Estimating correlations and entanglement in the two-dimensional Heisenberg model in the strong-rung-coupling limit

Abstract

We consider the isotropic Heisenberg model in a magnetic field in the strong-rung-coupling limit on a two-dimensional (2D) rectangular zig-zag lattice of arbitrary size, and determine the one-dimensional (1D) effective model representing the low-energy manifold of the 2D model up to second order in perturbation theory. We consider a number of Hermitian operators defined on the Hilbert space of the 2D model, and systematically work out their action on the low-energy manifold, which are operators on the Hilbert space of the 1D effective model. For a class of operators among them, we demonstrate that the expectation values computed in the low-energy manifold of the 2D model can be mimicked by the expectation values of the corresponding operators in the 1D effective model even beyond the perturbation regime of the system parameters. We further argue that quantitatively estimating partial trace-based measures of entanglement in the 2D model may be done in the same fashion only in the perturbation regime. Our results and approach are expected to be useful in investigating observables and entanglement in the 2D models with large system sizes due to the advantage of using the effective 1D model with a smaller Hilbert space as a proxy.

Estimating entanglement in 2D Heisenberg model in the strong rung-coupling limit

Chandrima B. Pushpan, K. J. Harikrishnan, Prithvi Narayan +1 more

In this paper, we calculate entanglement in the isotropic Heisenberg model in a magnetic field on a two-dimensional rectangular zig-zag lattice in the strong rung-coupling limit, using the one-dimensional XXZ model as a proxy. Focusing on the leading order in perturbation, for arbitrary size of the lattice, we show how the one-dimensional effective description emerges. We point out specific states in the low-energy sector of the two-dimensional model that are well-approximated by the one-dimensional spin-1/2 XXZ model. We propose a systematic approach for mapping matrix-elements of operators defined on the two-dimensional model to their low-energy counterparts on the one-dimensional XXZ model. We also show that partial trace-based description of entanglement in the two-dimensional model can be satisfactorily approximated using the one-dimensional XXZ model as a substitute. We further show numerically that the one-dimensional XXZ model performs well in estimating entanglement quantified using a measurement-based approach in the two-dimensional model for specific choices of measured Hermitian operators.

Quasi-long-range ordering in a finite-size 2D classical Heisenberg model

O. Kapikranian, Bertrand Berche, Yurij V. Holovatch

We analyse the low-temperature behaviour of the classical isotropic ferromagnetic Heisenberg model on a two-dimensional square lattice of finite size. Presence of a residual magnetization in a finite-size system enables us to use a low-temperature approximation, which is however more restricting than the usual spin-wave approximation known to give reliable results for the XY model at low temperatures T . For the system considered, we find that the spin–spin correlation function decays as 1/ r η( T ) for large separations r bringing about the presence of a quasi-long-range ordering. We give analytic estimates for the exponent η( T ) in different regimes and support our findings by Monte Carlo simulations of the model on lattices of different sizes at different temperatures.

High-precision ground state parameters of the two-dimensional spin-1/2 Heisenberg model on the square lattice

Anders W. Sandvik

Abstract Motivated by the need for high-precision benchmark results for basic quantum many-body models, several ground state properties of the square lattice S = 1 / 2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet are computed (the energy, order parameter, spin stiffness, spinwave velocity, long-wavelength susceptibility and staggered susceptibility) using extensive quantum Monte Carlo simulations with the stochastic series expansion method. Moderately sized lattices are studied at temperatures T sufficiently low to realize the T → 0 limit, with significantly reduced statistical errors relative to previous works. Results for periodic L × L lattices with L ∈ [ 6 , 96 ] are tabulated versus L and extrapolations to infinite system size are carried out. The relative statistical errors of finite-size energies are below 10 −7 . The extrapolated ground state energy density is e 0 = − 0.669 441 857 ( 7 ) , where the number within parentheses is the statistical error (one standard deviation) of the preceding digit. This value represents an improvement in precision of three orders of magnitude over the previous best result. The leading and subleading finite-size corrections to e 0 are in full quantitative agreement with predictions from chiral perturbation theory, thus further supporting the soundness of both the extrapolations and the theory. The extrapolated sublattice magnetization is m s = 0.307 447 ( 2 ) , which agrees well with previous estimates but with a much smaller statistical error. The coefficient of the linear in L −1 correction to m s 2 agrees with the value from chiral perturbation theory and the presence of a factor ln γ ⁡ ( L ) in the second-order correction is also confirmed, with the previously unknown value of the exponent being γ = 0.82 ( 4 ) . The finite-size corrections to the staggered susceptibility point to logarithmic corrections in this quantity as well. To facilitate benchmarking of methods for which periodic boundary conditions are challenging, results for systems with open and cylindrical boundaries are also listed and their spatially inhomogeneous order parameters are analyzed.

Dynamics of correlation spreading in low-dimensional transverse-field Ising models

Ryui Kaneko, Ippei Danshita

We investigate the dynamical spreading of spatial correlations after a quantum quench starting from a magnetically disordered state in the transverse-field Ising model at one (1D) and two spatial dimensions (2D). We analyze specifically the longitudinal and transverse spin-spin correlation functions at equal time with use of several methods. From the comparison of the results in 1D obtained by the linear spin-wave approximation (LSWA) and those obtained by the rigorous analytical approach, we show that the LSWA can asymptotically reproduce the exact group velocity in the limit of strong transverse fields while it fails to capture the detailed time dependence of the correlation functions. By applying the LSWA to the 2D case, in which the rigorous analytical approach is unavailable, we estimate the propagation velocity to be $Ja/(2\ensuremath{\hbar})$ at the strong-field limit, where $J$ is the Ising interaction and $a$ is the lattice spacing. We also utilize the tensor-network method based on the projected-entangled pair states for 2D and quantitatively compute the time evolution of the correlation functions for a relatively short time. Our findings provide useful benchmarks for quantum simulation experiments of correlation spreading and theoretical refinement of the Lieb-Robinson bound in the future.
