An approximation hierarchy, called the lattice-path-based subsystem (LPSUB
m) approximation scheme, is described for the coupled-cluster method (CCM). It is applicable to systems defined on a regular spatial lattice. We then apply it to two well-studied prototypical (spin-
21 Heisenberg antiferromagnetic) spin-lattice models, namely, the
XXZ and the
XY models on the square lattice in two dimensions. Results are obtained in each case for the ground-state energy, the ground-state sublattice magnetization, and the quantum critical point. They are all in good agreement with those from such alternative methods as spin-wave theory, series expansions, quantum Monte Carlo methods, and the CCM using the alternative lattice-animal-based subsystem (LSUB
m) and the distance-based subsystem (DSUB
m) schemes. Each of the three CCM schemes (LSUB
m, DSUB
m, and LPSUB
m) for use with systems defined on a regular spatial lattice is shown to have its own advantages in particular applications.
We discuss a general treatment based on the mean field plus random-phase approximation (RPA) for the evaluation of subsystem entropies and negativities in ground states of spin systems. The approach leads to a tractable general method that becomes straightforward in translationally invariant arrays. The method is examined in arrays of arbitrary spin with
XYZ couplings of general range in a uniform transverse field, where the RPA around both the normal and parity-breaking mean-field state, together with parity-restoration effects, is discussed in detail. In the case of a uniformly connected
XYZ array of arbitrary size, the method is shown to provide simple analytic expressions for the entanglement entropy of any global bipartition, as well as for the negativity between any two subsystems, which become exact for large spin. The limit case of a spin
s pair is also discussed.
Abstract In this paper, we study the additivity of quantum Fisher information (QFI) in a coupled system composed by a two-level system and a bosonic mode, which is described by an anisotropic Rabi model. Utilizing a unitary transformation approach, we obtain the approximate ground state for the global state and the reduced density matrix for each subsystem. We find the additivity of QFI, that is, the summation of QFI for two subsystems is always larger than that of the global system. We hope our work will stimulate the studies of quantum metrology in hybrid system.
