Entanglement and quantum phase diagrams of symmetric multi-qubit systems

Abstract

Abstract For general symmetric multi-qubit systems, the behavior of one- and two-qubit entanglement for Dicke, spin coherent and parity-adapted (even and odd) spin coherent states is determined. These quantum correlations are quantified by linear and von Neumann entropies of the corresponding one- and two-qubit reduced density matrices of the multi-qubit system. These states play a fundamental role in the study of Hamiltonian systems written in terms of collective generators of the angular momentum algebra like, for example, the Lipkin–Meshkov–Glick (LMG) model. Here we shall use these entanglement measures as a signature to characterize the different quantum phases that appear in these models.

Information diagrams in the study of entanglement in symmetric multi-quDit systems and applications to quantum phase transitions in Lipkin–Meshkov–Glick D-level atom models

Julio Guerrero, Alberto Mayorgas, Manuel Calixto

Abstract In this paper we pursue the use of information measures (in particular, information diagrams) for the study of entanglement in symmetric multi-quDit systems. We use generalizations to $${U}(D)$$ U ( D ) of spin $${U}(2)$$ U ( 2 ) coherent states and their adaptation to parity (multicomponent Schrödinger cats), and we analyse one- and two-quDit reduced density matrices. We use these correlation measures to characterize quantum phase transitions occurring in Lipkin–Meshkov–Glick models of $$D=3$$ D = 3 -level identical atoms, and we propose the rank of the corresponding reduced density matrix as a discrete order parameter.

Entanglement and U(D)-spin squeezing in symmetric multi-quDit systems and applications to quantum phase transitions in Lipkin–Meshkov–Glick D-level atom models

Manuel Calixto, Alberto Mayorgas, Julio Guerrero

Abstract Collective spin operators for symmetric multi-quDit (namely identical D -level atom) systems generate a U( D ) symmetry. We explore generalizations to arbitrary D of SU(2)-spin coherent states and their adaptation to parity (multi-component Schrödinger cats), together with multi-mode extensions of NOON states. We write level, one- and two-quDit reduced density matrices of symmetric N -quDit states, expressed in the last two cases in terms of collective U( D )-spin operator expectation values. Then, we evaluate level and particle entanglement for symmetric multi-quDit states with linear and von Neumann entropies of the corresponding reduced density matrices. In particular, we analyze the numerical and variational ground state of Lipkin–Meshkov–Glick models of 3-level identical atoms. We also propose an extension of the concept of SU(2)-spin squeezing to SU( D ) and relate it to pairwise D -level atom entanglement. Squeezing parameters and entanglement entropies are good markers that characterize the different quantum phases, and their corresponding critical points, that take place in these interacting D -level atom models.

Entanglement entropy in quasi-symmetric multi-qubit states

Zhihua Li, An Min Wang

We generalize the symmetric multi-qubit states to their q-analogs, whose basis vectors are identified with the q-Dicke states. We study the entanglement entropy in these states and find that entanglement is extruded towards certain regions of the system due to the inhomogeneity aroused by q-deformation. We also calculate entanglement entropy in ground states of a related q-deformed Lipkin–Meshkov–Glick (LMG) model and show that the singularities of entanglement can correctly signify the quantum phase transition points for different strengths of q-deformation.

Study of entanglement in symmetric multi-quDits systems through information diagrams

Julio Guerrero, Antonio Sojo, Alberto Mayorgas +1 more

Along this paper, we analyze the entanglement properties of symmetric multi-quDits systems in a special type of states created from the generalization to U(D) of the usual spin coherent states. By means of parity operators, we define what we call multicomponent Schrödinger cat states as parity adapted coherent states. Introducing the tool of information diagrams, i.e. representations of pairs of entropy measures, we analyze the correlation structure of this type of states and their M-wise reduced density matrices.

Entangling capabilities of symmetric two qubit gates

Swarnamala Sirsi, Veena Adiga, Subramanya Hegde

Our work addresses the problem of generating maximally entangled two spin-1/2 (qubit) symmetric states using NMR, NQR, Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick Hamiltonians. Time evolution of such Hamiltonians provides various logic gates which can be used for quantum processing tasks. Pairs of spin-1/2s have modelled a wide range of problems in physics. Here, we are interested in two spin-1/2 symmetric states which belong to a subspace spanned by the angular momentum basis \\textbarj = 1,μ�;μ = +1, 0,-1. Our technique relies on the decomposition of a Hamiltonian in terms of SU(3) basis matrices. In this context, we define a set of linearly independent, traceless, Hermitian operators which provides an alternate set of SU(n) generators. These matrices are constructed out of angular momentum operators Jx, Jy, Jz. We construct and study the properties of perfect entanglers acting on a symmetric subspace, i.e., spin-1 operators that can generate maximally entangled states from some suitably chosen initial separable states in terms of their entangling power.

Schmidt decomposition of parity adapted coherent states for symmetric multi-quDits

Julio Guerrero, Antonio Sojo, Alberto Mayorgas +1 more

Abstract In this paper we study the entanglement in symmetric N-quDit systems. In particular we use generalizations to U(D) of spin U(2) coherent states (CSs) and their projections on definite parity c ∈ Z 2 D − 1 (multicomponent Schrödinger cat) states and we analyse their reduced density matrices when tracing out M < N quDits. The eigenvalues (or Schmidt coefficients) of these reduced density matrices are completely characterized, allowing to prove a theorem for the decomposition of a N-quDit Schrödinger cat state with a given parity c into a sum over all possible parities of tensor products of Schrödinger cat states of N − M and M particles. Diverse asymptotic properties of the Schmidt eigenvalues are studied and, in particular, for the (rescaled) double thermodynamic limit ( N , M → ∞ , M / N fixed), we reproduce and generalize to quDits known results for photon loss of parity adapted CSs of the harmonic oscillator, thus providing an unified Schmidt decomposition for both multi-quDits and (multi-mode) photons. These results allow to determine the entanglement properties of these states and also their decoherence properties under quDit loss, where we demonstrate the robustness of these states.
