- Entanglement and its propagation are central to understanding a multitude of physical properties of quantum systems. Notably, within closed quantum many-body systems, entanglement is believed to yield emergent thermodynamic behavior. However, a universal understanding remains challenging due to the non-integrability and computational intractability of most large-scale quantum systems. Quantum hardware platforms provide a means to study the formation and scaling of entanglement in interacting many-body systems. Here, we use a controllable $4 \times 4$ array of superconducting qubits to emulate a two-dimensional hard-core Bose-Hubbard lattice. We generate superposition states by simultaneously driving all lattice sites and extract correlation lengths and entanglement entropy across its many-body energy spectrum. We observe volume-law entanglement scaling for states at the center of the spectrum and a crossover to the onset of area-law scaling near its edges.
