Abstract

This thesis, explores the quantum entanglement and evolution through both a geometric and dynamical perspective. The first part focuses on classical phase space and its central role in Hamiltonian mechanics, emphasizing the importance of symplectic structures in describing mechanical states. The study highlights the formal analogy between classical phase space and the Hilbert space used in quantum mechanics. The second part is devoted to the geometric description of quantum states through the projective structure of Hilbert space. Emphasis is placed on the geometric interpretation of quantum evolution, particularly via the Fubini-Study metric, associated symplectic structures, and the geometric phase acquired during unitary evolutions. The final two parts are dedicated to the study of spin systems (both two-body and many-body) under different interaction models (XXZ Heisenberg and all-range Ising). Both the dynamical aspects (evolution speed, entanglement, and the quantum brachistochrone problem) and the geometric and topological structures of the corresponding quantum states are analyzed.

Geometrical, topological, and dynamical description of N interacting spin- s particles in a long-range Ising model and their interplay with quantum entanglement

Brahim Amghar, Abdallah Slaoui, Jamal Elfakir +1 more

Comprehending the connections between the geometric, topological, and dynamical structures of integrable quantum systems with quantum phenomena exploitable in quantum information tasks, such as quantum entanglement, is a major problem in geometric information science. In this work we investigate these issues in a physical system of $\mathcal{N}$ interacting spin-$\mathtt{s}$ under the long-range Ising model. We discover the relevant dynamics, identify the corresponding quantum phase space, and we derive the associated Fubini-Study metric. Through the application of the Gauss-Bonnet theorem and the derivation of the Gaussian curvature, we proved that the dynamics occurs on a spherical topology manifold. Afterwards, we analyze the gained geometrical phase under the arbitrary and cyclic evolution processes and solve the quantum brachistochrone problem by establishing the time-optimal evolution. Moreover, by narrowing the system to a two spin-$\mathtt{s}$ system, we explore the relevant entanglement from two different perspectives. The first is geometrical in nature and involves the investigation of the interplay between the entanglement degree and the geometrical structures, such as the Fubini-Study metric, the Gaussian curvature, and the geometrical phase. The second is dynamical in nature and tackles the entanglement effect on the evolution speed and geodesic distance. Additionally, we resolve the quantum brachistochrone problem based on the entanglement degree.

Geometrical and dynamical description of two interacting spins under the XXZ-type Heisenberg model

Jamal Elfakir, Brahim Amghar, Mohammed Daoud A

We consider a physical system consisting of two interacting spins governed by the [Formula: see text]-type Heisenberg Hamiltonian in an external magnetic field. We investigate the quantum evolution and the Riemannian geometry of the two-spin state space by means of the relevant Fubini–Study metric. The geometrical phase accumulated by the two-spin state is also examined under arbitrary and cyclic evolutions. By computing the evolution speed and the corresponding geodesic distance, we solve the quantum brachistochrone problem. The entanglement between the two spins is also studied via two approaches: the first one deals with the entanglement effect on the Fubini–Study metric and the geometrical phase, while the second one treats the entanglement effect on the evolution speed and the corresponding geodesic distance. Finally, we solve the quantum brachistochrone problem using the entanglement degree.

A geometric Hamiltonian description of composite quantum systems and quantum entanglement

Davide Pastorello

Finite-dimensional Quantum Mechanics can be geometrically formulated as a proper classical-like Hamiltonian theory in a projective Hilbert space. The description of composite quantum systems within the geometric Hamiltonian framework is discussed in this paper. As summarized in the first part of this work, in the Hamiltonian formulation the phase space of a quantum system is the Kähler manifold given by the complex projective space P(H) of the Hilbert space H of the considered quantum theory. However the phase space of a bipartite system must be P(H1 ⊗ H2) and not simply P(H1) × P(H2) as suggested by the analogy with Classical Mechanics. A part of this paper is devoted to manage this problem. In the second part of the work, a definition of quantum entanglement and a proposal of entanglement measure are given in terms of a geometrical point of view (a rather studied topic in recent literature). Finally two known separability criteria are implemented in the Hamiltonian formalism.

