拓扑有序系统中的不可约多体关联

Irreducible many-body correlations in topologically ordered systems

Yang Liu, Bei Zeng, D. L. Zhou

摘要:

拓扑有序系统在其基态中表现出大尺度的相关性,这可以通过诸如拓扑纠缠熵之类的量来表征。我们建议,不可约的多体相关的概念,不能被所有的本地相关暗示,也可以被用来作为一个签名的拓扑秩序。在拓扑有序系统中,我们证明了对于一部分具有空穴的系统,约化的密度矩阵表现出不可约的多体关联,当空穴被去除时,这种关联变得可约。这些不可约的相关性的出现代表了拓扑相的一个关键特征。我们分析了外磁场中复曲面编码模型基态的多体关联结构,并指出拓扑相变是由不可约多体关联信号所指示的。

英文摘要:

Topologically ordered systems exhibit large-scale correlation in their ground states, which may be characterized by quantities such as topological entanglement entropy. We propose that the concept of irreducible many-body correlation, the correlation that cannot be implied by all local correlations, may also be used as a signature of topological order. In a topologically ordered system, we demonstrate that for a part of the system with holes, the reduced density matrix exhibits irreducible many-body correlation which becomes reducible when the holes are removed. The appearance of these irreducible correlations then represents a key feature of topological phase. We analyze the many-body correlation structures in the ground state of the toric code model in an external magnetic field, and show that the topological phase transition is signaled by the irreducible many-body correlations.
