These models can be solved by using the method of graded algebraic Bethe ansatz. We use it to design graded tensor networks which can be contracted approximately to obtain a Matrix Product State. This overcomes a major shortcoming of current density matrix renormal- ization group (DMRG) methods which work well on the ground states, but have difficulty working with the excited states of such models. In addition, observables such as correlation functions are important as they are experimentally measurable, but have been analytically described in the double scaling limit only.

    R´enyi entropy of highly entangled spin chains Fumihiko Sugino∗ and Vladimir Korepiny ∗ Fields, Gravity & Strings Group, Center for Theoretical Physics of the Universe, Institute for Basic Science (IBS), 55, Expo-ro, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon 34126, Republic of Korea y C.N.Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics, Stony Brook University, NY 11794, USA [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Entanglement is one of the most intriguing features of quantum theory and a main resource in quantum information science. Ground states of quantum many-body systems with local interactions typically obey an \area law" meaning the entanglement entropy proportional to the boundary length. It is exceptional when the system is gapless, and the area law had been believed to be violated by at most a logarithm for over two decades. Recent discovery of Motzkin and Fredkin spin chain models is striking, since these models provide significant violation of the entanglement beyond the belief, growing as a square root of the volume in spite of local interactions. Although importance of intensive study of the models is undoubted to reveal novel features of quantum entanglement, it is still far from their complete understanding. In this article, we first analytically compute the R´enyi entropy of the Motzkin and Fredkin models by careful treatment of asymptotic analysis. The R´enyi entropy is an important quantity, since the whole spectrum of an entangled subsystem is reconstructed once the R´enyi entropy is known as a function of its parameter. We find non-analytic behavior of the R´enyi entropy with respect to the parameter, which is a novel phase transition never seen in any other spin chain studied arXiv:1806.04049v3 [hep-th] 20 Sep 2018 so far.

  • Slow Mixing of Glauber Dynamics for the Six-Vertex Model in the Ordered Phases
    Slow Mixing of Glauber Dynamics for the Six-Vertex Model in the Ordered Phases Matthew Fahrbach∗ and Dana Randall† School of Computer Science, Georgia Institute of Technology December 23, 2020 Abstract The six-vertex model in statistical physics is a weighted generalization of the ice model on (i.e., Eulerian orientations) and the zero-temperature three-state Potts model (i.e., proper three-colorings). The phase diagram of the model depicts its physical properties and suggests where local Markov chains2 will be ecient. In this paper, we analyze the mixing time of Glauber dynamics for the six-vertexℤ model in the ordered phases. Specically, we show that for all Boltzmann weights in the ferroelectric phase, there exist boundary conditions such that local Markov chains require exponential time to converge to equilibrium. This is the rst rigorous result bounding the mixing time of Glauber dynamics in the ferroelectric phase. Our analysis demonstrates a fundamental connection between correlated random walks and the dynamics of intersecting lattice path models (or routings). We analyze the Glauber dynamics for the six-vertex model with free boundary conditions in the antiferroelectric phase and signicantly extend the region for which local Markov chains are known to be slow mixing. This result relies on a Peierls argument and novel properties of weighted non-backtracking walks. arXiv:1904.01495v2 [cs.DS] 22 Dec 2020 ∗Email: [email protected].

Sofia 64, 95127 Catania, Italy and 9 LANEF 'Chaire d'excellence', Universit`eGrenoble-Alpes & CNRS, F-38000 Grenoble, France (Dated: December 19, 2018) We study an ultracold atomic gas with attractive interactions in a one-dimensional optical lattice. We find that its excitation spectrum displays a quantum soliton band, corresponding to N-particle bound states, and a continuum band of other, mostly extended, states. For a system of a finite size, the two branches are degenerate in energy for weak interactions, while a gap opens above a threshold value of the interaction strength. We find that the interplay between degenerate extended and bound states has important consequences for both static and dynamical properties of the system.

  • The Hubbard Dimer: a Density Functional Case Study of a Many-Body Problem
    The Hubbard Dimer: A density functional case study of a many-body problem D. J. Carrascal1;2, J. Ferrer1;2, J. C. Smith3 and K. Burke3 1 Department of Physics, Universidad de Oviedo, 33007 Oviedo, Spain 2 Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology Research Center, Oviedo, Spain and 3 Departments of Chemistry and of Physics, University of California, Irvine, CA 92697, USA (Dated: September 3, 2015) This review explains the relationship between density functional theory and strongly correlated models using the simplest possible example, the two-site Hubbard model. The relationship to traditional quantum chemistry is included. Even in this elementary example, where the exact ground-state energy and site occupations can be found analytically, there is much to be explained in terms of the underlying logic and aims of Density Functional Theory. Although the usual solution is analytic, the density functional is given only implicitly. We overcome this difficulty using the Levy-Lieb construction to create a parametrization of the exact function with negligible errors. The symmetric case is most commonly studied, but we find a rich variation in behavior by including asymmetry, as strong correlation physics vies with charge-transfer effects. We explore the behavior of the gap and the many-body Green's function, demonstrating the `failure' of the Kohn-Sham method to reproduce the fundamental gap. We perform benchmark calculations of the occupation and components of the KS potentials, the correlation kinetic energies, and the adiabatic connection. We test several approximate functionals (restricted and unrestricted Hartree-Fock and Bethe Ansatz Local Density Approximation) to show their successes and limitations.

  • Deforming the Fredkin Spin Chain Away from Its Frustration-Free Point
    Deforming the Fredkin spin chain away from its frustration-free point Khagendra Adhikari∗ and K. S. D. Beachy Department of Physics and Astronomy, The University of Mississippi, University, Mississippi 38677, USA The Fredkin model describes a spin-half chain segment subject to three-body, correlated-exchange interactions and twisted boundary conditions. The model is frustration-free, and its ground state wave function is known exactly. Its low-energy physics is that of a strong xy ferromagnet with gapless excitations and an unusually large dynamical exponent. We study a generalized spin chain model that includes the Fredkin model as a special tuning point and otherwise interpolates between the conventional ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic quantum Heisenberg models. We solve for the low-lying states, using exact diagonalization and density-matrix renormalization group calculations, in order to track the properties of the system as it is tuned away from the Fredkin point; we also present exact analytical results that hold right at the Fredkin point. We identify a zero-temperature phase diagram with multiple transitions and unexpected ordered phases. The Fredkin ground state turns out to be particularly brittle, unstable to even infinitesimal antiferromagnetic frustration. We remark on the existence of an “anti-Fredkin” point at which all the contributing spin configurations have a spin structure exactly opposite to those in the Fredkin ground state. I. INTRODUCTION z Stot = 0 The construction of a spin-1 quantum spin chain with an dimerization pattern z AFM exactly solvable ground state [1] and its later generalization to I = spin-S (for all integer S > 1) by Movassagh and Shor [2] have proved to be incredibly fruitful developments.
