We show how nonrelativistic many body techniques can be used to study quantum corrections to the classical limit, in particular of the $SU(2)$ Lipkin Model. We show that the quantum corrections are essentially of two types: unitary and nonunitary. In this work we perform a detailed study of the unitary corrections. They can be cast in Hamiltonian form and are shown to double the number of degrees of freedom. As a consequence chaotic behavior emerges. We show that this semiquantal chaos is the mechanism trough which tunneling is effected. We also show that these corrections systematically improve the classical results and propose some quantitative measure of this improvement.
We study the classical analog of the quantum metric tensor and its scalar curvature for two well-known quantum physics models. First, we analyze the geometry of the parameter space for the Dicke model with the aid of the classical and quantum metrics and find that, in the thermodynamic limit, they have the same divergent behavior near the quantum phase transition, as opposed to their corresponding scalar curvatures which are not divergent there. On the contrary, under resonance conditions, both scalar curvatures exhibit a divergence at the critical point. Second, we present the classical and q…
We study the dynamics of a Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model in the presence of Markovian dissipation, with a focus on late-time dynamics and the approach to thermal equilibrium. Making use of a vectorized bosonic representation of the corresponding Lindblad master equation, we use degenerate perturbation theory in the weak-dissipation limit to analytically obtain the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the Liouvillian superoperator, which in turn give access to closed-form analytical expressions for the time evolution of the density operator and observables. Our approach is valid for large systems, but …
Solving the Lipkin model using quantum computers with two qubits only with a hybrid quantum-classical technique based on the Generator Coordinate Method
Atomic nuclei are important laboratories for exploring and testing new insights into the universe, such as experiments to directly detect dark matter or explore properties of neutrinos. The targets of interest are often heavy, complex nuclei that challenge our ability to reliably model them (as well as quantify the uncertainty of those models) with classical computers. Hence there is great interest in applying quantum computation to nuclear structure for these applications. As an early step in this direction, especially with regards to the uncertainties in the relevant quantum calculations, we…
Quantum Simulations in Effective Model Spaces (I): Hamiltonian Learning-VQE using Digital Quantum Computers and Application to the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick Model
We study the quantum metric tensor and its scalar curvature for a particular version of the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model. We build the classical Hamiltonian using Bloch coherent states and find its stationary points. They exhibit the presence of a ground state quantum phase transition, where a bifurcation occurs, showing a change of stability associated with an excited state quantum phase transition. Symmetrically, for a sign change in one Hamiltonian parameter, the same phenomenon is observed in the highest energy state. Employing the Holstein-Primakoff approximation, we derive analytic express…
We study the dynamics of the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick (LMG) model with finite number of spins. In the thermodynamic limit, the ground state of the LMG model with isotropic Hamiltonian in broken phase breaks to a mean-field ground state with a certain direction. However, when the spins number $N$ is finite, the exact ground state is always unique and is not given by a classical mean-field ground state. Here we prove that for $N$ is large but finite, through a tiny external perturbation, a localized state which is close to a mean-field ground state can be prepared, which mimics a spontaneous symmetr…
We simulate the excited states of the Lipkin model using the recently proposed Quantum Equation of Motion (qEOM) method. The qEOM generalizes the EOM on classical computers and gives access to collective excitations based on quasi-boson operators $\hat{O}^\dagger_n(α)$ of increasing configuration complexity $α$. We show, in particular, that the accuracy strongly depends on the fermion to qubit encoding. Standard encoding leads to large errors, but the use of symmetries and the Gray code reduces the quantum resources and improves significantly the results on current noisy quantum devices. With …

We introduce the notion of Mixed Symmetry Quantum Phase Transition (MSQPT) as singularities in the transformation of the lowest-energy state properties of a system of identical particles inside each permutation symmetry sector $μ$, when some Hamiltonian control parameters $λ$ are varied. We use a three-level Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick (LMG) model, with $U(3)$ dynamical symmetry, to exemplify our construction. After reviewing the construction of $U(3)$ unirreps using Young tableaux and Gelfand basis, we firstly study the case of a finite number $N$ of three-level atoms, showing that some precursors (…

