无带隙系统中的非定域序:自旋链中的纠缠谱

Non-local order in gapless systems: Entanglement Spectrum in Spin Chains

Ronny Thomale, D. P. Arovas, B. Andrei Bernevig

摘要:

我们证明了纠缠谱可以用来定义无带隙自旋系统的非定域序。我们发现一个缺口,完全分开了一系列通用的,高的“纠缠能量”的水平,从一个平坦的水平带与特定的多重性,唯一定义的基态,并保持有限的热力学极限。我们选取合适的量子数集合,然后在这个空间中划分系统。这种划分对应于一个非常非局部的实空间切割。尽管Laughlin态是体带隙的,而反铁磁自旋链态是体无带隙的,但我们证明了一维S=1/2海森堡反铁磁体与二维Laughlin分数量子Hall态具有几乎相同的纠缠谱,揭示了它们的低能边和体激发分别具有相似的场论.

英文摘要:

We show that the entanglement spectrum can be used to define non-local order in gapless spin systems. We find a gap that fully separates a series of generic, high `entanglement energy' levels, from a flat band of levels with specific multiplicities that uniquely define the ground-state, and remains finite in the thermodynamic limit. We pick the appropriate set of quantum numbers, and then partition the system in this space. This partition corresponds to a very non-local real-space cut. Despite the fact that the Laughlin state is bulk gapped while the antiferromagnetic spin chain state is bulk gapless, we show that the S=1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet in one dimension has an entanglement spectrum almost identical to that of the Laughlin Fractional Quantum Hall state in two dimensions, revealing the similar field theory of their low-energy edge and bulk excitations respectively.
