Quantum non-Abelian Potts model and its exact solution

Abstract

We generalize the classical one-dimensional Potts model to the case where the symmetry group is a non-Abelian finite group. It turns out that this model has a quantum nature in that its spectrum of energy eigenstates consists of entangled states. We determine the complete energy spectrum, i.e., the ground states and all the excited states with their degeneracy structure. We calculate the partition function by two different algebraic and combinatorial methods. We also determine the entanglement properties of its ground states.

Entanglement spectrum of non-Abelian anyons

Ying-Hai Wu

Non-Abelian anyons can emerge as fractionalized excitations in two-dimensional systems with topological order. One important example is the Moore–Read fractional quantum Hall state. Its quasihole states are zero-energy eigenstates of a parent Hamiltonian, but its quasiparticle states are not. Both of them can be modeled on an equal footing using the bipartite composite fermion method. We study the entanglement spectrum of the cases with two or four non-Abelian anyons. The counting of levels in the entanglement spectrum can be understood using the edge theory of the Moore–Read state, which reflects the topological order of the system. It is shown that the fusion results of two non-Abelian anyons is determined by their distributions in the bipartite construction.

Entanglement spectroscopy of non-Abelian anyons: Reading off quantum dimensions of individual anyons

Eyal Cornfeld, L. Aviad Landau, Kirill Shtengel +1 more

We study the entanglement spectrum of topological systems hosting non-Abelian anyons. Akin to energy levels of a Hamiltonian, the entanglement spectrum is composed of symmetry multiplets. We find that the ratio between different eigenvalues within one multiplet is universal and is determined by the anyonic quantum dimensions. This result is a consequence of the conservation of the total topological charge. For systems with non-Abelian topological order, this generalizes known degeneracies of the entanglement spectrum, which are hallmarks of topological states. Experimental detection of these entanglement spectrum signatures may become possible in Majorana wires using multicopy schemes, allowing the measurement of quantum entanglement and its symmetry resolution.

Heisenberg models and a particular isotropic model

Arjan J. van der Sijs

The Heisenberg model, a quantum-mechanical analogue of the Ising model, has a large ground-state degeneracy, due to the symmetry generated by the total spin. This symmetry is also responsible for degeneracies in the rest of the spectrum. We discuss the global structure of the spectrum of Heisenberg models with arbitrary couplings, using group-theoretical methods. The Hilbert space breaks up in blocks characterized by the quantum numbers of the total spin, S and M, and each block is shown to constitute the representation space of an explicitly given irreducible representation of the symmetric group ${\mathit{S}}_{\mathit{N}}$, consisting of permutations of the N spins in the system. In the second part of the paper we consider, as a concrete application, the model where each spin is coupled to all the other spins with equal strength. Its partition function is written as a single integral, elucidating its N dependence. This provides a useful framework for studying finite-size effects. We give explicit results for the heat capacity, revealing interesting behavior just around the phase transition.

Entanglement Spectroscopy of non-Abelian Anyons

We study the entanglement spectrum of topological systems hosting non-Abelian anyons. Similar to energy levels of a Hamiltonian, the entanglement spectrum is organized into symmetry multiplets. We find that the ratio between different eigenvalues within one multiplet is universal and is determined by the anyonic quantum dimensions. This result is a consequence of the conservation of the total topological charge. For systems with non-Abelian topological order, this generalizes known degeneracies of the entanglement spectrum, which are hallmarks of topological states. Experimental detection of these entanglement spectrum signatures may become possible using multi-copy schemes allowing to measure quantum entanglement and its symmetry-resolution. We discuss such a protocol explicitly in the context of Majorana wires.

Entanglement spectrum and symmetries in non-Hermitian fermionic non-interacting models

Loïc Herviou, Nicolas Regnault, Jens Hjorleifur Bardarson

We study the properties of the entanglement spectrum in gapped non-interacting non-Hermitian systems, and its relation to the topological properties of the system Hamiltonian. Two different families of entanglement Hamiltonians can be defined in non-Hermitian systems, depending on whether we consider only right (or equivalently only left) eigenstates or a combination of both left and right eigenstates. We show that their entanglement spectra can still be computed efficiently, as in the Hermitian limit. We discuss how symmetries of the Hamiltonian map into symmetries of the entanglement spectrum depending on the choice of the many-body state. Through several examples in one and two dimensions, we show that the biorthogonal entanglement Hamiltonian directly inherits the topological properties of the Hamiltonian for line gapped phases, with characteristic singular and energy zero modes. The right (left) density matrix carries distinct information on the topological properties of the many-body right (left) eigenstates themselves. In purely point gapped phases, when the energy bands are not separable, the relation between the entanglement Hamiltonian and the system Hamiltonian breaks down.
