Abstract

We have investigated the quantum phase transition employing the quantum renormalization-group method while, in most of the previous literature, entanglement (concurrence) has been barely demonstrated. However, it is now well known that entanglement is not the only signature of quantum correlations and a variety of computable measures have been developed to characterize quantum correlations in the composite systems. As an illustration, two cases are elaborated: a one-dimensional anisotropic (i) $XXZ$ model and (ii) an $XY$ model, with various measures of quantum correlations, including quantum discord, geometric discord, measurement-induced disturbance, measurement-induced nonlocality, and violation of Bell inequalities [e.g., Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality]. We have proved that all of these correlation measures can effectively detect the quantum critical points associated with quantum phase transitions after several iterations of the renormalization in both cases. Nonetheless, it is shown that some of their dynamical behaviors are not totally similar with entanglement and, even when concurrence vanishes, there still exists some kind of quantum correlation which is not captured by entanglement. Intriguingly, CHSH inequality can never be violated in the whole iteration procedure, which indicates that block-block entanglement cannot revealed by the CHSH inequality. Moreover, the nonanalytic and scaling behaviors of Bell violation have also been discussed in detail. As a by-product, we verify that measurement-induced disturbance is exactly equal to the quantum discord measured by ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{z}$ for general $\mathsf{X}$-structured states.

Monogamy quantum correlation near the quantum phase transitions in the two-dimensionalXYspin systems

Meng Qin, Zhongzhou Ren, Xin Zhang

We investigate the role of quantum correlation around the quantum phase transitions by using quantum renormalization group theory. Numerical analysis indicates that quantum correlation as well as quantum nonlocality can efficiently detect the quantum critical point in the two-dimensional XY systems. The nonanalytic behavior of the first derivative of quantum correlation is observed at the critical point as the size of the model increases. Furthermore, we discuss the quantum correlation distribution in this system based on the square of concurrence (SC) and square of quantum discord (SQD). The monogamous properties of SC and SQD are obtained. Particularly, we prove that the quantum critical point can also be achieved by monogamy score.

Entanglement and quantum phase transition in the one-dimensional anisotropic XY model

Fu-Wu Ma, Sheng-Xin Liu, Xiang-Mu Kong

In this paper the entanglement and quantum phase transition of the anisotropic spin-$1/2$ $\mathit{XY}$ model are studied by using the quantum renormalization-group method. By solving the renormalization equations, we get the trivial and nontrivial fixed points, which correspond to the phase of the system and the critical point, respectively. The concurrence between two blocks are calculated and it is found that when the number of iterations of the renormalization tends to infinity, the concurrence develops two saturated values that are associated with two different phases, i.e., Ising-like and spin-fluid phases. We also investigate the first derivative of the concurrence and find that there exists nonanalytic behaviors at the quantum critical point, which are directly associated with the divergence of the correlation length. To gain further insight, the scaling behaviors of the system are analyzed and it is shown that the maximum value of the first derivative of the concurrence reaches infinity and the critical point is approached as the size of the system increases.

Bell nonlocality in conventional and topological quantum phase transitions

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

We investigate the critical behaviors of the Bell nonlocality, which are measured by the Bell-function values, in conventional and topological quantum-phase transitions. First, by using the quantum-renormalization-group method, we show that the Bell function value of a three-qubit Bell inequality in the anisotropic spin-$1/2$ $XY$ model exhibits singular behaviors at the critical point. Moreover, for topological quantum-phase transitions, we find that the first-order derivative of the Bell-function value of the well-known Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality in the Kitaev-Castelnovo-Chamon model behaves singularly at the topological-phase-transition point. Our results have established a link between quantum nonlocality and phase transitions.

Scaling of quantum correlation and monogamy relation near a quantum phase transitions in two-dimensional XY spin system

Qin, Meng, Zhongzhou Ren, Zhang, Xin

The purpose of the paper is mainly to investigate the quantum critical behavior of two-dimensional XY spin system by calculating quantum correlation and monogamy relation through implementation of quantum renormalization group theory. Numerical analysis indicates that quantum correlation as well as quantum nonlocality can be used to efficiently detect the quantum critical property in two-dimensional XY spin system. The nonanalytic behavior of the first derivative of quantum correlation approaches infinity and the critical point is reached as the size of the model increases. Furthermore, we discuss the quantum correlation distribution in this model based on square of concurrence (SC) and square of quantum discord (SQD). The monogamous properties of SC and SQD are obtained for the present system. We finally reveal that the monogamy score can be used to capture the quantum critical point.

Quantum correlation with sandwiched relative entropies: Advantageous as order parameter in quantum phase transitions

Avijit Misra, Anindya Biswas, Arun Kumar Pati +2 more

Quantum discord is a measure of quantum correlations beyond the entanglement-separability paradigm. It is conceptualized by using the von Neumann entropy as a measure of disorder. We introduce a class of quantum correlation measures as differences between total and classical correlations, in a shared quantum state, in terms of the sandwiched relative Rényi and Tsallis entropies. We compare our results with those obtained by using the traditional relative entropies. We find that the measures satisfy all the plausible axioms for quantum correlations. We evaluate the measures for shared pure as well as paradigmatic classes of mixed states. We show that the measures can faithfully detect the quantum critical point in the transverse quantum Ising model and find that they can be used to remove an unquieting feature of nearest-neighbor quantum discord in this respect. Furthermore, the measures provide better finite-size scaling exponents of the quantum critical point than the ones for other known order parameters, including entanglement and information-theoretic measures of quantum correlations.

Remarks on the Bell-Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality

Silvio Paolo sorella

We discuss the relationship between the Bogoliubov transformations, squeezed states, entanglement, and maximum violation of the Bell-Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (Bell-CHSH) inequality. In particular, we point out that the construction of the four bounded operators entering the Bell-CHSH inequality can be worked out in a simple and general way, covering a large variety of models, ranging from quantum mechanism to relativistic quantum field theories. Various examples are employed to illustrate the above mentioned framework. We start by considering a pair of entangled spin-one particles and a squeezed oscillator in quantum mechanics, moving then to the relativistic complex quantum scalar field and to the analysis of the vacuum state in Minkowski space-time in terms of the left and right Rindler modes. In the latter case, the Bell-CHSH inequality turns out to be parametrized by the Unruh temperature.
