New Class of Level Statistics in Correlated Disordered Chains

Abstract

We study the properties of the level statistics of 1D disordered systems with long-range spatial correlations. We find a threshold value in the degree of correlations below which in the limit of large system size the level statistics follows a Poisson distribution (as expected for 1D uncorrelated-disordered systems), and above which the level statistics is described by a new class of distribution functions. At the threshold, we find that with increasing system size, the standard deviation of the function describing the level statistics converges to the standard deviation of the Poissonian distribution as a power law. Above the threshold we find that the level statistics is characterized by different functional forms for different degrees of correlations.

Stochastic and long-distance level spacing statistics in many-body localization

Hong-Ze Xu, Fei-Hong Liu, Shunyao Zhang +2 more

From the random matrix theory all the energy levels should be strongly correlated due to the presence of all off-diagonal entries.In this work we introduce two new statistics to more accurately characterize these long-distance interactions in the disordered many-body systems with only short-range interaction. In the $(p, q)$ statistics, we directly measure the long distance energy level spacings, while in the second approach, we randomly eliminate some of the energy levels, and then measure the reserved $η\%$ energy levels using nearest-neighbor level spacings. We benchmark these results using the results in standard Gaussian ensembles. Some analytical distribution functions with extremely high accuracy are derived, which automatically satisfy the inverse relation and duality relation. These two measurements satisfy the same universal scaling law during the transition from the Gaussian ensembles to the Poisson ensemble, with critical disorder strength and corresponding exponent are independent of these measurements. These results shade new insight into the stability of many-body localized phase and their universal properties in the disordered many-body systems.

Energy-level statistics in strongly disordered systems with power-law hopping

Paraj Titum, Victor L. Quito, Sergey Syzranov

Motivated by neutral excitations in disordered electronic materials and systems of trapped ultracold particles with long-range interactions, we study energy-level statistics of quasiparticles with the power-law hopping Hamiltonian $\ensuremath{\propto}1/{r}^{\ensuremath{\alpha}}$ in a strong random potential. In solid-state systems such quasiparticles, which are exemplified by neutral dipolar excitations, lead to long-range correlations of local observables and may dominate energy transport. Focusing on the excitations in disordered electronic systems, we compute the energy-level correlation function ${R}_{2}(\ensuremath{\omega})$ in a finite system in the limit of sufficiently strong disorder. At small energy differences, the correlations exhibit Wigner-Dyson statistics. In particular, in the limit of very strong disorder the energy-level correlation function is given by ${R}_{2}(\ensuremath{\omega},V)={A}_{3}\frac{\ensuremath{\omega}}{{\ensuremath{\omega}}_{V}}$ for small frequencies $\ensuremath{\omega}\ensuremath{\ll}{\ensuremath{\omega}}_{V}$ and ${R}_{2}(\ensuremath{\omega},V)=1\ensuremath{-}(\ensuremath{\alpha}\ensuremath{-}d){A}_{1}{\left(\frac{{\ensuremath{\omega}}_{V}}{\ensuremath{\omega}}\right)}^{\frac{d}{\ensuremath{\alpha}}}\ensuremath{-}{A}_{2}{\left(\frac{{\ensuremath{\omega}}_{V}}{\ensuremath{\omega}}\right)}^{2}$ for large frequencies $\ensuremath{\omega}\ensuremath{\gg}{\ensuremath{\omega}}_{V}$, where ${\ensuremath{\omega}}_{V}\ensuremath{\propto}{V}^{\ensuremath{-}\frac{\ensuremath{\alpha}}{d}}$ is the characteristic matrix element of excitation hopping in a system of volume $V$, and ${A}_{1},{A}_{2}$, and ${A}_{3}$ are coefficients of order unity which depend on the shape of the system. The energy-level correlation function, which we study, allows for a direct experimental observation, for example, by measuring the correlations of the ac conductance of the system at different frequencies.

The excitation statistics of disordered strongly correlated systems

Richard Berkovits, Y. Avishai

The level statistics of a tight-binding Hamiltonian describing strongly interacting particles in a disordered system is investigated. It is found to be characterized by two transitions as functions of interaction strength. The first is from Poisson statistics to Wigner (GOE) statistics as interactions between the particles are turned on, and the second is back to Poisson statistics as the interactions become stronger. The dependences of both transitions on the interaction strength, filling factor, size of the sample, disorder and range of interactions are considered. Possible experimental consequences are discussed.

A FUNCTIONAL RENORMALIZATION GROUP APPROACH TO SYSTEMS WITH LONG-RANGE CORRELATED DISORDER

Andrei A. Fedorenko

We studied the statics and dynamics of elastic manifolds in disordered media with long-range correlated disorder using functional renormalization group (FRG). We identified different universality classes and computed the critical exponents and universal amplitudes describing geometric and velocity-force characteristics. In contrast to uncorrelated disorder, the statistical tilt symmetry is broken resulting in a nontrivial response to a transverse tilting force. For instance, the vortex lattice in disordered superconductors shows a new glass phase whose properties interpolate between those of the Bragg and Bose glasses formed by pointlike and columnar disorder, respectively. Whereas there is no response in the Bose glass phase (transverse Meissner effect), the standard linear response expected in the Bragg-glass gets modified to a power law response in the presence of disorder correlations. We also studied the long distance properties of the O(N) spin system with random fields and random anisotropies correlated as 1/x^{d-sigma}. Using FRG we obtained the phase diagram in (d,sigma,N)-parameter space and computed the corresponding critical exponents. We found that below the lower critical dimension 4+sigma, there can exist two different types of quasi-long-range-order with zero order-parameter but infinite correlation length.

Discrete disorder models for many-body localization

Jakub Janarek, Dominique Delande, Jakub Zakrzewski

Using exact diagonalization technique, we investigate the many-body localization phenomenon in the 1D Heisenberg chain comparing several disorder models. In particular we consider a family of discrete distributions of disorder strengths and compare the results with the standard uniform distribution. Both statistical properties of energy levels and the long time nonergodic behavior are discussed. The results for different discrete distributions are essentially identical to those obtained for the continuous distribution, provided the disorder strength is rescaled by the standard deviation of the random distribution. Only for the binary distribution significant deviations are observed.

Level statistics of the one-dimensional dimerized Hubbard model

Karin Haderlein, David J. Luitz, Corinna Kollath +1 more

Abstract The statistical properties of level spacings provide valuable insights into the dynamical properties of a many-body quantum systems. We investigate the level statistics of the Fermi–Hubbard model with dimerized hopping amplitude and find that after taking into account translation, reflection, spin and η pairing symmetries to isolate irreducible blocks of the Hamiltonian, the level spacings in the limit of large system sizes follow the distribution expected for hermitian random matrices from the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble. We show this by analyzing the distribution of the ratios of consecutive level spacings in this system, its cumulative distribution and quantify the deviations of the distributions using their mean, standard deviation and skewness.
