Multipartite entanglement from matrix-product states and a quantum phase transition

Abstract

We investigate multipartite entanglement and a quantum phase transition for spin chain systems by making use of the density-matrix renormalization-group method in the form of matrix-product states. It is found that multipartite entanglement changes dramatically near the critical region and the residual-to-global entanglement ratio reaches its maximum at the critical point of the quantum phase transition. These results indicate that multipartite entanglement as well as the residual-to-global entanglement ratio can serve as good indicators to detect a quantum phase transition. We also demonstrate a linear relation between the next-nearest-neighbor interaction strength and the critical magnetic field for an $XYZ$ spin chain by using multipartite entanglement and quantum coherence.

Multipartite entanglement and quantum phase transitions in the one-, two-, and three-dimensional transverse-field Ising model

Afshin Montakhab, Ali Asadian

In this paper we consider the quantum phase transition in the Ising model in the presence of a transverse field in one, two, and three dimensions from a multipartite entanglement point of view. Using exact numerical solutions, we are able to study such systems up to 25 qubits. The Meyer-Wallach measure of global entanglement is used to study the critical behavior of this model. The transition we consider is between a symmetric Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger--like state to a paramagnetic product state. We find that global entanglement serves as a good indicator of quantum phase transition with interesting scaling behavior. We use finite-size scaling to extract the critical point as well as some critical exponents for the one- and two-dimensional models. Our results indicate that such multipartite measure of global entanglement shows universal features regardless of dimension $d$. Our results also provide evidence that multipartite entanglement is better suited for the study of quantum phase transitions than the much-studied bipartite measures.

Multipartite entanglement measures and quantum criticality from matrix and tensor product states

Ching-Yu Huang, Feng-Li Lin

We compute the multipartite entanglement measures such as the global entanglement of various one- and two-dimensional quantum systems to probe the quantum criticality based on the matrix and tensor product states (MPSs and TPSs). We use the infinite time-evolving block decimation (iTEBD) method to find the ground states numerically in the form of MPSs and TPSs, and then evaluate their entanglement measures by the method of tensor renormalization group (TRG). We find that these entanglement measures can characterize the quantum phase transitions by their derivative discontinuity right at the critical points in all models considered here. We also comment on the scaling behaviors of the entanglement measures by the ideas of quantum-state renormalization group transformations.

Global entanglement in a topological quantum phase transition

Elahe Samimi, Mohammad Hossein Zarei, Afshin Montakhab

A useful approach to characterize and identify quantum phase transitions lies in the concept of multipartite entanglement. In this paper, we consider well-known measures of multipartite (global) entanglement, i.e., average linear entropy of one-qubit and two-qubit reduced density matrices, in order to study topological quantum phase transition (TQPT) in the Kitaev Toric code Hamiltonian with a nonlinear perturbation. We provide an exact mapping from aforementioned measures in the above model to internal energy and energy-energy correlations in the classical Ising model. Accordingly, we find that the global entanglement shows a continuous and sharp transition from a maximum value in the topological phase to zero in the magnetized phase in a sense that its first-order derivative diverges at the transition point. In this regard, we conclude that not only can the global entanglement serve as a reasonable tool to probe quantum criticality at TQPTs, but it also can reveal the highly entangled nature of topological phases. Furthermore, we also introduce a conditional version of global entanglement which becomes maximum at the critical point. Therefore, regarding a general expectation that multipartite entanglement reaches maximum value at the critical point of quantum many-body systems, our result proposes that the conditional global entanglement can be a good measure of multipartite entanglement in TQPTs.

Predicting Critical Phases from Entanglement Dynamics in XXZ Alternating Chain

Keshav Das Agarwal, Leela Ganesh Chandra Lakkaraju, Aditi Sen De

The quantum XXZ spin model with alternating bond strengths under magnetic field has a rich equilibrium phase diagram which includes Haldane, Luttinger liquid, singlet, and paramagnetic phases. We show that the nearest neighbor bipartite and multipartite entanglement can detect quantum critical lines and phases in this model. We determine a region in parameter space in which the dynamical states, starting from the ground state of the Haldane (dimer) phase can create highly multipartite entangled states for any time period, thereby establishing it as a potential candidate for the implementation of quantum information tasks. We also exhibit that if the initial and evolved states are in two different phases, the nonanalytic behavior of multipartite entanglement and the rate function based on Loschmidt echo can signal quantum phase transition happened at zero temperature. In a similar spirit, we report that from the product state, the patterns of block entanglement entropy of the evolved state with time can also infer the phase transition at equilibrium.

Renormalization of trace distance and multipartite entanglement close to the quantum phase transitions of one- and two-dimensional spin-chain systems

Wei Wu, Jing‐Bo Xu

We investigate the quantum phase transitions of spin systems in one and two dimensions by employing trace distance and multipartite entanglement along with the real-space quantum renormalization group method. As illustration examples, a one-dimensional and a two-dimensional XY models are considered. It is shown that the quantum phase transitions of these spin-chain systems can be revealed by the singular behaviors of the first derivatives of renormalized trace distance and multipartite entanglement in the thermodynamics limit. Moreover, we find that the renormalized trace distance and multipartite entanglement obey certain universal exponential-type scaling laws in the vicinity of the quantum critical points.

Multipartite entanglement serves as a faithful detector for quantum phase transitions

Yanchao Li, Yuan-Hang Zhou, Yuan Zhang +2 more

Abstract We investigate quantum phase transitions (QPTs) in various spin chain systems using the multipartite entanglement measure τ S E F based on the monogamy inequality of squared entanglement of formation (EOF). Our results demonstrate that τ S E F is more effective and reliable than bipartite entanglement or bipartite correlation measures such as EOF, von Neumann entropy, and quantum discord in characterizing QPTs. τ S E F not only detects critical points that may go unnoticed by other detectors but also avoids the issue of singularity at non-critical points encountered by other measures. Furthermore, by applying τ S E F , we have obtained the phase diagram for the XY spin chain with three and four interactions and discovered a new quantum phase.
