Memory effects in classical and quantum mean-field disordered models

Leticia F. Cugliandolo, Gustavo Sergio Lozano, H. Lozza

We apply the Kovacs experimental protocol to classical and quantum p-spin models. We show that these models have memory effects as those observed experimentally in super-cooled polymer melts. We discuss our results in connection to other classical models that capture memory effects. We propose that a similar protocol applied to quantum glassy systems might be useful to understand their dynamics. 1 1

Classical spin models with broken symmetry: Random-field-induced order and persistence of spontaneous magnetization in the presence of a random field

Anindita Bera, Debraj Rakshit, Maciej Lewenstein +3 more

We consider classical spin models of two- and three-dimensional spins with continuous symmetry and investigate the effect of a symmetry-breaking unidirectional quenched disorder on the magnetization of the system. We work in the mean-field regime. We show by perturbative calculations and numerical simulations that although the continuous symmetry of the magnetization is lost due to disorder, the system still magnetizes in specific directions, albeit with a lower value as compared to the case without disorder. The critical temperature at which the system starts magnetizing and the magnetization at low- and high-temperature limits in the presence of disorder are estimated. Moreover, we treat the $\mathrm{SO}(n) n$-component spin model to obtain the generalized expressions for the near-critical scalings, which suggest that the effect of disorder in magnetization increases with increasing dimension. We also study the behavior of magnetization of the classical $XY$ spin model in the presence of a constant magnetic field, in addition to the quenched disorder. We find that in the presence of the uniform magnetic field, disorder may enhance the component of magnetization in the direction that is transverse to the disordered field.

Multiphoton Quantum Simulation of the Generalized Hopfield Memory Model

Gennaro Zanfardino, Stefano Paesani, Luca Leuzzi +5 more

In the present Letter, we introduce, develop, and investigate a connection between multiphoton quantum interference, a core element of emerging photonic quantum technologies, and Hopfield-like Hamiltonians of classical neural networks, the paradigmatic models for associative memory and machine learning in systems of artificial intelligence. Specifically, we show that combining a system composed of N_{ph} indistinguishable photons in superposition over M field modes, a controlled array of M binary phase shifters, and a linear-optical interferometer, yields output photon statistics described by means of a p-body Hopfield Hamiltonian of M Ising-like neurons ±1, with p=2N_{ph}. We investigate in detail the generalized four-body Hopfield model obtained through this procedure, undergoing a transition from a memory retrieval to a memory black-out regime, i.e., a spin-glass phase, as the amount of stored memory increases. The mapping enables novel routes to the realization and investigation of disordered and complex classical systems via efficient photonic quantum simulators and describes aspects of structured photonic systems in terms of classical spin Hamiltonians.
