In the first part, we investigate the effect of long range particle exchange in ideal bosonic chains. We establish that by using the Heisenberg formalism along with matrix product state representation we can study the evolution as well as the ground state of bosonic arrangements while including terms beyond next-neighbour hopping. The method is then applied to analyse the quench dynamics of condensates in a trapping potential and also to study the emergence of entanglement as a result of collision in boson chains. In the second part, we study the ground state as well as the dynamics of 1D boson arrangements with local repulsive interactions and nearest-neighbour exchange using numerical techniques based on time evolving block decimation (TEBD). We focus on the development of quantum correlations between the terminal places of these arrangements. We find that long-range entanglement in the ground state arises as a result of intense boson tunnelling taking place across the whole chain in systems with appropriate hopping coefficients. Additionally, we identify the perturbations necessary to increase the entanglement between the end sites above their ground state values. In the final part, we study the wave function of a kicked condensate using a perturbative approach and compare the results obtained in this way with numerical simulations.
We study the ground state as well as the dynamics of chains of bosons with local repulsive interactions and nearest-neighbor exchange using numerical techniques based on density-matrix decimation. We explore the development of entanglement between the terminal sites of such chains as mechanisms are invoked to concentrate population in these sites. We find that long-range entanglement in the ground state emerges as a result of transfer taking place throughout the chain in systems with appropriate hopping coefficients. Additionally, we find appropriate perturbations to increase the entanglement between the end sites above their ground-state values.
The entanglement area law is a universal principle that characterizes quantum many-body phases and underpins tensor network algorithms. Traditionally, its validity has been limited to systems with short-range interactions and bounded local energy. Achieving a complete generalization that removes both of these constraints has been a longstanding goal in quantum many-body theory, especially for interacting boson systems where unbounded energy presents intrinsic difficulties. In this work, we rigorously prove the area law for one-dimensional interacting boson systems with long-range interactions, covering broad models including the Bose-Hubbard and ϕ4 classes. Furthermore, we establish an efficiency guarantee for Matrix-Product-State approximations of the ground states, offering a practical route to numerical simulation. One of our main technical contributions is a general method for Hilbert space dimension reduction, whose applicability extends to arbitrary spatial dimensions. These results address two major challenges simultaneously and provide important foundations for simulating long-range cold atomic systems. Entanglement area law has been established in systems with short range interactions and bounded local energy. Here the authors extend the proof to 1D bosonic systems with long-range interactions and unbounded local energy and outline implications for matrix product state approximations of the ground states.
In this paper, we study global quantum discord (GQD) in infinite-size spin chains. For this purpose, in the framework of matrix product states (MPSs), we propose an effective procedure to calculate GQD (denoted as Gn) for consecutive n-site subchains in infinite chains. For a spin-1/2 three-body interaction model, whose ground state can be exactly expressed as MPSs, We use the procedure to study Gn with n up to
24. Then for a spin-1/2 XXZ chain, we firstly use infinite time-evolving block decimation (iTEBD) algorithm to obtain the approximate wavefunction in the from of MPSs, and then figure out Gn with n up to
18. In both models, Gn shows an interesting linear growth as the increase of n, that is, Gn = k*n+b. Moreover, in non-critical regions the slope
k of Gn converges very fast, while in critical regions it converges relatively slow, and the behaviors are explained in a clear physical picture with the short-range and long-range correlations. Based on these results, we propose to use Gn/n to describe the global correlations in infinite chains. Gn/n has twofold physical meanings. Firstly, it can be regarded as "global discord per site", very similar to "energy per site" or "magnetization per site" in quantum magnetic systems. Secondly, Gn/n (when n is large enough) describes the quantum correlation between a single site and an (n-1)-site block. Then we successfully apply our theory to an exactly soluble infinite-size spin XY chain which is beyond the matrix product formula, and the Hamiltonian can reduce to the transverse-field Ising model and the XX model. The relation between GQD and quantum phase transitions in these models is discussed.
Abstract We investigate the symmetry resolution of entanglement in the presence of long-range couplings. To this end, we study the symmetry-resolved entanglement entropy in the ground state of a fermionic chain that has dimerised long-range hoppings with power-like decaying amplitude—a long-range generalisation of the Su–Schrieffer–Heeger model. This is a system that preserves the number of particles. The entropy of each symmetry sector is calculated via the charged moments of the reduced density matrix. We exploit some recent results on block Toeplitz determinants generated by a discontinuous symbol to obtain analytically the asymptotic behaviour of the charged moments and of the symmetry-resolved entropies for a large subsystem. At leading order we find entanglement equipartition, but comparing with the short-range counterpart its breaking occurs at a different order and it does depend on the hopping amplitudes.
