Summary

On IBM hardware, two entropy diagnostics tracked noiseless predictions while concurrence was suppressed by noise.

In stochastic-reset steady states, the difference between trajectory-resolved and averaged entanglement entropy equals the information a subsystem retains about time since reset. Hardware measurements followed entropy predictions without fitted parameters; a one-parameter depolarizing model captured most concurrence suppression.

Why it matters

On IBM hardware, two entropy diagnostics tracked noiseless predictions while concurrence was suppressed by noise.

Limits and context
