Quantum nonlocality and topological quantum phase transitions in the extended Ising chain

Abstract

We use two-site quantum nonlocality to identify the topological quantum phase transitions (TQPTs) of the extended Ising model driven by varying system parameters. We investigate how the system parameters, including the anisotropies of the nearest-neighbor and the next-nearest-neighbor spin pairs, the transverse magnetic field, and the three-spin interaction, affect the quantum nonlocality. We show that the nonlocality cannot mark any TQPTs while its first derivative can perfectly characterize the TQPTs. By making the influences of the thermal fluctuations and the site distance of spin pairs on the critical behavior of the TQPTs analysis, we show that the sufficiently low temperature has a slight impact on the features of nonlocality and its first derivative while the site distance of spin pairs can significantly alter the properties of nonlocality and its first derivative. We further present the energy spectra and the trajectories of the winding vectors of the model to demonstrate that the quantum nonlocality can be employed to successfully signalize the TQPTs.

Quantum Fisher information in quantum critical systems with topological characterization

Shaoying Yin, Jie Song, Yujun Zhang +1 more

We study the relationship between the quantum Fisher information (QFI) of spin pairs and the topological quantum phase transitions (TQPTs) of the extended XY model driven by the anisotropies of the nearest-neighbor and the next-nearest-neighbor spins, the transverse magnetic field, and the three-spin interaction. We find that the first derivative of QFI can correctly characterize the TQPTs at absolute zero temperature. Meanwhile, the impacts of the thermal fluctuations and the site distance of spin pairs on the critical behaviors of the QFI are studied. It is found that the first derivative of QFI for the nearest neighbor or the long-distance spin pairs can only correctly characterize the critical points of the TQPTs at sufficiently low temperature. Remarkably, when the anisotropy of the nearest-neighbor and the next-nearest-neighbor spins are the driven parameters and the site distance $R=5$, the QFI itself can characterize the TQPTs at absolute zero temperature.

Multipartite quantum nonlocality and Bell-type inequalities in a spin-1/2 model with topological quantum phase transitions

Zhao‐Yu Sun, Hui-Xin Wen, Meng Li +1 more

Multipartite quantum nonlocality and Bell-type inequalities are used to characterize quantum correlations in an infinite-size bond-alternating spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ Heisenberg chain with next-nearest-neighbor interactions. With the help of powerful tensor-network algorithms, both zero and finite temperatures are considered. First, at zero temperature, both in the even-Haldane phase and in the odd-Haldane phase, a high hierarchy of multipartite nonlocality is observed. Nevertheless, in the two phases, the spread of the multipartite nonlocality among the lattice is different. Thereby, the nonlocality measures are relatively large in one phase and vanish in the other phase, and provide quite sharp signals for the topological quantum phase transitions (QPTs) between these two phases. The influence of the next-nearest-neighbor coupling $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ upon the multipartite nonlocality in the model is also discussed. Second, we find that the footprints of the QPTs survive at low temperatures. Third, based upon the scaling behavior of the finite-temperature nonlocality measure, we propose a quantity $\mathcal{K}$ to characterize the finite-temperature nonlocality in the large-$n$ limit. We find that in high-temperature regions, $\mathcal{K}$ is reduced linearly as the temperature rises.

Quantum speed limit and topological quantum phase transition in an extended XY model

Cheng, W.W., Li, B., Gong, L.Y. +1 more

We explore quantum speed limit time τQSL of a qubit system coupling to a spin chain environment which is described by an extended Ising model associated with non-trivial topological characterization. For an initial pure state, we find that τQSL exhibits a behavior of local maximum around all critical points when the environment spin chain undergoes a topological quantum phase transition driven by external magnetic field λ or the anisotropy γ of nearest-neighbor interaction. And the value of local maximum would increase by strengthening the coupling between the system and environment around the critical points. However, the behavior of τQSL are both driving parameters and critical points dependent when the topological quantum phase transition is driven by the three-site interaction α or its anisotropy δ. Additionally, we also investigate τQSL for arbitrary time-evolution state in the whole dynamics process and find that τQSL exhibits a behavior of oscillation at non-critical points. However, τQSL will decay rapidly to zero around all critical points, and such trend accompany with oscillation behavior at some critical points.

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 phases of spin-1/2 extended XY model in transverse magnetic field

Rakesh Kumar Malakar, Asim Kumar Ghosh

Abstract In this study, a spin-1/2 extended anisotropic XY chain has been introduced in which both time reversal and SU(2) symmetries are broken but Z 2 symmetry is preserved. Magnetic and topological phase diagrams in the parameter space have been drawn in the presence of transverse magnetic field. Entanglement measures like mutual information and quantum discord are also evaluated and it indicates that these transitions are second order in nature. Quantum phase transition is noted at zero magnetic field, as well as magnetic long range order is found to withstand magnetic field of any strength. Exact analytic results for spin-spin correlation functions have been obtained in terms of Jordan-Wigner fermionization. Existence of long range magnetic order has been investigated numerically by finding correlation functions as well as the Binder cumulant in the ground state. Dispersion relation, ground state energy, and energy gap are obtained analytically. In order to find the topologically nontrivial phase, sign of Pfaffian invariant and value of winding number have been evaluated. Both magnetic and topological phases are robust against the magnetic field and found to move coercively in the parameter space with the variation of its strength. Long range orders along two orthogonal directions and two different topological phases are found and their one-to-one correspondence has been found. Finally casting the spinless fermions onto Majorana fermions, properties of zero energy edge states are studied. Three different kinds of Majorana pairings are noted. In the trivial phase, next-nearest-neighbor Majorana pairing is found, whereas two different types of nearest-neighbor Majorana pairings are identified in the topological superconducting phase.

Thermal Ising transitions in the vicinity of two-dimensional quantum critical points

Stephan Heßelmann, Stefan Weßel

The scaling of the transition temperature into an ordered phase close to a quantum critical point as well as the order parameter fluctuations inside the quantum critical region provide valuable information about universal properties of the underlying quantum critical point. Here, we employ quantum Monte Carlo simulations to examine these relations in detail for two-dimensional quantum systems that exhibit a finite-temperature Ising-transition line in the vicinity of a quantum critical point that belongs to the universality class of either (i) the three-dimensional Ising model for the case of the quantum Ising model in a transverse magnetic field on the square lattice or (ii) the chiral Ising transition for the case of a half-filled system of spinless fermions on the honeycomb lattice with nearest-neighbor repulsion. While the first case allows large-scale simulations to assess the scaling predictions to a high precision in terms of the known values for the critical exponents at the quantum critical point, for the later case, we extract values of the critical exponents $\ensuremath{\nu}$ and $\ensuremath{\eta}$, related to the order parameter fluctuations, which we discuss in relation to other recent estimates from ground-state quantum Monte Carlo calculations as well as analytical approaches.
