Nonlocality of mixtures of the ground and first excited states within J 1 − J 2 Heisenberg model

Jia Bao, Longhui Shen, Hongying Liu +2 more

We investigate both bipartite and multipartite nonlocality in theJ1-J2Heisenberg model. Bipartite nonlocality is measured by the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality, while multipartite nonlocality is explored through Bell-type inequalities. Our findings reveal that neither ground-state nor full thermal-state nonlocality reliably characterizes quantum phase transitions (QPTs). However, we uncover that the mixed-state nonlocality of the ground and first excited states exhibits distinctive characteristics applicable to both bipartite and multipartite scenarios. We also demonstrate how mixed-state quantum correlation behaviors depend on varying temperature regimes. In the bipartite case, we observe a phenomenon known as 'correlation reversal' with increasing temperature, a previously unreported occurrence in other models. For the multipartite case, the ability to signify phase transitions is significantly enhanced as the temperature rises. Furthermore, we discover a linear scaling effect that provides valuable insights for extrapolating QPTs in the thermodynamic limit asN→∞. Additionally, we identify the critical temperature at which mixed-state nonlocality becomes a reliable indicator of phase transitions.

Multipartite nonlocality spectrum and quantum criticality in the one-dimensional infinite quantum model

Jia Bao, Bin Guo, S. Q. Qu +2 more

Based on transfer matrix theory and the multipartite nonlocality spectrum [Formula: see text], we systematically investigate ground-state nonlocal correlations across three canonical infinite, translation-invariant one-dimensional spin models, including the XXZ model, the three-body coupled Cluster–Ising model, and the Kitaev ladder model, which cover both conventional and topological Quantum Phase Transitions (QPTs). We show that the emergence of multipartite nonlocal correlations can be quantitatively determined via the leading eigenvalue criterion [Formula: see text], offering a concise and reliable indicator for diagnosing nonlocal quantum features. Further numerical comparisons reveal that the leading eigenvalue [Formula: see text] is strongly model-dependent and lacks universal applicability for identifying quantum critical behaviors across different QPT types. In contrast, the nonlocality spectral gap [Formula: see text] exhibits prominent robustness against variations in system symmetry, coupling strength, and intrinsic transition mechanisms. It characterizes quantum criticality through three distinct response modes, thereby enabling a unified description of both conventional and topological QPTs. This work establishes the nonlocality spectrum as a versatile and powerful framework for the joint characterization of multipartite nonlocality and quantum criticality in one-dimensional many-body quantum systems.

Bell Function Values Approach to Topological Quantum Phase Transitions

Dong-Ling Deng, Chunfeng Wu, Jing‐Ling Chen +3 more

We investigate the relation between Bell function values (BFV) of the reduced density matrix and the topological quantum phase transitions in the Kitaev-Castelnovo-Chamon model. % [Phys. Rev. B \textbf{77}, %054433 (2008)]. We find that the first order derivative of BFV exhibits singular behavior at the critical point and we propose that it can serve as a good and convenient marker for the transition point. More interestingly, the value of the critical point can be analytically obtained in this approach. Since the BFV serves as a measure of nonlocality when it is greater than the classical bound of the correlation functions, our work has established a link between quantum nonlocality and phase transitions.
