Ground State and out of equilibrium fidelities: from quantum phase transitions to equilibration dynamics
KITPC April 2011
(Quantum) Phase Transition: dramatic change of the (ground) state properties of a quantum system with respectA smooth change of some control parameter e.g., temperature, external field, coupling constant,…
Characterization of PTs:“Traditional”:Local Order parameter (OP), symmetry breaking (SB)(correlation functions/length) Landau-Ginzburg frameworkSmoothness of the (GS) Free-energy (I, II,.. order QPTs)Quantum Information views:Quantum Entanglement (concurrence, block entanglement,..)Geometrical Phases
Question: How to map out the phase diagram of a system with no a priori knowledge of its symmetries and ops?Question: How to map out the phase diagram of a system with no a priori knowledge of its symmetries and ops?
Ground State of
F is a universal (Hilbert space) geometrical quantity:No a priori understanding of the SB pattern or OP is needed

At the quantum critical points (QCPs) F should have a sharp drop i.e., the induced metric d should have a sharp increase. Weak topology vs norm topology: a METRIC APPROACH

THE KEY (naive) IDEA
Answer(?): distinguishability =distance in the information spaceAnswer(?): distinguishability =distance in the information space
THE XY Model (I)
=anysotropy parameter, =external magnetic field
QCPs:
XX line II-order QPT
Ferro/para-magnetic II order QPT
Jordan-Wigner mapping H Free-Fermion system: EXACTLY SOLVABLE!
Quasi-particle spectrum: zeroes in the TDL in all the QCPs Gaplessness of the many-body spectrum
THE XY Model (II)
Ground State
Fidelity
Strong L-dependent peak at universality features in the TDL
Orthogonalization in the TDL: enhanced @ QCPs!

Different Time-Scales & Characteristic quantities
•Relaxation Time (to get to a small value by dephasing and oscillate around it)
•Revivals Time (signal strikes back due to re-phasing)
Q1: how all these depend on H, , and system size?Q1: how all these depend on H, , and system size?

Typical Time Pattern of L(t)
Transverse Ising (N=100)
For a given initial state L-echo is a RV over the time line [0,∞) with Prob Meas
Characteristic function of
Probability distribution of L-echo
Goal: study P(y) to extract global information about theEquilibration process Goal: study P(y) to extract global information about theEquilibration process
1 Moments of P(y)
Each moment is a RV over the unit sphere (Haar measure) of initial states
Mean:
Long time average of L(t) is the purity of the time-averagedensity matrix (or 1 -Linear Entropy)
Question: How about the other moments e.g., variance andinitial state dependence? Are there “typical” values?Question: How about the other moments e.g., variance andinitial state dependence? Are there “typical” values?

Ising in transverse field:
Large size limit (TDL)==> spec(H) quasi-continuous ==> Large t limits exist (R-L Lemma) =time averages
Inverting limits I.e., 1st t-average, 2nd TDL
•g and s are qualitatively the same but when we consider different phases
(m=band min, M=band max
First Two Moments
P(L=y) Different Regimes
• Large ==>L for (moderately) large (quasi) exponential
• Small and close to criticality a) Exponentialb) Quasi critical I.e., universal “Batman Hood”
• Small and off critical a) Exponential b) Otherwise Gaussian
L=18, h(1)=0.3, h(2)=1.4 L=20, h(1)=0.1, h(2)=0.11
L=40, h(1)=0.99, h(2)=1.1
+ n-body spectrum contributions
Different regimes depend on how manyfrequencies have a non-negligible weight
L=20,30,40,60,120
h(1)=0.2, h(2)=0.6
L=10,20,30,40
h(1)=0.9, h(2)=1.2

Summary Part I•We analyze the phase diagram of a systems in terms
of the induced geometric tensor Q on the parameter space
•Boundaries bewteen different phases can be detected by singularities of Q (real & immaginary parts)
•Q and related functions show critical scaling behaviour andUniversality (response function representation)

•Extensions to finite temperature and to classical systems
Summary Part IISummary Part II
•Unitary equilibrations: measure convergence/concentration
•Moments of Probability distribution of LE (large time)
•Transverse Ising chain: mean, variance, regimes for P(L)
•Universal content of the short-time behaviorof L(t) and criticality

Quantum Fidelity and Thermodynamics
Uhlmann fidelity between Gibbs states of the same Hamiltonianat different temperatures =partition function
Singularities of the specific heat shows up at the fidelity level:Divergencies e.g., lambda points, results in a singular drop of fidelity
Temperature driven phase transitions can be detected by mixed state fidelity in both classical and quantum systems!

The “Hey dude! If you have the GS you have EVERYTHING…” Slide
The “Hey dude! If you have the GS you have EVERYTHING…” Slide
Ok cool. Let’s suppose you’re somehow given the GS e.g.,a MPS
Please, now tell me where the QCPs are….
“Great! Now I compute the OP and its correlations! ….”Well… you have infinitely many candidates: Which one?!? and perhaps none of them is gonna work out (e.g., TOPorder)…
“Ok, fair enough, then I compute the energy!”I see, so you want also the H? You didn’t ask for that so far…Anyways, here we go: identically vanishing E(g)=0….
You may answer:
Qualitative: the difference between the means should be(much) bigger than the finite size variances….
Quantitative: Fisher Information metric
Problem: Quantumly each Q-preparation defines infinitelymany prob distributions, one for each observable: one has to maximize over all possible experiments!
d(P,Q)= number of (asymptotically) distinguishable preparations between P and Q: ds=dX/Variance(X)d(P,Q)= number of (asymptotically) distinguishable preparations between P and Q: ds=dX/Variance(X)
Distinguishability of Exps Distance in Prob space
Surprise!
Projective Hilbert space distance!
(Wootters 1981)
Statistical distance and geometrical one collapse:
Hilbert space geometry is (quantum) information geometry…..Question: What about non pure preparations ?!?
Answer: Bures metric & Uhlmann fidelity!(Braunstein Caves 1994)
Remark: In the classical case one has commuting objects, simplification ….
Q-fidelity!
