content remains an open problem. One class of highly entangled states, useful in quantum information protocols, the absolutely maximally entangled (AME) ones, are especially hard to compare as all their subsystems are maximally random. While it is well known that there is no AME state of four qubits, many analytical examples and numerically generated ensembles of four-qutrit AME states are known.
Construction and Local Equivalence of Dual-Unitary Operators: From Dynamical Maps to Quantum Combinatorial Designs
Abstract While quantum circuits built from two-particle dual-unitary (maximally entangled) operators serve as minimal models of typically nonintegrable many-body systems, the construction and characterization of dual-unitary operators themselves are only partially understood. A nonlinear map on the space of unitary operators has been proposed in Phys. Rev. Lett. 125, 070501 (2020) that results in operators being arbitrarily close to dual unitaries.

Thirty-six Entangled Officers of Euler: Quantum Solution to a Classically Impossible Problem
Abstract The negative solution to the famous problem of 36 officers of Euler implies that there are no two orthogonal Latin squares of order six. We show that the problem has a solution, provided the officers are entangled, and construct orthogonal quantum Latin squares of this size.
