We have defined and have calculated the two-body and three-body spin-correlative probabilities to study spin correlations. Condensates of spin-2 atoms are chosen as examples; however, the underlying concept is general. These probabilities can directly relate to the experimental data. Therefore, they can be used to discriminate the spin structures and to clarify the interactions of various systems.

The spin structures of small spin-1 condensates ( N ⩽ 1000) under a magnetic field B have been studied beyond the mean field theory. Instead of the spinors, the many body spin eigenstates have been obtained. We have defined and calculated the spin correlative probabilities to extract information from these eigenstates. The correlation coefficients and the fidelity susceptibility have also been calculated. Thereby, the details of the spin structures responding to the variation of B can be better understood. In particular, from the correlation coefficients, which are the ratio of the two-body probability to the product of two one-body probabilities, strong correlation domains of B are found. The emphasis is placed on the sensitivity of the condensates toward B . No phase transitions in spin structures are found. However, abrupt changes in the derivatives of observables (correlative probabilities) are found in some particular domains of B . In these domains, the condensates are highly sensitive to B . The effect of temperature is considered. The probabilities defined in the paper can work as a bridge to relate theories and experiments. Therefore, they can be used to discriminate various spin structures and refine the interactions.
We have found a stable spin-structure of N [Formula: see text] 3 system in which three spin-3 atoms are trapped and coupled to total spin S [Formula: see text] 3. We have proved that a pair of this structure is nearly an exact solution for N [Formula: see text] 6 systems in a very broad district in the parameter-space. Comparing with the well-known singlet pairs, this pair is a more promising candidate to serve as a building block for large N systems with spin-3 atoms. This is because the spin-structure of the latter can be modified depending on the interactions to reduce the energy while the singlet pairs can not. In fact, we have proved that, for a specific set of strengths (a point in the parameter-space) the product state based on this pair is an exact solution of the N-body Hamiltonian. Thus, in the neighborhood of this point, the product state will appear as an approximate solution. However, how broad this neighborhood would be remains to be clarified.
In this work we present a pedagogically motivated analysis of spin-correlation calculations in a quantum system composed of two spin-1/2 particles. Rather than aiming at new physical results, our purpose is to clarify and bring attention to different strategies for evaluating expectation values of the form ⟨ψ∣Su^(1)Sv^(2)∣ψ⟩, which play an important role in discussions of entanglement and Bell-type correlations. We compare three complementary approaches. The first follows a direct algebraic evaluation in the product basis, closely related to standard textbook methods. The second uses a matrix representation of bipartite states, in which the tensor-product structure is expressed in terms of 2×2 complex matrices. This representation keeps the calculation close to the familiar Pauli-matrix algebra and makes the independent action of operators on each subsystem more transparent. The third explores a symmetry-based argument, highlighting both its usefulness and its limitations when applied beyond the singlet state. We show explicitly that the singlet state is rotationally invariant, which explains why the symmetry argument successfully reproduces its correlation function, while a naive extension fails for triplet states. The discussion illustrates how entanglement, tensor-product structure, and rotational symmetry interplay in spin correlations.
Understanding quantum many-body systems with interactions is an important problem common to various fields of physics, such as atomic physics, condensed matter physics, nuclear physics, and particle physics.Among others, ultracold atoms have provided ideal grounds to study strongly interacting systems and to explore exotic quantum states because of their high controllability.We can widely control the strengths of the interactions from weak to strong as well as the geometry of the systems.In order to deepen our understanding of quantum manybody systems with interactions, we in this thesis investigate two types of one-dimensional (1D) systems realizable with ultracold atoms; bosons and spinless fermions near two-body resonances and bosons near a three-body resonance.One-dimensional systems near two-body resonances have been intensively studied because, in the homogeneous cases, they are exactly solvable systems.The energy spectra and thermodynamic quantities exactly obtained by the Bethe ansatz have greatly contributed to deepening our comprehension of many-body systems in 1D.On the other hand, the exact computations of correlation functions, which encode information about excitations of the systems, are in general much more complicated even in the integrable systems.Motivated by this background, we derive a series of exact relations for correlation functions in bosons and fermions near two-body resonances.These relations called universal relations originate from the universal properties of the resonant systems: Their properties depend on the interactions only through the scattering lengths characterizing the low-energy scattering.The universal relations are strong constraints on the systems because the relations hold for any particle number, scattering length, temperature, and with or without a trapping potential.The relations include the asymptotic behaviors of correlation functions in high-energy regime as well as the energy relations, in which the energies are expressed in term of the momentum distributions.The universal relations involve two-and three-body contacts, which are the integrals of local pair and triad correlations, respectively.Firstly we derive, in both bosons and fermions, universal relations for static correlation functions such as static structure factors and momentum distributions within the first-quantized formalisms.The power laws of the static correlation functions for large momentum and the energy relations are obtained.The coefficients in these power-law behaviors are proportional to the two-body contact.We clarify that the three-body contact makes no contribution to the bosonic energy relation, but it plays a crucial role in the fermionic one.Secondly, we derive universal relations for dynamic correlation functions for bosons.Using the operator product expansion (OPE) in the field theoretical formalism, we obtain the largeenergy-momentum behaviors of the dynamic structure factor, the dynamic current correlation, and the single-particle spectral density as well as the quasiparticle energy and the scattering rate in high-energy regime.While the behaviors of the dynamic structure factor and the current correlation are proportional to the two-body contact, that of the single-particle spectral density is proportional to the number density.Because of the interrelation between 1D bosons and fermions near two-body resonances, the results of the dynamic structure factor and the current i
While entanglement plays an important role in characterizing quantum many-body systems, it is hardly possible to directly access many-body entanglement in real experiments. In this paper, we study how bipartite entanglement of many-body states is manifested in the correlation of local measurement outcomes. In particular, we consider a measure of correlation defined as the statistical distance between the joint probability distribution of local measurement outcomes and the product of its marginal distributions. Various bounds of this measure are obtained and several examples of many-body states are considered as a testbed for the measure. We also generalize the framework to the case of imprecise measurement and argue that the considered measure is related to the concept of quantum macroscopicity.
