Abstract

We investigate the quantum phase transition in the anisotropic Dicke model through an examination of the quantum geometric tensor of the ground state. In this analysis, two distinct classical limits exhibit their unique anisotropic characteristics. The classical spin limit demonstrates a preference for the rotating-wave coupling, whereas the classical oscillator limit exhibits symmetry in the coupling strength of the bias. The anisotropic features of the classical spin limit persist at finite scales. Furthermore, we observe that the interplay among the anisotropic ratio, spin length, and frequency ratio can collectively enhance the critical behaviors. This critical enhancement without a trade-off between these factors provides a flexible method for quantum precision measurement.

Quantum phase transition in the Dicke model with critical and noncritical entanglement

L. Bakemeier, Andreas Alvermann, Holger Fehske

We study the quantum phase transition of the Dicke model in the classical oscillator limit, where it occurs already for finite spin length. In contrast to the classical spin limit, for which spin-oscillator entanglement diverges at the transition, entanglement in the classical oscillator limit remains small. We derive the quantum phase transition with identical critical behavior in the two classical limits and explain the differences with respect to quantum fluctuations around the mean-field ground state through an effective model for the oscillator degrees of freedom. With numerical data for the full quantum model we study convergence to the classical limits. We contrast the classical oscillator limit with the dual limit of a high-frequency oscillator, where the spin degrees of freedom are described by the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model. An alternative limit can be defined for the Rabi case of spin length one-half, in which spin frequency renormalization replaces the quantum phase transition.

Universal Scaling and Critical Exponents of the Anisotropic Quantum Rabi Model

Maoxin Liu, Stefano Chesi, Zu‐Jian Ying +3 more

We investigate the quantum phase transition of the anisotropic quantum Rabi model, in which the rotating and counterrotating terms are allowed to have different coupling strengths. The model interpolates between two known limits with distinct universal properties. Through a combination of analytic and numerical approaches, we extract the phase diagram, scaling functions, and critical exponents, which determine the universality class at finite anisotropy (identical to the isotropic limit). We also reveal other interesting features, including a superradiance-induced freezing of the effective mass and discontinuous scaling functions in the Jaynes-Cummings limit. Our findings are extended to the few-body quantum phase transitions with N>1 spins, where we expose the same effective parameters, scaling properties, and phase diagram. Thus, a stronger form of universality is established, valid from N=1 up to the thermodynamic limit.

Quantum Criticality in the Biased Dicke Model

Han‐Jie Zhu, Guo‐Feng Zhang, Heng Fan

The biased Dicke model describes a system of biased two-level atoms coupled to a bosonic field, and is expected to produce new phenomena that are not present in the original Dicke model. In this paper, we study the critical properties of the biased Dicke model in the classical oscillator limits. For the finite-biased case in this limit, We present analytical results demonstrating that the excitation energy does not vanish for arbitrary coupling. This indicates that the second order phase transition is avoided in the biased Dicke model, which contrasts to the original Dicke model. We also analyze the squeezing and the entanglement in the ground state, and find that a finite bias will strongly modify their behaviors in the vicinity of the critical coupling point.

Dynamics of the Dicke model close to the classical limit

L. Bakemeier, Andreas Alvermann, Holger Fehske

We study the dynamical properties of the Dicke model for increasing spin length, as the system approaches the limit of a classical spin. First, we describe the emergence of collective excitations above the ground state that converge to the coupled spin-oscillator oscillations found in the classical limit. The corresponding Green functions reveal quantum dynamical signatures close to the superradiant quantum phase transition. Second, we identify signatures of classical quasiperiodic orbits in the quantum time evolution using numerical time propagation of the wave function. The resulting phase-space plots are compared to the classical trajectories. We complete our study with the analysis of individual eigenstates close to the quasiperiodic orbits.

Phase transitions of the anisotropic Dicke model

Pragna Das, Devendra Singh Bhakuni, Auditya Sharma

We systematically analyze the various phase transitions of the anisotropic Dicke model that is endowed with both rotating and counterrotating light-matter couplings. In addition to the ground-state quantum phase transition (QPT) from the normal to the superradiant phase, the anisotropic Dicke model also exhibits other transitions, namely, the excited state quantum phase transition (ESQPT), ergodic to nonergodic transition (ENET), and the temperature-dependent phase transition. We show that these phase transitions are profitably studied not only with the standard consecutive level spacing ratio, but also with the aid of various eigenvector quantities such as von Neumann entanglement entropy, the participation ratio, multifractal dimension, and mutual information. For ENET, both the statics and dynamics of the participation ratio offer a consistent and useful picture. An exciting finding from our work is that the ESQPT and the ENET are closely related to each other. We show this with the aid of two characteristic energies in the spectrum corresponding to jumps in von Neumann entropy.

Quantum Phase Transitions in a Generalized Dicke Model

Wen Liu, Liwei Duan

We investigate a generalized Dicke model by introducing two interacting spin ensembles coupled with a single-mode bosonic field. Apart from the normal to superradiant phase transition induced by the strong spin-boson coupling, interactions between the two spin ensembles enrich the phase diagram by introducing ferromagnetic, antiferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases. The mean-field approach reveals a phase diagram comprising three phases: paramagnetic-normal phase, ferromagnetic-superradiant phase, and antiferromagnetic-normal phase. Ferromagnetic spin-spin interaction can significantly reduce the required spin-boson coupling strength to observe the superradiant phase, where the macroscopic excitation of the bosonic field occurs. Conversely, antiferromagnetic spin-spin interaction can strongly suppress the superradiant phase. To examine higher-order quantum effects beyond the mean-field contribution, we utilize the Holstein-Primakoff transformation, which converts the generalized Dicke model into three coupled harmonic oscillators in the thermodynamic limit. Near the critical point, we observe the close of the energy gap between the ground and the first excited states, the divergence of entanglement entropy and quantum fluctuation in certain quadrature. These observations further confirm the quantum phase transition and offer additional insights into critical behaviors.
