Entanglement in quantum field theory via wavelet representations

Daniel J. George, Yuval R. Sanders, Mohsen Bagherimehrab +2 more

Quantum field theory (QFT) describes nature using continuous fields, but physical properties of QFT are usually revealed in terms of measurements of observables at a finite resolution. We describe a multiscale representation of free scalar bosonic and Ising model fermionic QFTs using wavelets. Making use of the orthogonality and self-similarity of the wavelet basis functions, we demonstrate some well-known relations such as scale-dependent subsystem entanglement entropy and renormalization of correlations in the ground state. We also find some new applications of the wavelet transform as a compressed representation of ground states of QFTs which can be used to illustrate quantum phase transitions via fidelity overlap and holographic entanglement of purification.

Holographic Construction of Quantum Field Theory using Wavelets

Sukhwinder Singh, Gavin K. Brennen

Wavelets encode data at multiple resolutions, which in a wavelet description of a quantum field theory, allows for fields to carry, in addition to space-time coordinates, an extra dimension: scale. A recently introduced Exact Holographic Mapping [C.H. Lee and X.-L. Qi, Phys. Rev. B 93, 035112 (2016)] uses the Haar wavelet basis to represent the free Dirac fermionic quantum field theory (QFT) at multiple renormalization scales thereby inducing an emergent bulk geometry in one higher dimension. This construction is, in fact, generic and we show how higher families of Daubechies wavelet transforms of 1+1 dimensional scalar bosonic QFT generate a bulk description with a variable rate of renormalization flow. In the massless case, where the boundary is described by conformal field theory, the bulk correlations decay with distance consistent with an Anti-de-Sitter space (AdS3) metric whose radius of curvature depends on the wavelet family used. We propose an experimental demonstration of the bulk/boundary correspondence via a digital quantum simulation using Gaussian operations on a set of quantum harmonic oscillator modes.

General formula for finding mother wavelets by virtue of Dirac's representation theory and the coherent state

Hong-Yi Fan, Lu Hai-Liang

The admissibility condition of a mother wavelet is explored in the context of quantum optics theory. By virtue of Dirac's representation theory and the coherent state property we derive a general formula for finding qualified mother wavelets. A comparison between a wavelet transform computed with the newly found mother wavelet and one computed with a Mexican hat wavelet is presented.
