Abstract

One of the challenges in quantum information is to create quantum states that can be used as resources, for instance, in the measurement-based model of quantum computing. Here, the author investigates the generation, through a dynamical phase transition, of a topological entangled state, by the Floquet evolution of a chain of spins, whose ground state is the so-called cluster state, acted upon by a quantum walker. The nonergodic phase is characterized by the emergence of magnetic order, persistent at long times.

Low-energy-state dynamics of entanglement for spin systems

Rouhollah Jafari

We develop the ideas of the quantum renormalization group and quantum information by exploring the low-energy-state dynamics of entanglement resources of a system close to its quantum critical point. We demonstrate that low-energy-state dynamical quantities of one-dimensional magnetic systems can show a quantum phase transition point and show scaling behavior in the vicinity of the transition point. To present our idea, we study the evolution of two spin entanglements in the one-dimensional Ising model in the transverse field. The system is initialized as the so-called thermal ground state of the pure Ising model. We investigate the evolution of the generation of entanglement with increasing magnetic field. We obtain that the derivative of the time at which the entanglement reaches its maximum with respect to the transverse field diverges at the critical point and its scaling behaviors versus the size of the system are the same as the static ground-state entanglement of the system.

Quantum geometry and geometric entanglement entropy of one-dimensional Floquet topological matter

Longwen Zhou

The geometry of quantum states could offer indispensable insights for characterizing the topological properties, phase transitions, and entanglement nature of many-body systems. In this work, we reveal the quantum geometry and the associated entanglement entropy (EE) of Floquet topological states in one-dimensional periodically driven systems. The quantum metric tensors of Floquet states are found to show nonanalytic signatures at topological phase transition points. Away from the transition points, the bipartite geometric EE of Floquet states exhibits an area-law scaling vs the system size, which holds for a Floquet band at any filling fractions. For a uniformly filled Floquet band, the EE further becomes purely quantum geometric. At phase transition points, the geometric EE scales logarithmically with the system size and displays cusps in the nearby parameter ranges. These discoveries are demonstrated by investigating typical Floquet models including periodically driven spin chains, Floquet topological insulators, and superconductors. Our findings uncover the rich quantum geometries of Floquet states, unveiling the geometric origin of EE for gapped Floquet topological phases, and introducing information-theoretic means of depicting topological transitions in Floquet systems.

Spin and topological order in a periodically driven spin chain

Angelo Russomanno, Bat-el Friedman, Emanuele G. Dalla Torre

The periodically driven quantum Ising chain has recently attracted a large attention in the context of Floquet engineering. In addition to the common paramagnet and ferromagnet, this driven model can give rise to new topological phases. In this work, we systematically explore its quantum phase diagram by examining the properties of its Floquet ground state. We specifically focus on driving protocols with time-reversal invariant points, and demonstrate the existence of an infinite number of distinct phases. These phases are separated by second-order quantum phase transitions, accompanied by continuous changes of local and string order parameters, as well as sudden changes of a topological winding number and of the number of protected edge states. When one of these phase transitions is adiabatically crossed, the correlator associated to the order parameter is nonvanishing over a length scale which shows a Kibble-Zurek scaling. In some phases, the Floquet ground state spontaneously breaks the discrete time-translation symmetry of the Hamiltonian. Our findings provide a better understanding of topological phases in periodically driven clean integrable models.

Phase transitions and localizable entanglement in cluster-state spin chains with Ising couplings and local fields

Stein Olav Skrøvseth, Stephen D. Bartlett

We consider a one-dimensional spin chain for which the ground state is the cluster state, capable of functioning as a quantum computational wire when subjected to local adaptive measurements of individual qubits, and investigate the robustness of this property to local and coupled (Ising-type) perturbations. We investigate the ground state both by identifying suitable correlation functions as order parameters, as well as numerically using a variational method based on matrix product states. We find that the model retains an infinite localizable entanglement length for Ising and local fields up to a quantum phase transition, but that the resulting entangled state is not simply characterized by a Pauli correction based on the measurement results.

Low energy states dynamic of entanglement for spin systems

We have composed the ideas of quantum renormalization group and quantum information by exploring the low energy states dynamic of entanglement resources of a system close to its quantum critical point. We demonstrate the low energy states dynamical quantities of the one dimensional magnetic systems could show the quantum phase transition point and shows the scaling behavior in the vicinity of the transition point. To present our idea, we study the evolution of two spins entanglement in the one-dimensional Ising model in the transverse field. The system is initialized as the so-called thermal ground state of the pure Ising model. We investigate evolvement of the generation of entanglement with increasing the magnetic field. We have obtained that the derivative of the time at which the entanglement reaches its maximums with respect to the transverse field, diverges at the critical point and its scaling behaviors versus the size of the system are as same as the static ground state entanglement of the the system.

Dynamical Quantum Phase Transitions in Random Spin Chains

Ronen Vosk, Ehud Altman

Using a renormalization group approach, we solve the time evolution of random Ising spin chains with generic interactions starting from initial states of arbitrary energy. As a function of the Hamiltonian parameters, the system is tuned through a dynamical transition, similar to the ground-state critical point, at which the local spin correlations establish true long-range temporal order. In the state with a dominant transverse field, a spin that starts in an up state loses its orientation with time, while in the ``ordered'' state it never does. As in ground-state quantum phase transitions, the dynamical transition has unique signatures in the entanglement properties of the system. When the system is initialized in a product state, the entanglement entropy grows as $\mathrm{log}(t)$ in the two ``phases,'' while at the critical point it grows as ${\mathrm{log}}^{\ensuremath{\alpha}}(t)$, with $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ a universal number. This universal entanglement growth requires generic (``integrability breaking'') interactions to be added to the pure transverse field Ising model.
