Properties of Parity Non-conserved and Parity Conserved States in Matrix Product Systems
Jing Zhu
Abstract
In terms of reflection transformation of a matrix product state (MPS),the parity of the MPS is defined. Based on the reflective parity non-conserved MPS pair we construct the even-parity state |Ψ_e and the odd-parity state |Ψ_o.It is interesting to find that the parity non-conserved reflective MPS pair have no long-range correlations;instead the even-parity state |Ψ_e and the odd-parity state |Ψ_o constructed from them have the same long-range correlations for the parity non-conserved block operators.Moreover,the entanglement between a block of n contiguous spins and the rest of the spin chain for the states |Ψ_e and |Ψ_o is larger than that for the reflective MPS pair except for n = 1,and the difference of them approaches 1 monotonically and asymptotically from 0 as n increases from 1.These characteristics indicate that MPS parity as a conserved physical quantity represents a kind of coherent collective quantum mode,and that the parity conserved MPSs contain more correlation,coherence,and entanglement than the parity non-conserved ones.
