Dynamics of One-Dimensional Quantum Systems: Inverse-Square Interaction Models

Yoshio Kuramoto, Yusuke S. Kato

Published Aug 1, 2014• 24 citations
OpenAlex

Abstract

One-dimensional quantum systems show fascinating properties beyond the scope of the mean-field approximation. However, the complicated mathematics involved is a high barrier to non-specialists. Written for graduate students and researchers new to the field, this book is a self-contained account of how to derive the exotic quasi-particle picture from the exact solution of models with inverse-square interparticle interactions. The book provides readers with an intuitive understanding of exact dynamical properties in terms of exotic quasi-particles which are neither bosons nor fermions. Powerful concepts, such as the Yangian symmetry in the Sutherland model and its lattice versions, are explained. A self-contained account of non-symmetric and symmetric Jack polynomials is also given. Derivations of dynamics are made easier, and are more concise than in the original papers, so readers can learn the physics of one-dimensional quantum systems through the simplest model.

Afterword

Yoshio Kuramoto, Yusuke S. Kato

We have discussed the physical and mathematical aspects of one-dimensional quantum particles with1/ r 2 interactions. On the physics side, we began with the simplest two-body system, and culminated in the exact dynamics of a supersymmetric electronic model. In this way we have tried to draw a comprehensive picture of one-dimensional quantum systems, taking the canonical systems with 1/ r 2 interactions. On the mathematical side, the most important subjects are first the Jack polynomials, and second the Yangians. These two subjects were originally developed independently, but are actually closely interrelated. Our basic viewpoint is that the 1/ r 2 systems provide the most natural working model to synthesize these two subjects, and to sharpen the concepts further. There are many topics, however, which we could not discuss in this book. This is firstly because of our insufficient understanding of the topics, and secondly because of our intention of making a reasonably sized book. We shall mention some of the omitted topics, hoping that they will be covered on another occasion. Examples of other canonical systems, which have escaped our discussion in this book, include the Calogero–Sutherland model with harmonic confinement. The spectrum of the model is equidistant as in the simple harmonic oscillator. Because of this feature the model can be compared with the chiral conformal field theory (CFT) with right-going particles only. We refer to a recent review [88] for the systems. In relation to the CFT, there are active studies to investigate the quasi-particle structure for the general case of the internal symmetry.

