Abstract

The critical behaviors of the steered quantum coherence (SQC) in the transverse field XY model with Dzyaloshinsky–Moriya (DM) interaction are explored. It is found that there is an inflexion for the SQC at the critical field of quantum phase transition (QPT) for two long‐distance spins, and there is a divergence for the derivative of the SQC with respect to the magnetic field at the critical field of QPT for any two spins in the chain. Moreover, SQC shows distinct behaviors in different phase regions of the model, which is also a signature of the QPT. Furthermore, the SQC method is robust in studying quantum criticality even under environmental coupling.

Steered quantum coherence as a signature of quantum phase transitions in spin chains

Ming‐Liang Hu, Yun-Yue Gao, Heng Fan

We propose to use the steered quantum coherence (SQC) as a signature of quantum phase transitions (QPTs). By considering various spin chain models, including the transverse-field Ising model, $\mathit{XY}$ model, and $\mathit{XX}$ model with three-spin interaction, we showed that the SQC and its first-order derivative succeed in signaling different critical points of QPTs. In particular, the SQC method is effective for any spin pair chosen from the chain, and the strength of SQC, in contrast to entanglement and quantum discord, is insensitive to the distance (provided it is not very short) of the tested spins, which makes it convenient for practical use as there is no need for careful choice of two spins in the chain.

Steered Quantum Coherence as a Signature of Topological Quantum Phase Transitions in the Extended XY Model

Ming‐Ming Du, Shi‐Pu Gu, Wei Zhong +3 more

Abstract In recent years, there has been a surge of interest in exploring coherence measures and correlation measures to characterize topological quantum phase transitions (TQPTs). Here, motivated by the continued push in this direction, the steered quantum coherence (SQC) in the extended XY model is studied to analyze its capability in characterizing TQPTs. It is shown that the first derivative of SQC succeeds in signaling different critical points of TQPTs. In particular, it is found that the SQC is a long‐range correlation and the first derivative of SQC can always accurately identify TQPTs for different site distance.

Quantum coherence of planar spin models with Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction

Chandrashekar Radhakrishnan, Igor Ermakov, Tim Byrnes

The quantum coherence of one-dimensional planar spin models with Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction is investigated. The anisotropic XY model, the isotropic XX model, and the transverse field model are studied in the large $N$ limit using two qubit reduced density matrices and two point correlation functions. From our investigations we find that the coherence as measured using Jensen-Shannon divergence can be used to detect quantum phase transitions and quantum critical points. The derivative of coherence shows nonanalytic behavior at critical points, leading to the conclusion that these transitions are of second order. Further, we show that the presence of Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya coupling suppresses the phase transition due to residual ferromagnetism, which is caused by spin canting.

Geometric phases and quantum phase transitions in inhomogeneous XY spin-chains: Effect of the Dzyaloshinski–Moriya interaction

Lincheng Wang, Yan Jun-yan, Yi Xue-Xi

We study geometric phases of the ground states of inhomogeneous XY spin chains in transverse fields with Dzyaloshinski–Moriya (DM) interaction, and investigate the effect of the DM interaction on the quantum phase transition (QPT) of such spin chains. The results show that the DM interaction could influence the distribution of the regions of QPTs but could not produce new critical points for the spin-chain. This study extends the relation between geometric phases and QPTs.

Critical entanglement and geometric phase of a two-qubit model with Dzyaloshinski–Moriya anisotropic interaction

Li Zhi-Jian, Xinlu Cheng, Wen Jiao-Jin

We consider a two-qubit system described by the Heisenberg XY model with Dzyaloshinski–Moriya (DM) anisotropic interaction in a perpendicular magnetic field to investigate the relation between entanglement, geometric phase and quantum phase transition (QPT). It is shown that the DM interaction has an effect on the critical boundary. The combination of entanglement and geometric phase may characterize QPT completely. Their jumps mean that the occurrence of QPT and inversely the QPT at the critical point at least corresponds to a jump of one of them.

Quantum entanglement and quantum phase transition in the XY model with staggered Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction

Fu-Wu Ma, Shengxin Liu, Xiang-Mu Kong

We study the quantum entanglement and quantum phase transition (QPT) of the anisotropic spin-$1/2$ $XY$ model with staggered Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction by means of the quantum renormalization group method. The scaling of coupling constants and the critical points of the system are obtained. It is found that when the number of renormalization group iterations tends to infinity, the system exhibit a QPT between the spin-fluid and N\'eel phases which correspond with two saturated values of the concurrence for a given value of the strength of DM interaction. The DM interaction can enhance the entanglement and influence the QPT of the system. To gain further insight, the first derivative of the entanglement exhibit a nonanalytic behavior at the critical point and it directly associates with the divergence of the correlation length. This shows that the correlation length exponent is closely related to the critical exponent, i.e., the scaling behaviors of the system.
