Solvable entanglement dynamics in quantum circuits with generalized space-time duality by Chuan Liu, Wen Wei Ho

“…We identify a broad class of initial product states wherein the effect of the environment on a small subsystem can be exactly represented by influence matrices with simple Markovian structures, resulting in the subsystem's full dynamics being efficiently computable. We further find additional conditions under which the dynamics of entanglement can be solved for all times, yielding rich phenomenology ranging from linear growth at half the maximal speed allowed by locality, followed by saturation to maximum entropy (i.e., thermalization to infinite temperature), to entanglement growth with saturation to extensive but submaximal entropy. …”

Personalized Recommendation Model of High-Quality Education Resources for College Students Based on Data Mining by Chaohua Fang, Qiuyun Lu

“…Currently, most learner models generally have a lack of scientific focus that they have a single method of obtaining dimensions, feature attributes, and low computational complexity. These problems may lead to disagreement between the learner’s learning ability and the difficulty of the recommended learning resources and may lead to the cognitive overload or disorientation of learners in the learning process. …”