We present an alternative protocol allowing for the preparation of critical states that instead of suffering from the critical slowing-down benefits from the critical speeding-up. Paradoxically, we prepare these states by going away from the critical point which allows for the speed-up. We apply the protocol to the paradigmatic quantum Rabi model and its classical oscillator limit as well as the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model. Subsequently, we discuss the application of the adiabatic speed-up protocol in quantum metrology and compare its performance with critical quantum metrology. We show that cr…
Quantum chaos refers to signatures of classical chaos found in the quantum domain. Recently, it has become common to equate the exponential behavior of out-of-time order correlators (OTOCs) with quantum chaos. The quantum-classical correspondence between the OTOC exponential growth and chaos in the classical limit has indeed been corroborated theoretically for some systems and there are several projects to do the same experimentally. The Dicke model, in particular, which has a regular and a chaotic regime, is currently under intense investigation by experiments with trapped ions. We show, howe…
Using the Wherl entropy, we study the delocalization in phase-space of energy eigenstates in the vicinity of avoided crossing in the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model. These avoided crossing, appearing at intermediate energies in a certain parameter region of the model, originate classically from pairs of trajectories lying in different phase space regions, which contrary to the low energy regime, are not connected by the discrete parity symmetry of the model. As coupling parameters are varied, a sudden increase of the Wherl entropy is observed for eigenstates close to the critical energy of the exci…

Typically in many-body systems the correlation energy, which is defined as the difference between the exact ground state energy and the mean-field solution, has been a measure of the system's total correlations. However, under the quantum information context, it is possible to define some quantities in terms of the system's constituents that measure the classical and quantum correlations, such as the entanglement entropy, mutual information, quantum discord, one-body entropy, etc. In this work, we apply concepts of quantum information in fermionic systems in order to study traditional correlat…
The average entanglement entropy (EE) of the energy eigenstates in non-vanishing partitions has been recently proposed as a diagnostic of integrability in quantum many-body systems. For it to be a faithful characterization of quantum integrability, it should distinguish quantum systems with a well-defined classical limit in the same way as the unequivocal classical integrability criteria. We examine the proposed diagnostic in the class of collective spin models characterized by permutation symmetry in the spins. The well-known Lipkin-Meshov-Glick (LMG) model is a paradigmatic integrable system…
We introduce a new graphical framework for designing quantum error correction codes based on classical principles. A key feature of this graphical language, over previous approaches, is that it is closely related to that of factor graphs or graphical models in classical information theory and machine learning. It enables us to formulate the description of the recently-introduced `coherent parity check' quantum error correction codes entirely within the language of classical information theory. This makes our construction accessible without requiring background in quantum error correction or ev…
Quantum error correction (QEC) is one of the central concepts in quantum information science and also has wide applications in fundamental physics. The capacity theorems provide solid foundations of QEC. We here provide a general and highly applicable form of capacity theorem for both classical and quantum information, i.e., hybrid information, with assistance of a limited resource of entanglement in one-shot scenario, which covers broader situations than the existing ones. Harnessing the wide applicability of the theorem, we show that a demonstration of QEC by short random quantum circuits is…
We study, in the presence of an external electrostatic field, the interatomic interaction between two ground-state atoms coupled with vacuum electromagnetic fluctuations within the dipole coupling approximation based on the perturbation theory. We show that, up to the fourth order, the electrostatic-field-induced interatomic interaction is just the classical dipole-dipole interaction, which disagrees with the recent result from Fiscelli et al. [G. Fiscelli et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, 013604 (2020)]. However, to higher orders, there exist external-field-related quantum corrections to the indu…
The Picard-Fuchs equation is a powerful mathematical tool which has numerous applications in physics, for it allows to evaluate integrals without resorting to direct integration techniques. We use this equation to calculate both the classical action and the higher-order WKB corrections to it, for the sextic double-well potential and the Lamé potential. Our development rests on the fact that the Picard-Fuchs method links an integral to solutions of a differential equation with the energy as a parameter. Employing the same argument we show that each higher-order correction in the WKB series for …
A time of arrival (TOA) operator that is conjugate with the system Hamiltonian was constructed by Galapon without canonical quantization in [J. Math. Phys. \textbf{45}, 3180 (2004)]. The constructed operator was expressed as an infinite series but only the leading term was investigated which was shown to be equal to the Weyl-quantized TOA-operator for entire analytic potentials. In this paper, we give a full account of the said TOA-operator by explicitly solving all the terms in the expansion. We interpret the terms beyond the leading term as the quantum corrections to the Weyl quantization of…
