Matrix product states with long-range localizable entanglement

Abstract

We derive a criterion to determine when a translationally invariant matrix product state (MPS) has long-range localizable entanglement, where that quantity remains finite in the thermodynamic limit. We give examples fulfilling this criterion and eventually use it to obtain all such MPS with bond dimension 2 and 3.

Matrix Product States: Entanglement, Symmetries, and State Transformations

David Sauerwein, András Molnár, J. I. Cirac +1 more

We analyze entanglement in the family of translationally invariant matrix product states (MPS). We give a criterion to determine when two states can be transformed into each other by local operations with a nonvanishing probability, a central question in entanglement theory. This induces a classification within this family of states, which we explicitly carry out for the simplest, nontrivial MPS. We also characterize all symmetries of translationally invariant MPS, both global and local (inhomogeneous). We illustrate our results with examples of states that are relevant in different physical contexts.

Geometric entanglement of one-dimensional systems: bounds and scalings in the thermodynamic limit

Román Orús, Tzu-Chieh Wei

In this paper the geometric entanglement (GE) of systems in one spatial dimension (1D) and in the thermodynamic limit is analyzed focusing on two aspects. First, we reexamine the calculation of the GE for translation-invariant matrix product states (MPSs) in the limit of infinite system size. We obtain a lower bound to the GE which collapses to an equality under certain sufficient conditions that are fulfilled by many physical systems, such as those having unbroken space (P) or space-time (PT) inversion symmetry. Our analysis justifies the validity of several derivations carried out in previous works. Second, we derive scaling laws for the GE per site of infinite-size 1D systems with correlation length $\xi \gg 1$. In the case of MPSs, we combine this with the theory of finite-entanglement scaling, allowing to understand the scaling of the GE per site with the MPS bond dimension at conformally invariant quantum critical points.

Entanglement in Gaussian matrix-product states

Gerardo Adesso, Marie Ericsson

Gaussian matrix-product states are obtained as the outputs of projection operations from an ancillary space of $M$ infinitely entangled bonds connecting neighboring sites, applied at each of $N$ sites of a harmonic chain. Replacing the projections by associated Gaussian states, the building blocks, we show that the entanglement range in translationally invariant Gaussian matrix-product states depends on how entangled the building blocks are. In particular, infinite entanglement in the building blocks produces fully symmetric Gaussian states with maximum entanglement range. From their peculiar properties of entanglement sharing, a basic difference with spin chains is revealed: Gaussian matrix-product states can possess unlimited, long-range entanglement even with minimum number of ancillary bonds $(M=1)$. Finally we discuss how these states can be experimentally engineered from $N$ copies of a three-mode building block and $N$ two-mode finitely squeezed states.

Symmetries and local transformations of translationally invariant matrix product states

Martin Hebenstreit, David Sauerwein, András Molnár +2 more

We determine the local symmetries and local transformation properties of certain many-body states called translationally invariant matrix product states (TIMPSs). We focus on physical dimension $d=2$ of the local Hilbert spaces and bond dimension $D=3$ and use the procedure introduced in Sauerwein et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 123, 170504 (2019)] to determine all (including nonglobal) symmetries of those states. We identify and classify the stochastic local operations assisted by classical communication (SLOCC) that are allowed among TIMPSs. We scrutinize two very distinct sets of TIMPSs and show the big diversity (also compared to the case $D=2$) occurring in both their symmetries and the possible SLOCC transformations. These results reflect the variety of local properties of MPSs, even if restricted to translationally invariant states with low bond dimension. Finally, we show that states with nontrivial local symmetries are of measure zero for $d=2$ and $D>3$.

Continuum limits of matrix product states

Gemma De las Cuevas, Norbert Schuch, David Pérez-Garcı́a +1 more

We determine which translationally invariant matrix product states have a continuum limit, that is, which can be considered as discretized versions of states defined in the continuum. To do this, we analyze a fine-graining renormalization procedure in real space, characterize the set of limiting states of its flow, and find that it strictly contains the set of continuous matrix product states. We also analyze which states have a continuum limit after a finite number of coarse-graining renormalization steps. We give several examples of states with and without the different kinds of continuum limits.

Extensive Rényi entropies in matrix product states

Alberto Rolandi, Henrik Wilming

We prove that all Rényi entanglement entropies of spin-chains described by generic (gapped), translational invariant matrix product states (MPS) are extensive for disconnected sub-systems: All Rényi entanglement entropy densities of the sub-system consisting of every k-th spin are non-zero in the thermodynamic limit if and only if the state does not converge to a product state in the thermodynamic limit. Furthermore, we provide explicit lower bounds to the entanglement entropy in terms of the expansion coefficient of the transfer operator of the MPS and spectral properties of its fixed point in canonical form. As side-result we obtain a lower bound for the expansion coefficient and singular value distribution of a primitve quantum channel in terms of its Kraus-rank and entropic properties of its fixed-point. For unital quantum channels this yields a very simple lower bound on the distribution of singular values and the expansion coefficient in terms of the Kraus-rank. Physically, our results are motivated by questions about equilibration in many-body localized systems, which we review.
