Information Geometry in Time Dependent Quantum Systems and the Geometric Phase

Abstract

We study information theoretic geometry in time dependent quantum mechanical systems. First, we discuss global properties of the parameter manifold for two level systems exemplified by i) Rabi oscillations and ii) quenching dynamics of the XY spin chain in a transverse magnetic field, when driven across anisotropic criticality. Next, we comment upon the nature of the geometric phase from classical holonomy analyses of such parameter manifolds. In the context of the transverse XY model in the thermodynamic limit, our results are in contradiction to those in the existing literature, and we argue why the issue deserves a more careful analysis. Finally, we speculate on a novel geometric phase in the model, when driven across a quantum critical line.

Quantum phase transitions in transverse field spin models: from statistical physics to quantum information

Amit Dutta, G. Aeppli, Bikas K. Chakrabarti +3 more

We review quantum phase transitions of spin systems in transverse magnetic fields taking the examples of the spin-1/2 Ising and XY models in a transverse field. Beginning with an overview of quantum phase transitions, we introduce a number of model Hamiltonians. We provide exact solutions in one spatial dimension connecting them to conformal field theoretical studies. We also discuss Kitaev models and some other exactly solvable spin systems. Studies of quantum phase transitions in the presence of quenched randomness and with frustrating interactions are presented in detail. We discuss novel phenomena like Griffiths-McCoy singularities. We then turn to more recent topics like information theoretic measures of the quantum phase transitions in these models such as concurrence, entanglement entropy, quantum discord and quantum fidelity. We then focus on non-equilibrium dynamics of a variety of transverse field systems across quantum critical points and lines. After mentioning rapid quenching studies, we dwell on slow dynamics and discuss the Kibble-Zurek scaling for the defect density following a quench across critical points and its modifications for quenching across critical lines, gapless regions and multicritical points. Topics like the role of different quenching schemes, local quenching, quenching of models with random interactions and quenching of a spin chain coupled to a heat bath are touched upon. The connection between non-equilibrium dynamics and quantum information theoretic measures is presented at some length. We indicate the connection between Kibble-Zurek scaling and adiabatic evolution of a state as well as the application of adiabatic dynamics as a tool of a quantum optimization technique known as quantum annealing. The final section is dedicated to a detailed discussion on recent experimental studies of transverse Ising-like systems.

Geometric Phase Contribution to Quantum Nonequilibrium Many-Body Dynamics

Michael Tomka, Anatoli Polkovnikov, Vladimir Gritsev

We study the influence of geometry of quantum systems underlying space of states on its quantum many-body dynamics. We observe an interplay between dynamical and topological ingredients of quantum nonequilibrium dynamics revealed by the geometrical structure of the quantum space of states. As a primary example we use the anisotropic XY ring in a transverse magnetic field with an additional time-dependent flux. In particular, if the flux insertion is slow, nonadiabatic transitions in the dynamics are dominated by the dynamical phase. In the opposite limit geometric phase strongly affects transition probabilities. This interplay can lead to a nonequilibrium phase transition between these two regimes. We also analyze the effect of geometric phase on defect generation during crossing a quantum-critical point.

Complexity and information geometry in the transverse XY model

Nitesh Jaiswal, Mamta Gautam, Tapobrata Sarkar

We study Nielsen complexity and Fubini-Study complexity for the transverse XY spin chain and establish their nonanalyticity at the critical lines. We obtain the scaling behavior of both complexities near quantum phase transitions in the thermodynamic limit, as a function of the system parameters. The scaling of the Nielsen complexity with the system size is also established, close to criticality. We also obtain analytic expressions for the Fubini-Study complexity in some special cases for this model, while a numerical analysis in more generic situations is carried out. Our study clearly demonstrates the differences in the two notions of complexity in the transverse XY model.

Geometric Phases and Criticality in Spin-Chain Systems

Angelo C. M. Carollo, Jiannis K. Pachos

A relation between geometric phases and criticality of spin chains is established. As a result, we show how geometric phases can be exploited as a tool to detect regions of criticality without having to undergo a quantum phase transition. We analytically evaluate the geometric phase that corresponds to the ground and excited states of the anisotropic XY model in the presence of a transverse magnetic field when the direction of the anisotropy is adiabatically rotated. It is demonstrated that the resulting phase is resilient against the main sources of errors. A physical realization with ultracold atoms in optical lattices is presented.

Complexity, information geometry, and Loschmidt echo near quantum criticality

Nitesh Jaiswal, Mamta Gautam, Tapobrata Sarkar

Abstract We consider the Nielsen complexity (NC) C N , the Loschmidt echo (LE) L , and the Fubini-study complexity τ in the transverse XY model, following a sudden quantum quench, in the thermodynamic limit. At small times, the first two are related by L ∼ e − C N . By computing a novel time-dependent quantum information metric, we show that in this regime, C N ∼ d τ 2 , up to lowest order in perturbation. The former relation continues to hold in the same limit at large times, whereas the latter does not. Our results indicate that in the thermodynamic limit, the NC and the LE show enhanced temporal oscillations when one quenches from a close neighbourhood of the critical line, while such oscillations are notably absent when the quench is on such a line. We explain this behaviour by studying the nature of quasi-particle excitations in the vicinity of criticality. Finally, we argue that the triangle inequality for the NC might be violated in certain regions of the parameter space, and point out why one should be careful about the nature of the interaction Hamiltonian, while using this measure.

Information geometry of non-equilibrium quantum states: Mixed metric structures on an extended information manifold

Kouji Kashiwa, Hidefumi Matsuda

We discuss an information-geometric framework for characterizing quantum states in non-equilibrium dynamics. Using the transverse-field Ising chain model as a laboratory, we investigate the quantum Fisher information metric with particular emphasis on the mixed metric component $g_{ht}$ and related geometric observables, where $h$ is a controllable post-quench Hamiltonian parameter and $t$ is real time. The framework treats $h$ and $t$ as coordinates of an extended information manifold $(h,t)$. The geometric observables characterize the speed of evolution on the manifold and the alignment between the temporal and parameter-deformation directions. Correlations between these geometric quantities and two widely used measures of non-equilibrium dynamics, the entanglement entropy and the Loschmidt echo, are analyzed.