Geometry and quantum brachistochrone analysis of multiple entangled spin-1/2 particles under all-range Ising interaction

B. Amghar, M. Yachi, M. Amghar +3 more

We present a unified geometric and dynamical framework for a physical system consisting of $n$ spin-$1/2$ particles with all-range Ising interaction. Using the Fubini-Study formalism, we derive the metric tensor of the associated quantum state manifold and compute the corresponding Riemann curvature. Our analysis reveals that the system evolves over a smooth, compact, two-dimensional manifold with spherical topology and a dumbbell-like structure shaped by collective spin interactions. We further investigate the influence of the geometry and topology of the resulting state space on the behavior of geometric and topological phases acquired by the system. We explore how this curvature constrains the system's dynamical behavior, including its evolution speed and Fubini-Study distance between the quantum states. Within this geometric framework, we address the quantum brachistochrone problem and derive the minimal time required for optimal evolution, a result useful for time-efficient quantum circuit design. Subsequently, we explore the role of entanglement in shaping the state space geometry, modulating geometric phase, and controlling evolution speed and brachistochrone time. Our results reveal that entanglement enhances dynamics up to a critical threshold, beyond which geometric constraints begin to hinder evolution. Moreover, entanglement induces critical shifts in the geometric phase, making it a sensitive indicator of entanglement levels and a practical tool for steering quantum evolution. This approach offers valuable guidance for developing quantum technologies that require time-efficient control strategies rooted in the geometry of quantum state space.

Symplectic perspective to quantum computing for Hamiltonian systems

Efstratios Koukoutsis, Kyriakos Hizanidis, Lucas I Inigo Gamiz +4 more

This work develops a symplectic framework for quantum computing to be applied to classical Hamiltonian systems, exploiting the intrinsic geometric compatibility between unitary quantum evolution and symplectic phase-space dynamics in a two-fold way. The first part is devoted in establishing an exact correspondence between quantum evolution and classical Hamiltonian flow on a Kahler manifold. This correspondence enables a geometric quantization scheme that identifies a family of classical Hamiltonian systems admitting exponentially compressed quantum representations-appropriate for quantum simulation. In the second part we demonstrate that Liouville-integrable Hamiltonian dynamics induce finite-dimensional unitary evolution through action-angle variables and Koopman-von Neumann encoding. This allows efficient quantum representation and parallel evolution of large phase-space ensembles, where entangled encodings provide exponential compression in ensemble size and enable quantum speed-ups in observable estimation via amplitude estimation techniques. For non-integrable systems, Lie canonical perturbation theory is incorporated to construct near-symplectic transformations that map dynamics to approximately integrable forms, preserving unitary evolution up to a controlled error. We derive the resulting quantum computational complexity of the proposed quantum-symplectic scheme, revealing both an exponential compression in memory requirements and a potential polynomial speed-up with respect to the system size. Finally, the transport evolution equation governing the quantum phase-space observables is obtained.

Geometric Science of Quantum Systems

Oussama Latifi, Mouhcine Yachi, Brahim Amghar +2 more

This work explores how geometry shapes the rules of quantum mechanics. Just as planets move along curved paths in space, quantum states evolve on geometric “phase spaces” with unique shapes. We show how these spaces like the famous Bloch sphere for qubits help us understand quantum dynamics, speed limits, and even entanglement. A key focus is the “geometric phase,” a memory-like effect acquired by quantum systems during cyclic journeys, akin to a hiker gaining elevation on a mountain trail. We solve the “quantum brachistochrone” problem finding the fastest path between quantum states using geometric tools. For two interacting spins, we reveal how entanglement warps the geometry of their shared state space, linking stronger correlations to flatter curvature. Finally, we connect these ideas to quantum computing, showing how geometric phases enable robust logic gates in experiments like nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). This bridges abstract math to real-world quantum technologies.
