摘要:

量子纠缠是拓扑态的一个决定性特征。然而,对于不存在体能隙的拓扑态,其纠缠谱仍未得到充分研究。结合场论与数值技术,我们精确计算并分析了一维无隙对称保护拓扑态的纠缠谱。我们着重指出,普适纠缠谱不仅编码了非平庸的边缘简并,将Li-Haldane猜想推广到了无隙拓扑态,还包含了其底层边界共形场论的算符内容。这表明体波函数可作为无隙对称保护拓扑态中量子临界性与拓扑性的双重指纹。我们还识别出一种超越传统共形边界条件的对称增强共形边界条件。

英文摘要:

Quantum entanglement marks a definitive feature of topological states. However, the entanglement spectrum remains insufficiently explored for topological states without a bulk energy gap. Using a combination of field theory and numerical techniques, we accurately calculate and analyze the entanglement spectrum of gapless symmetry protected topological states in one dimension. We highlight that the universal entanglement spectrum not only encodes the nontrivial edge degeneracy, generalizing the Li-Haldane conjecture to gapless topological states, but also contains the operator content of the underlying boundary conformal field theory. This implies that the bulk wave function can act as a fingerprint of both quantum criticality and topology in gapless symmetry protected topological states. We also identify a symmetry enriched conformal boundary condition that goes beyond the conventional conformal boundary condition.
