Abstract

The geometrical significance of winding number is used to study the topological characteristics of a single-excitation Heisenberg XY spin model represented by the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model. Due to the presence of topological edge states, the quantum state may be conveyed from the first site to the last site with a high degree of fidelity. Also examined is a Heisenberg XY model on the kagome lattice. In the topological phase of the kagome lattice, the three corner states are not affected by the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya (DM) interactions. For the kagome lattice with and without the DM interactions, the state of a spin on one corner site can be transferred to the other two corner sites in various ways during the topological phase. The quantum state transfer (QST) for the XY model on the kagome lattice without the DM interactions is symmetrical and can only produce a three-body entangled state. In contrast, the QST for the XY model on the kagome lattice with the DM interactions is in an asymmetrical form, similar to one-way propagation, and it can produce both product states and three-body entangled states.

Quantum state transfer on square lattices with topology

Mei-Song Wei, Ming-Jie Liao, Yiqing Wang +5 more

The topological properties of a Heisenberg $XY$ spin model on the square lattice in the form of a two-dimensional Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model is investigated through the quench dynamics. Based on the topological edge states or the higher-order topological corner states of the square lattice, we propose a scheme to transmit quantum states with high quality, including single-excitation state and entangled state, on square lattices. For the transmission of the single-excitation state, when the square lattice is in the topological phase, the maximum fidelity at the corner sites of the lattice is much larger than that of bulk sites. In addition, it has been found that, due to the different symmetries of the spin ladder and the square lattice, the maximally entangled state can be generated between two qubits when a qubit at the edge of the spin ladder is excited initially, while it cannot be generated between two qubits at the corners of the square lattice. However, the maximally entangled state of two qubits at the edge of the spin ladder or the corners of the lattice can both be transmitted to the two qubits at the other side of the lattices with high quality.

Topological quantum state transfer beyond the single-excitation assumption

Xiao‐Lei Hao, X. Y. Zhang, X. X. Yi

As is well known, within the single-excitation subspace, the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model exhibits a remarkable ability to transfer an excitation from one end of the lattice to the other. In this work, by relaxing the restriction of the single excitation, we find that a topological channel formed by the topological edge modes of the SSH model can also realize the transfer of arbitrary Gaussian states. Specifically, we investigate the state transfer process within a one-dimensional (1D) optomechanical lattice, which can be mapped to the SSH model with tunable coupling strength. By initially preparing the first optical mode in a squeezed vacuum state and adiabatically varying the system parameters over a full cycle, the squeezed vacuum state can be transferred to the $N\mathrm{th}$ mechanical mode. Furthermore, we extend our investigation to the transfer of arbitrary Gaussian states. Since Gaussian states can be described by the covariance matrix of the system, we reformulate the evolution equation of the covariance matrix in a Schr\"odinger-type equation. This reformulation provides us with an intuitive way to show how an arbitrary Gaussian state is transferred. Our work broadens the application of topological systems for quantum state transfer, demonstrating that not only single-excitation states but also arbitrary Gaussian states, which include multiple excitations and quantum coherence, can be efficiently transferred, with potential implications for quantum information processing.

Universal Phase Correction for Quantum State Transfer in One-Dimensional Topological Spin Chains

Tian Tian, Yingnan Yan, Shizhen Wang

Gap-protected topological channels are a promising way to realize robust and high-fidelity state transfer in quantum networks. Although various topological transfer protocols based on the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model or its variants have been proposed, the phase accumulation during the evolution, as an essential aspect, is underestimated. Here, by numerically studying the phase information of quantum state transfer (QST) in one-dimensional (1D) topological spin chains, we uncover a universal phase correction ϕ0=(N−1)π/2 for both adiabatic and diabatic topological schemes. Interestingly, the site-number-dependent phase correction satisfies Z4 symmetry and is equally effective for perfect mirror transmission in spin chains. Our work reveals a universal phase correction in 1D topologically protected QST, which will prompt a reevaluation of the topological protection mechanism in quantum systems.

Geometrical phases and entanglement in real space for 1D SSH topological insulator: effects of first and second neighbor-hoppings and intra-cell modulation

Leonardo A. Navarro-Labastida, Francisco A. Domínguez-Serna, F. Rojas

We study the hybrid atoms-cell site entanglement in one-dimensional Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) topological insulator with first, second neighbor-hopping interaction and intra-cell modulation, in space representation of finite chains. We determine the geometric phases by the Resta electric polarization and the entanglement in the atomic basis by the Schmidt number as metric of the degree of non-classicity, the maximally entangled quantum states are characterized by the inverse participation ratio IPR. A relation between entanglement and the topological phase transitions (TPT) are found, since the Schmidt number presented critical points of maximally entangled (ME) states just in the singularities of the change of the winding number for the nearest states to the zero mode energy and shifted for higher energy state.We present the general conditions that has to be satisfy to produce a ME hybrid Bell states. We obtain that the states with second neighbors, with two phases, shows a higher degree of entanglement than the first order hopping. We obtain parameter conditions with broad regions for non null topological phases that can have maximum entanglement. We find a robust relation between entanglement and the inverse participation ratio (IPR) for the the eigenstates with ME which are associated to maximum delocalization in both models. The amplitude distribution for each atom are spatially localized in cell site showing a bunching in cell sets. The intra-cell modulation provides a better connection between entanglement and electric polarization with a periodical driven period. The study of topological properties through entanglement is an complementary tool for determining macroscopic properties and analyzing more complex systems with many-body particles or higher dimensions.

Topological phases and entanglement in real space for 1D SSH topological insulator: effects of first and second neighbor-hoppings

Leonardo A. Navarro-Labastida, Francisco A. Domínguez-Serna, F. Rojas

The hybrid atoms-cell site entanglement in a one-dimensional Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) topological insulator with first and second neighbor hopping interaction in space representation of finite chains is analyzed. The geometric phase is calculated by the Resta electric polarization and the entanglement in the atomic basis by the Schmidt number. A relation between entanglement and the topological phase transitions (TPT) is given since the Schmidt number has critical points of maximal entangled (ME) states in the singularities of the geometrical phase. States with second-neighbors have higher entanglement than first-order hopping. The general conditions to produce ME hybrid Bell states and the localization-entanglement relation are given.

Topological phase diagram of generalized Su-Schrieffer-Heeger models with interactions

Yuxiao Hang, Stephan Haas

We investigate interacting Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) chains with two- and three-site unit cells using density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) simulations. By selecting appropriate filling fractions and sweeping across interaction strength ${J}_{z}$ and dimerization $\ensuremath{\delta}$, we map out their phase diagrams and identify transition lines via entanglement entropy and magnetization measurements. In the two-site model, we observe the emergence of an interaction-induced antiferromagnetic intermediate phase between the topologically trivial and nontrivial regimes, as well as a critical region at negative ${J}_{z}$ with suppressed magnetization and finite-size scaling of entanglement entropy. In contrast, the three-site model lacks an intermediate phase and exhibits asymmetric edge localization and antiferromagnetic ordering in both positive and negative ${J}_{z}$ regimes. We further examine the response of edge states to Ising perturbations. In the two-site model, zero-energy edge modes are topologically protected and remain robust up to a finite interaction strength. However, in the three-site model, where the edge states reside at finite energy, this protection breaks down. Despite this, the edge-localized nature of these states survives in the form of polarized modes whose spatial profiles reflect the noninteracting limit.
