一维自旋$1/2$链折叠的对称保护拓扑序

Symmetry Protected Topological Order by Folding a One-Dimensional Spin-$1/2$ Chain

Pejman Jouzdani

摘要:

我们提出了一个玩具模型与一个折叠的一维自旋链上的哈密顿$H^{(2)}_T$。$H^{(2)}_T$的非平凡基态通过能隙与激发态分离。通过分析模型中的对称性,我们发现拓扑序是由一个$\mathbb{Z}_2$全局对称性保护的。然而,通过使用微扰系列和排除热效应,我们表明,$\mathbb{Z}_2$对称性是稳定的相比,一个标准的最近邻伊辛模型的哈密顿量$H_I$。我们发现,$H^{(2)}_T$是一个家庭的哈密尔顿的一员,是间接连接到$H_I$。此外,这类哈密顿量的推广,他们的绝热连接到$H_I$,和量子纠错码的关系进行了讨论。最后,我们给出了$H^{(2)}_T$的两个基态与不成对的Majorana模之间的对应关系,并给出了数值例子。

英文摘要:

We present a toy model with a Hamiltonian $H^{(2)}_T$ on a folded one-dimensional spin chain. The non-trivial ground states of $H^{(2)}_T$ are separated by a gap from the excited states. By analyzing the symmetries in the model, we find that the topological order is protected by a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ global symmetry. However, by using perturbation series and excluding thermal effects, we show that the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry is stable in comparison to a standard nearest-neighbor Ising model with a Hamiltonian $H_I$. We find that $H^{(2)}_T$ is a member of a family of Hamiltonians that are adiabatically connected to $H_I$. Furthermore, the generalizations of this class of Hamiltonians, their adiabatic connection to $H_I$, and the relation to quantum error-correcting codes are discussed. Finally, we show the correspondence between the two ground states of $H^{(2)}_T$ and the unpaired Majorana modes, and provide numerical examples.
