Determining the non-Hermitian parent Hamiltonian from a single eigenstate

Xu-Dan Xie, Zheng‐Yuan Xue, Dan-Bo Zhang

A quantum state for being an eigenstate of some local Hamiltonian should be constrained by zero energy variance and consequently, the constraint is rather strong that a single eigenstate may uniquely determine the Hamiltonian. For non-Hermitian systems, it is natural to expect that determining the Hamiltonian requires a pair of both left and right eigenstates. Here, we observe that it can be sufficient to determine a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian from a single right or left eigenstate. Our approach is based on the quantum covariance matrix, where the solution of Hamiltonian corresponds to the complex null vector. Our scheme favors non-Hermitian Hamiltonian learning on experimental quantum systems, as only the right eigenstates there can be accessed. Furthermore, we use numerical simulations to examine the effects of measurement errors and show the stability of our scheme.

Learning Symmetric Hamiltonian

Jing Zhou, D. L. Zhou

Hamiltonian Learning is a process of recovering system Hamiltonian from measurements, which is a fundamental problem in quantum information processing. In this study, we investigate the problem of learning the symmetric Hamiltonian from its eigenstate. Inspired by the application of group theory in block diagonal secular determination, we have derived a method to determine the number of linearly independent equations about the Hamiltonian unknowns obtained from an eigenstate. This number corresponds to the degeneracy of the associated irreducible representation of the Hamiltonian symmetry group. To illustrate our approach, we examine the XXX Hamiltonian and the XXZ Hamiltonian. We first determine the Hamiltonian symmetry group, then work out the decomposition of irreducible representation, which serves as foundation for analyzing the uniqueness of recovered Hamiltonian. Our numerical findings consistently align with our theoretical analysis.

Determination of System Hamiltonian with Multi-dimensional Spectroscopy

Steven T. Cundiff, Hebin Li, Alan D. Bristow +2 more

We present the use of three-dimensional coherent spectroscopy to isolate quantum pathways. Isolation of individual quantum pathways allows the parameters of the Hamiltonian to be determined. We demonstrate this possibility using an atomic vapor.

The geometry of Floquet states

Vladimir Y. Cherynak, John R. Klein

This paper studies the moduli space of "good" periodic Hamiltonians, i.e., periodic Hamiltonians with nondegenerate Floquet spectrum. The corresponding Floquet states determine a geometric model for the moduli space of such Hamiltonians. The model is expressed in terms of configuration spaces, flag manifolds, and principal bundles. A corollary of the main result is the complete determination of the rational cohomology ring of the space of good periodic Hamiltonians. The paper also considers the adiabatic driving of a 1-parameter family of good periodic Hamiltonians. We formulate two conjectures describing the resulting asymptotic quantum evolution. These are Floquet analogues of the adiabatic theorem in quantum mechanics.
