Partial multipartite entanglement in the matrix product state formalism

Abstract

We present a method to apply the well-known matrix product state formalism to partially separable states in solid-state systems. The computational effort of our method is equal to the effort of the standard density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) algorithm. Consequently, it is applicable to all the usually considered condensed-matter systems where the DMRG algorithm is successful. We also show in exemplary cases that polymerization properties of ground states are closely connected to properties of partial separability, even if the ground state itself is not partially separable.

Symmetrizing the constraints: Density matrix renormalization group for constrained lattice models

Ting-Tung Wang, Xiaoxue Ran, Zi Yang Meng

We develop a density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) algorithm for constrained quantum lattice models that successfully {\it{implements the local constraints as symmetries in the contraction of the matrix product states and matrix product operators}}. Such an implementation allows us to investigate a quantum dimer model in DMRG for any lattice geometry wrapped around a cylinder with substantial circumference. We have thence computed the ground state phase diagram of the quantum dimer model on triangular lattice, with the symmetry-breaking characteristics of the columnar solid phase and $\sqrt{12}\times\sqrt{12}$ valence bond solid phase fully captured, as well as the topological entanglement entropy of the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ quantum spin liquid phase that extends to the RK point on non-bipartite lattice accurately revealed. Our DMRG algorithm on constrained quantum lattice models opens new opportunities for matrix and tensor-based algorithms for these systems that have immediate relevance towards the frustrated quantum magnets and synthetic quantum simulators.

Density matrix renormalization group algorithm for mixed quantum states

Chu Guo

Density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) algorithm has been extremely successful for computing the ground states of one-dimensional quantum many-body systems. For problems concerned with mixed quantum states, however, it is less successful in that either such an algorithm does not exist yet or that it may return unphysical solutions. Here we propose a positive matrix product ansatz for mixed quantum states which preserves positivity by construction. More importantly, it allows one to build a DMRG algorithm which, the same as the standard DMRG for ground states, iteratively reduces the global optimization problem to local ones of the same type, with the energy converging monotonically in principle. This algorithm is applied for computing both the equilibrium states and the nonequilibrium steady states and its advantages are numerically demonstrated.

Parent Hamiltonian for fully augmented matrix product states

Xiangjian Qian, Mingpu Qin

Density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) or matrix product states (MPS) is the most effective and accurate method for studying one-dimensional quantum many-body systems. However, the application of DMRG to two-dimensional systems is not as successful because of the limited entanglement encoded in the wave-function ansatz. The fully augmented matrix product states (FAMPS), introduced recently in [Chin. Phys. Lett. 40, 057102 (2023)], extends MPS formalism to two dimensions and increases the entanglement in the wave-function ansatz, representing a significant advance in the simulation of two-dimensional quantum many-body physics. In the study of one-dimensional systems, the concept of a parent Hamiltonian for MPS has proven pivotal in the understanding of quantum entanglement. In this work, we extend this framework to two-dimensional systems. We illustrate the procedure to construct a two-dimensional Hamiltonian with given FAMPS as its exact ground state (the parent Hamiltonian for FAMPS). Additionally, through numerical simulations, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the algorithm outlined in [Chin. Phys. Lett. 40, 057102 (2023)] in precisely identifying the FAMPS for the constructed parent Hamiltonian. The introduction of FAMPS and its associated parent Hamiltonian provides a useful framework for the future investigations of two-dimensional quantum many-body systems.

Density Matrix Renormalization Group for Continuous Quantum Systems

Shovan Dutta, Anton S. Buyskikh, Andrew J. Daley +1 more

We introduce a versatile and practical framework for applying matrix product state techniques to continuous quantum systems. We divide space into multiple segments and generate continuous basis functions for the many-body state in each segment. By combining this mapping with existing numerical density matrix renormalization group routines, we show how one can accurately obtain the ground-state wave function, spatial correlations, and spatial entanglement entropy directly in the continuum. For a prototypical mesoscopic system of strongly interacting bosons we demonstrate faster convergence than standard grid-based discretization. We illustrate the power of our approach by studying a superfluid-insulator transition in an external potential. We outline how one can directly apply or generalize this technique to a wide variety of experimentally relevant problems across condensed matter physics and quantum field theory.

Scaling up the transcorrelated density matrix renormalization group

Benjamin C. Corbett, Akimasa Miyake

Explicitly correlated methods, such as the transcorrelated method which shifts a Jastrow or Gutzwiller correlator from the wave function to the Hamiltonian, are designed for high-accuracy calculations of electronic structures, but their application to larger systems has been hampered by the computational cost. We develop improved techniques for the transcorrelated density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG), in which the ground state of the transcorrelated Hamiltonian is represented as a matrix product state (MPS), and demonstrate large-scale calculations of the ground-state energy of the two-dimensional Fermi-Hubbard model. Our developments stem from three technical inventions: (i) constructing matrix product operators (MPOs) of transcorrelated Hamiltonians with low bond dimension and high sparsity, (ii) exploiting the entanglement structure of the ground states to increase the accuracy of the MPS representation, and (iii) optimizing the nonlinear parameter of the Gutzwiller correlator to mitigate the nonvariational nature of the transcorrelated method. We examine systems of size up to $12\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}12$ lattice sites, four times larger than previous transcorrelated DMRG studies, and demonstrate that transcorrelated DMRG yields significant improvements over standard nontranscorrelated DMRG for equivalent computational effort. Transcorrelated DMRG reduces the error of the ground-state energy by $2.4\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}$--$14\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}$, with the smallest improvement seen for a small system at half filling and the largest improvement in a dilute closed-shell system.

Detecting and localizing multipartite entanglement by two-partite methods

Roman Gielerak, Marek Sawerwain

A notion of partial entanglement in multipartite systems is discussed. Some algorithms for detecting and localizing the introduced partial entanglement in general multipartite quantum states are presented. The main feature of the methods presented is that they are exclusively based on two-partite methods.
