非平衡噪声下的量子critical states和相变

Quantum critical states and phase transitions in the presence of non equilibrium noise

Emanuele G. Dalla Torre, Eugene Demler, Thierry Giamarchi, Ehud Altman

摘要:

量子临界点的特征是尺度不变关联和相应的长程纠缠。因此,它们提供了物质量子态的迷人例子,对它们的研究一直是现代物理学的重要主题。然而,人们对非平衡条件下量子临界性的命运知之甚少。本文研究了外部噪声源对量子临界点的影响。人们很自然地期望噪声会对有限温度产生类似的影响,破坏量子临界行为背后的微妙相关性。令人惊讶的是,我们发现,在许多有趣的情况下,无处不在的1/f噪声保留了关键的相关性。涌现态显示出内在量子临界和外部噪声驱动的涨落的有趣的相互作用。我们证明了这一普遍现象与具体的例子在固态和超冷原子系统。此外,我们的方法表明,真正的量子相变可以存在,甚至在非平衡条件下。

英文摘要:

Quantum critical points are characterized by scale invariant correlations and correspondingly long ranged entanglement. As such, they present fascinating examples of quantum states of matter, the study of which has been an important theme in modern physics. Nevertheless very little is known about the fate of quantum criticality under non equilibrium conditions. In this paper we investigate the effect of external noise sources on quantum critical points. It is natural to expect that noise will have a similar effect to finite temperature, destroying the subtle correlations underlying the quantum critical behavior. Surprisingly we find that in many interesting situations the ubiquitous 1/f noise preserves the critical correlations. The emergent states show intriguing interplay of intrinsic quantum critical and external noise driven fluctuations. We demonstrate this general phenomenon with specific examples in solid state and ultracold atomic systems. Moreover our approach shows that genuine quantum phase transitions can exist even under non equilibrium conditions.