Quantum Physics in One Dimension

David E. Logan

To a casual ostrich the world of quantum physics in one dimension may sound a little one-dimensional, suitable perhaps for those with an unhealthy obsession for the esoteric. Nothing of course could be further from the truth. The field is remarkably rich and broad, and for more than fifty years has thrown up innumerable challenges. Theorists, realising that the role of interactions in 1D is special and that well known paradigms of higher dimensions (Fermi liquid theory for example) no longer apply, took up the challenge of developing new concepts and techniques to understand the undoubted pecularities of one-dimensional systems. And experimentalists have succeeded in turning pipe dreams into reality, producing an impressive and ever increasing array of experimental realizations of 1D systems, from the molecular to the mesoscopic---spin and ladder compounds, organic superconductors, carbon nanotubes, quantum wires, Josephson junction arrays and so on. Many books on the theory of one-dimensional systems are however written by experts for experts, and tend as such to leave the non-specialist a touch bewildered. This is understandable on both fronts, for the underlying theoretical techniques are unquestionably sophisticated and not usually part of standard courses in many-body theory. A brave author it is then who aims to produce a well rounded, if necessarily partial, overview of quantum physics in one dimension, accessible to a beginner yet taking them to the edge of current research, and providing en route a thorough grounding in the fundamental ideas, basic methods and essential phenomenology of the field. It is of course the brave who succeed in this world, and Thierry Giamarchi does just that with this excellent book, written by an expert for the uninitiated. Aimed in particular at graduate students in theoretical condensed matter physics, and assumimg little theoretical background on the part of the reader (well just a little), Giamarchi writes in a refreshingly relaxed style with infectious enthusiasm for his subject, and readily combines formal instruction with physical insight. The result is a serious, pedagogical yet comprehensive guide to the fascinating and important field of one-dimensional quantum systems, for which many a graduate student (and not a few oldies) will be grateful. The first half of the book, chapters 1--5, is devoted to a coherent presentation of the essential concepts and theoretical methods of the field. After a basic introduction to the unique behaviour of interacting electrons in one dimension, and to early fermionic approaches to the problem, Giamarchi turns to the technique of bosonization, introducing chapter 3 with a Marxist quote: `A child of five would understand this. Send for a child of five.' This most powerful technique is presented in a step by step fashion, and serious perusal of the chapter will benefit all ages since bosonization is used extensively throughout the rest of the book. The same is true of chapter 3 where a phenomenological and physically insightful introduction is given to the Luttinger liquid---the key concept in the low-energy physics of one-dimensional systems, analogous to the Fermi liquid in higher dimensions. Chapter 4 deals with what the author calls `refinements', or complications of the sort theorists in particular welcome; such as how the Luttinger liquid description is modified by the presence of long-ranged interactions, the Mott transition (`we forgot the lattice Gromit'), and the effects of breaking spin rotational invariance on application of a magnetic field. Finally chapter 5 describes various microscopic methods for one dimension, including a brief discussion of numerical techniques but focussing primarily on the Bethe ansatz---the famous one-dimensional technique others seek to emulate but whose well known complexity necessitates a relatively brief discussion, confined in practice to the spin-1/2 Heisenberg model. In the second half of the book, chapters 6--11, a range of different physical realizations of one-dimensional quantum physics are discussed. According to taste and interest, these chapters can be read in essentially any order. Spin systems are considered in chapter 6, beginning with spin chains---Jordan--Wigner, the bosonization solution---before moving to frustration, the spin-Peierls transition, and spin ladders; and including experimental examples of both spin chain and ladder materials. Chapters 7 and 8 deal with interacting lattice fermions, the former with single chain problems, notably the Hubbard, t-J and related models; and the latter with coupled fermionic chains, from finite to infinite, including a fulsome discussion of Bechgaard salts (organic conductors) as exemplars of Luttinger liquid behaviour. The effect of disorder in fermionic systems is taken up in chapter 9, and here the reader may react: interacting systems are tough enough, why make life harder? But disorder is always present to some degree in real systems---quantum wires, for example, discussed briefly in the chapter---and its effects particularly acute in one dimension. It simply cannot be avoided, even if the problem of interacting, disordered one-dimensional systems is still a long way off being solved. The penultimate chapter deals with the topical issues of boundaries, isolated impurities and constrictions, with a primary focus on mesoscopic examples of Luttinger liquids, notably carbon nanotubes and edge states in the quantum Hall effect. Finally `significant other' examples of Luttinger liquids, namely interacting one-dimensional bosons, are considered in chapter 11; which concludes with a discussion of bosonization techniques in the context of quantum impurities in Fermi liquids---the x-ray, Kondo and multichannel Kondo problems. The quality of the product attests to the fact that writing this impressive tome was a labour of love for the author. Anyone with a serious interest in getting to grips with one-dimensional quantum systems simply needs the book on their shelves---and will have great fun reading it too.

Strongly Interacting Quantum Systems, Volume 1

Manuel Valiente, Nikolaj Thomas Zinner

This book presents a detailed account of the theory and methods to tackle systems of strongly interacting particles from a bottom-up approach, which has been largely developed in the past decade by the authors and other experts in the field. This begins with a full characterisation of strongly interacting few-particle systems, which can be dealt with accurately using a variety of analytical and numerical techniques. These non-perturbative solutions can be used to gain qualitative and quantitative insight into more complex problems, especially the many-body problem. The book gives a detailed overview of the relevant and current research literature in the field, and is a valuable tool for researchers and graduate students.Part of IOP Series in Quantum Technology. Key features • Many worked examples of representative quantum systems, together with their physical interpretations and the main consequences of their solutions • Set of problems at the end of each chapter, not meant to complement the theory, but to give the reader dexterity in using the chapter’s methodologies • Timely discussion of a recently developed, and very active field summarised as “From Few- to Many-Body Quantum Physics of Strongly Interacting Particles”, and the physics of interacting quantum systems in inhomogeneous media • First, coherent, detailed monograph on the theory and methods of the field • Presents a rigorous account of the modern approaches to low-energy collisions and their use in few- and many-body physics, which have not appeared in book format • The book is relevant to a wide range of researchers and advanced students, from atomic and condensed matter physics, to photonics and nuclear physics • Written by pioneers and true experts in the field

The One-Dimensional Hubbard Model

Fabian H. L. Eßler, Holger Frahm, Frank Göhmann +2 more

The description of solids at a microscopic level is complex, involving the interaction of a huge number of its constituents, such as ions or electrons. It is impossible to solve the corresponding many-body problems analytically or numerically, although much insight can be gained from the analysis of simplified models. An important example is the Hubbard model, which describes interacting electrons in narrow energy bands, and which has been applied to problems as diverse as high-Tc superconductivity, band magnetism, and the metal-insulator transition. This 2005 book presents a coherent, self-contained account of the exact solution of the Hubbard model in one dimension. The early chapters will be accessible to beginning graduate students with a basic knowledge of quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics. The later chapters address more advanced topics, and are intended as a guide for researchers to some of the more topical results in the field of integrable models.
