Abstract

Quantum integrability has proven to be a useful tool to study quantum many-body systems out of equilibrium. In this paper we construct a generic framework for integrable quantum circuits through the procedure of Floquet Baxterisation. The integrability is guaranteed by establishing a connection between Floquet evolution operators and inhomogeneous transfer matrices obtained from the Yang-Baxter relations. This allows us to construct integrable Floquet evolution operators with arbitrary depths and various boundary conditions. Furthermore, we focus on the example related to the staggered 6-vertex model. In the scaling limit we establish a connection of this Floquet protocol with a non-rational conformal field theory. Employing the properties of the underlying affine Temperley-Lieb algebraic structure, we demonstrate the dynamical anti-unitary symmetry breaking in the easy-plane regime. We also give an overview of integrability-related quantum circuits, highlighting future research directions.

Open-boundary integrable quantum circuits with different geometries

Miguel García Fernández, Chiara Paletta, Ana L. Retore

We present a complete classification of integrable Yang-Baxter quantum circuits with open boundary conditions and arbitrary circuit geometries. Starting from the standard transfer-matrix construction with two types of staggered inhomogeneities, we derive a general mapping that determines the arrangement of circuit gates in terms of the inhomogeneities and the system size. We conjecture that time-periodic quantum circuits are integrable whenever the local bulk and boundary gates satisfy the Yang-Baxter equation and the same bulk gate is applied exactly once per period to every nearest-neighbor pair of spins. Our construction also provides an algorithm to detect Yang-Baxter integrability for circuits with arbitrary geometries. Furthermore, we introduce a third type of inhomogeneity, denoted by $ρ$, and demonstrate that the minimum possible circuit depth is four. We show that when these $ρ$-inhomogeneities are placed at the endpoints and in their immediate neighborhood, the resulting boundary gates can be interpreted as single gates acting on multiple sites. Our construction is fully general and applies to regular $R$-matrices, both of difference and non-difference type, together with their associated boundary matrices. As an application, we consider two-qubit gates corresponding to 6- and 8-vertex $R$-matrices of non-difference form satisfying the Yang-Baxter equation, and we construct the associated reflection matrices that generate integrable quantum circuits.

Integrability of open boundary driven quantum circuits

Chiara Paletta, Tomaž Prosen

In this paper, we address the problem of Yang-Baxter integrability of doubled quantum circuit of qubits (spins 1/2) with open boundary conditions where the two circuit replicas are only coupled at the left or right boundary. We investigate the cases where the bulk is given by elementary six vertex unitary gates of either the free fermionic XX type or interacting XXZ type. By using the Sklyanin’s construction of reflection algebra, we obtain the most general solutions of the boundary Yang-Baxter equation for such a setup. We use this solution to build, from the transfer matrix formalism, integrable circuits with two step discrete time Floquet (aka brickwork) dynamics. We prove that, only if the bulk is a free-model, the boundary matrices are in general non-factorizable, and for particular choice of free parameters yield non-trivial unitary dynamics with boundary interaction between the two chains. Then, we consider the limit of continuous time evolution and we give the interpretation of a restricted set of the boundary terms in the Lindbladian setting. Specifically, for a particular choice of free parameters, the solutions correspond to an open quantum system dynamics with the source terms representing injecting or removing particles from the boundary of the spin chain.

Temperley–LiebK-matrices

A. Lima-Santos

This work concerns studies of boundary integrability of the vertex models from representations of the Temperley–Lieb algebra associated with the quantum group 𝒰 q [ X n ] for the affine Lie algebras X n = , , and . A systematic computation method is used to construct solutions of the boundary Yang–Baxter equations. We find a 2 n 2 + 1 free parameter solution for spin-( n − 1/2) and vertex models. It turns out that for spin- n , and vertex models, the solution has 2 n 2 + 2 n + 1 free parameters.

Integrable boundary conditions in the antiferromagnetic Potts model

Niall Robertson, Michal Pawelkiewicz, Jesper Lykke Jacobsen +1 more

Abstract We present an exact mapping between the staggered six-vertex model and an integrable model constructed from the twisted affine $$ {D}_2^2 $$ D 2 2 Lie algebra. Using the known relations between the staggered six-vertex model and the antiferromagnetic Potts model, this mapping allows us to study the latter model using tools from integrability. We show that there is a simple interpretation of one of the known K -matrices of the $$ {D}_2^2 $$ D 2 2 model in terms of Temperley-Lieb algebra generators, and use this to present an integrable Hamiltonian that turns out to be in the same universality class as the antiferromagnetic Potts model with free boundary conditions. The intriguing degeneracies in the spectrum observed in related works ([12, 13]) are discussed.

Temperley-Lieb K-matrices

This work concerns to the studies of boundary integrability of the vertex models from representations of the Temperley-Lieb algebra associated with the quantum group ${\cal U}_{q}[X_{n}]$ for the affine Lie algebras $X_{n}$ = $A_{1}^{(1)}$, $B_{n}^{(1)}$, $C_{n}^{(1)}$ and $D_{n}^{(1)}$. A systematic computation method is used to constructed solutions of the boundary Yang-Baxter equations. We find a $2n^{2}+1$ free parameter solution for $A_{1}^{(1)} $ spin-$(n-1/2)$ and $ C_{n}^{(1)}$ vertex models. It turns that for $A_{1}^{(1)} $ spin-$n$, $ B_{n}^{(1)}$ and $D_{n}^{(1)}$ vertex models, the solution has $2n^{2}+2n+1$ free parameters.

Floquet integrability and long-range entanglement generation in the one-dimensional quantum Potts model

Anatoliy I. Lotkov, Vladimir Gritsev, Aleksey K. Fedorov +1 more

We develop a Floquet protocol for long-range entanglement generation in the one-dimensional quantum Potts model, which generalizes the transverse-filed Ising model by allowing each spin to have $n>2$ states. We focus on the case of $n=3$, so that the model describes a chain of qutrits. The suggested protocol creates qutrit Bell-like pairs with nonlocal long-range entanglement that spans over the entire chain. We then conjecture that the proposed Floquet protocol is integrable and explicitly construct a few first nontrivial conserved quantities that commute with the stroboscopic evolution operator. Our analysis of the Floquet integrability relies on the deep connection between the quantum Potts model and a much broader class of models described by the Temperley-Lieb algebra. We work at the purely algebraic level and our results on Floquet integrability are valid for any representation of the Temperley-Lieb algebra. We expect that our findings can be probed with present experimental facilities using Rydberg programmable quantum simulators and can find various applications in quantum technologies.
