量子行走与经典波:时空动力学区分量子磁体的基态

Quantum walk versus classical wave: Distinguishing ground states of quantum magnets by spacetime dynamics

Piotr Wrzosek, Krzysztof Wohlfeld, Damian Hofmann, Tomasz Sowiński, Michael A. Sentef

摘要:

研究了二维铁磁和反铁磁量子自旋系统中单次自旋翻转后的波包扩展。我们发现了特征空间磁振子密度分布:铁磁体显示出反映底层晶格结构的方形图案,正如量子步行者所展示的那样,反铁磁体显示出隐藏晶格结构的圆形图案,而不是类似于经典的波图案。我们将这些根本不同的行为追溯到明显不同的磁振子能量-动量色散关系,并提供了一个真实的空间解释。我们的研究结果指出了在材料科学和量子模拟器中对量子磁体进行实时、真实空间成像的新机会。

英文摘要:

We investigate the wavepacket spreading after a single spin flip in prototypical two-dimensional ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic quantum spin systems. We find characteristic spatial magnon density profiles: While the ferromagnet shows a square-shaped pattern reflecting the underlying lattice structure, as exhibited by quantum walkers, the antiferromagnet shows a circular-shaped pattern which hides the lattice structure and instead resembles a classical wave pattern. We trace these fundamentally different behaviors back to the distinctly different magnon energy-momentum dispersion relations and also provide a real-space interpretation. Our findings point to new opportunities for real-time, real-space imaging of quantum magnets both in materials science and in quantum simulators.
