Abstract

We theoretically investigate the impact of the excited state quantum phase transition on the adiabatic dynamics for the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model. Using a time-dependent protocol, we continuously change a model parameter and then discuss the scaling properties of the system especially close to the excited state quantum phase transition where we find that these depend on the energy eigenstate. On top, we show that the mean-field dynamics with the time-dependent protocol gives the correct scaling and expectation values in the thermodynamic limit even for the excited states.

Excited-state quantum phase transitions and periodic dynamics

Georg Engelhardt, V. M. Bastidas, Wassilij Kopylov +1 more

We investigate signatures of the excited-state quantum phase transition in the periodic dynamics of the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model and the Tavis-Cummings model. In the thermodynamic limit, expectation values of observables in eigenstates of the system can be calculated using classical trajectories. Motivated by this, we suggest a method based on the time evolution of the finite-size system to find singularities in observables, which arise due to the excited-state quantum phase transition.

Signatures of the excited-state quantum phase transition in the periodic dynamics of the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model

Georg Engelhardt, V. M. Bastidas, Tobias Brandes

We investigate signatures of the excited-state quantum phase transition in the periodic dynamics of the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model. With this aim, we use the semiclassical trajectories to calculate quantum mechanical quantities such as the density of states and expectation values of observables in eigenstates of the system. Motivated by this approach, we suggest an experimental protocol, based on the time evolution of the finite-size system, to find singularities in observables, which arise due to the excited-state quantum phase transition. We also discuss the influence of the participation ratio on the deviations of the quantum mechanical finite-size time evolution from the classical one.

Excited-state quantum phase transitions in the anharmonic Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model: Static aspects

J. Gamito, Jamil Khalouf-Rivera, J. M. Arias +2 more

The basic Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model displays a second-order ground-state quantum phase transition and an excited-state quantum phase transition (ESQPT). The inclusion of an anharmonic term in the Hamiltonian implies a second ESQPT of a different nature. We characterize this ESQPT using the mean field limit of the model. The alternative ESQPT, associated with the changes in the boundary of the finite Hilbert space of the system, can be properly described using the order parameter of the ground-state quantum phase transition, the energy gap between adjacent states, the participation ratio, and the quantum fidelity susceptibility.

Dynamical properties across a quantum phase transition in the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model

Paolo Solinas, Pedro Ribeiro, Rémy Mosseri

It is of high interest, in the context of adiabatic quantum computation, to better understand the complex dynamics of a quantum system subject to a time-dependent Hamiltonian, when driven across a quantum phase transition. We present here such a study in the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick (LMG) model with one variable parameter. We first display numerical results on the dynamical evolution across the LMG quantum phase transition, which clearly shows a pronounced effect of the spectral avoided level crossings. We then derive a phenomenological (classical) transition model, which already shows some closeness to the numerical results. Finally, we show how a simplified quantum transition model can be built which strongly improve the classical approach, and shed light on the physical processes involved in the whole LMG quantum evolution. From our results, we argue that the commonly used description in term of Landau-Zener transitions is not appropriate for our model.

Dynamical signatures of quantum phase transitions for excited states

Jakub Dolejší

Dynamical signatures of quantum phase transitions for excited states Jakub Dolejší Abstract We study the impact of quantum phase transitions (QPTs) and excited- state quantum phase transitions (ESQPTs) on the validity of the adiabatic approximation for a slowly varying Hamiltonian. We compare two cases, when the initial state is the ground state of the initial Hamiltonian and when the initial state is a statistical mixture of excited states induced by a finite temperature. We use the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model of a spin lattice and obtain an abruptly decreasing scaling law of the ground-state population with a growing system size N. We comment on the justifiability of using the Landau-Zener formula to make a quantitative prediction in the case of a first-order and a second-order QPT. To achieve a truly adiabatic evolution in the thermodynamic limit, one would need to perform the Hamiltonian change during an impossibly long time period. It is possible, however, to obtain the same adiabatic final state in a given finite time period by inducing the quantum evolution with another Hamiltonian specifically devised for this purpose, thus employing the so called adiabatic shortcut. We verify the validity of adiabatic shortcuts in the presence of QPTs and ESQPTs and study the costs of performing such adiabatic...

Excited-state quantum phase transitions in the anharmonic Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model: Dynamical aspects

Jamil Khalouf-Rivera, J. Gamito, Francisco Pérez-Bernal +2 more

The standard Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick (LMG) model undergoes a second-order ground-state quantum phase transition (QPT) and an excited-state quantum phase transition (ESQPT). The inclusion of an anharmonic term in the LMG Hamiltonian gives rise to a second ESQPT that alters the static properties of the model [Gamito et al., Phys. Rev. E 106, 044125 (2022)2470-004510.1103/PhysRevE.106.044125]. In the present work, the dynamical implications associated to this new ESQPT are analyzed. For that purpose, a quantum quench protocol is defined on the system Hamiltonian that takes an initial state, usually the ground state, into a complex excited state that evolves on time. The impact of the new ESQPT on the time evolution of the survival probability and the local density of states after the quantum quench, as well as on the Loschmidt echoes and the microcanonical out-of-time-order correlator (OTOC) are discussed. The anharmonity-induced ESQPT, despite having a different physical origin, has dynamical consequences similar to those observed in the ESQPT already present in the standard LMG model.
