Finite-size scaling analysis in the two-photon Dicke model

Abstract

We perform a Schrieffer-Wolff transformation to the two-photon Dicke model by keeping the leading-order correction with a quartic term of the field, which is crucial for finite-size scaling analysis. Besides a spectral collapse as a consequence of two-photon interaction, the super-radiant phase transition is indicated by the vanishing of the excitation energy and the uniform atomic polarization. The scaling functions for the ground-state energy and the atomic pseudospin are derived analytically. The scaling exponents of the observables are the same as those in the standard Dicke model, indicating they are in the same universality class.

Finite-size scaling exponents in the two-photon Dicke model beyond the mean-field approximation

Xiang-You Chen, Yuyu Zhang

The Hamiltonian of the two-photon Dicke model is diagonalized for the normal phase and super-radiant phase beyond the mean-field method respectively, giving the critical coupling strength. Besides a spectral collapse, the super-radiant phase transition is presented by the vanishing of the excitation energy, which is lower than the mean-field results. Finite-size scaling exponents for the ground-state energy and the atomic angular momentum are analytically derived from scaling hypothesis, belonging to the same scaling universality of the one-photon Dicke model.

Finite-size scaling exponents in the Dicke model

Julien Vidal, S Dusuel

We consider the finite-size corrections in the Dicke model and determine the scaling exponents at the critical point for several quantities such as the ground-state energy or the gap. Therefore, we use the Holstein-Primakoff representation of the angular momentum and introduce a canonical transformation to diagonalize the Hamiltonian in the normal phase. As already observed in several systems, these corrections turn out to be singular at the transition point and thus lead to nontrivial exponents. We show that for the atomic observables, these exponents are the same as in the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model, in agreement with numerical results. We also investigate the behavior of the order parameter related to the radiation mode and show that it is driven by the same scaling variable as the atomic one.

Revisiting the phase transitions of the Dicke model

Pragna Das, Auditya Sharma

The Dicke model exhibits a variety of phase transitions. The quantum phase transition from the normal phase to the super-radiant phase is marked by a dramatic change in the scaling of the participation ratio. We find that the ground state in the super-radiant phase exhibits multifractality manifest in the participation ratio scaling as the square root of the full Hilbert-space dimension. The thermal phase transition temperature, for which an exact analytical expression may be obtained using the partition function, is strikingly captured by the mutual information between two spins. In the excited-state quantum phase transition within the super-radiant phase, there are two cutoff energies; the central energy bands between the lower and upper cutoff energies show distinctly different behaviors. While the level statistics of the central band is Wigner-Dyson, the lower and upper bands show mixed behavior that is closer to Poisson than Wigner-Dyson. This finding is corroborated with the aid of several eigenvector properties: von Neumann entanglement entropy between spins and bosons, the mean photon number, concurrence between two spins, and participation ratio.

Analytic description of the super-radiant regime in the Dicke model

Eduardo Nahmad-Achar, Octavio Castaños, Ramón López–Peña +1 more

The transition to the super-radiant regime in the Dicke model of two-level atoms interacting with a one-mode radiation field has been argued to be impossible for many years. Recently, however, experimental results show that this transition is possible in an open system [1, 2]. Here we exhibit the power of the use of coherent states with restored symmetry to describe the superradiant regime of the Dicke Hamiltonian. These symmetry-adapted states allow for an analytic description of both the ground and first excited states. From these, analytical expressions for all expectation values of interest are obtained, valid for any number of atoms. All these results are exact in the thermodynamic limit.

Numerically exact solution to the finite-size Dicke model

Qing‐Hu Chen, Yuyu Zhang, Tao Liu +1 more

By using extended bosonic coherent states, a technique to solve the Dicke model exactly is proposed in the numerical sense. The accessible system size is two orders of magnitude higher than that reported in the literature. Finite-size scaling for several observables, such as the ground-state energy, Berry phase, and concurrence, is analyzed. A scaling exponent for ground-state energy is found. An existing discrepancy in the scaling exponent of the concurrence is reconciled.

First-Order Quantum Phase Transition for Dicke Model Induced by Atom-Atom Interaction*

Xiuqin Zhao, Ni Liu, Liang Jiu-Qing

Abstract In this article, we use the spin coherent state transformation and the ground state variational method to theoretically calculate the ground function. In order to consider the influence of the atom-atom interaction on the extended Dicke model’s ground state properties, the mean photon number, the scaled atomic population and the average ground energy are displayed. Using the self-consistent field theory to solve the atom-atom interaction, we discover the system undergoes a first-order quantum phase transition from the normal phase to the superradiant phase, but a famous Dicke-type second-order quantum phase transition without the atom-atom interaction. Meanwhile, the atom-atom interaction makes the phase transition point shift to the lower atom-photon collective coupling strength.
