拓扑流形上的共形热张量网络与泛熵

Conformal Thermal Tensor Network and Universal Entropy on Topological Manifolds

Lei Chen, Hao-Xin Wang, Lei Wang, Wei Li

摘要:

定义了量子临界系统的配分函数,用共形热张量网络表示,它可以在各种流形上产生普适熵修正。通过高精度张量网络模拟几个量子链,我们确定了Klein瓶上的普适熵$S_{\mathcal{K}} = \ln{k}$,其中$k$与共形场论(CFT)中初级场的量子维数有关.与著名的Affleck-Ludwig边界熵$\ln{g}$($g$反映非整数基态简并)不同,$S_{\mathcal{K}}$具有\textit{no}边界依赖性或表面能项,可以很方便地从热数据中提取。在Möbius带流形上,我们发现了CFT中的熵$S_{\mathcal{M}} = \frac{1}{2} (\ln{g} + \ln{k})$,其中$\frac{1}{2} \ln{g}$与Möbius带的唯一开边相关联,$\frac{1}{2} \ln{k}$与不可定向拓扑相关联.我们使用$S_{\mathcal{K}}$来精确地确定量子相变,即使对于那些没有本地序参数。

英文摘要:

Partition functions of quantum critical systems, expressed as conformal thermal tensor networks, are defined on various manifolds which can give rise to universal entropy corrections. Through high-precision tensor network simulations of several quantum chains, we identify the universal entropy $S_{\mathcal{K}} = \ln{k}$ on the Klein bottle, where $k$ relates to quantum dimensions of the primary fields in conformal field theory (CFT). Different from the celebrated Affleck-Ludwig boundary entropy $\ln{g}$ ($g$ reflects non-integer groundstate degeneracy), $S_{\mathcal{K}}$ has \textit{no} boundary dependence or surface energy terms accompanied, and can be very conveniently extracted from thermal data. On the Möbius-strip manifold, we uncover an entropy $S_{\mathcal{M}} = \frac{1}{2} (\ln{g} + \ln{k})$ in CFT, where $\frac{1}{2} \ln{g}$ is associated with the only open edge of the Möbius strip, and $\frac{1}{2} \ln{k}$ with the non-orientable topology. We employ $S_{\mathcal{K}}$ to accurately pinpoint the quantum phase transitions, even for those without local order parameters.
