量子自旋链中的纠缠谱、临界指数和序参量

Entanglement Spectrum, Critical Exponents and Order Parameters in Quantum Spin Chains

G. De Chiara, L. Lepori, M. Lewenstein, A. Sanpera

摘要:

研究了有限量子自旋链临界态附近的纠缠谱。利用有限尺寸标度,我们表明,当接近量子相变,施密特间隙,即,约化密度矩阵的两个最大本征值之间的差表示临界点,并且用与描述临界点的相应扰动共形场论的相关算子相关的普适临界指数来标度。这样的标度行为使我们能够明确地确定施密特间隙作为一个本地的序参量。

英文摘要:

We investigate the entanglement spectrum near criticality in finite quantum spin chains. Using finite size scaling we show that when approaching a quantum phase transition, the Schmidt gap, i.e., the difference between the two largest eigenvalues of the reduced density matrix, signals the critical point and scales with universal critical exponents related to the relevant operators of the corresponding perturbed conformal field theory describing the critical point. Such scaling behavior allows us to identify explicitly the Schmidt gap as a local order parameter.
