Dynamical quantum phase transition in XY chains with the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya and XZY-YZX three-site interactions

We study the dynamical quantum phase transitions (DQPTs) in the XY chains with the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and the XZY-YZX type of three-site interaction after a sudden quench. Both the models can be mapped to the spinless free fermion models by the Jordan-Wigner and Bogoliubov transformations with the form $H=\sum_{k}\varepsilon_{k}(\eta^†_{k}\eta_{k}-\frac{1}{2})$, where the quasiparticle excitation spectra $\varepsilon_{k}$ may be smaller than 0 for some $k$ and are asymmetrical ($\varepsilon_{k}\neq\varepsilon_{-k}$). It's found that the factors of Loschmidt echo equal 1 for some $k$ corresponding to the quasiparticle excitation spectra of the pre-quench Hamiltonian satisfying $\varepsilon_{k}\cdot\varepsilon_{-k}<0$, when the quench is from the gapless phase. By considering the quench from different ground states, we obtain the conditions for the occurrence of DQPTs for the general XY chains with gapless phase, and find that the DQPTs may not occur in the quench across the quantum phase transitions regardless of whether the quench is from the gapless phase to gapped phase or from the gapped phase to gapless phase. This is different from the DQPTs in the case of quench from the gapped phase to gapped phase, in which the DQPTs will always appear. Besides, we also analyze the different reasons for the absence of DQPTs in the quench from the gapless phase and the gapped phase. The conclusion can also be extended to the general quantum spin chains.

Circuit complexity in U(1) gauge theory

In this paper, we study circuit complexity for a free vector field of a [Formula: see text] gauge theory in Coulomb gauge, and Gaussian states. We introduce a quantum circuit model with Gaussian states, including reference and target states. Using Nielsen’s geometric approach, the complexity then can be found as the shortest geodesic in the space of states. This geodesic is based on the notion of geodesic distance on the Lie group of Bogoliubov transformations equipped with a right-invariant metric. We use the framework of the covariance matrix to compute circuit complexity between Gaussian states. We apply this framework to the free vector field in general dimensions where we compute the circuit complexity of the ground state of the Hamiltonian.

Bulk reconstruction and Bogoliubov transformations in AdS2

In the bulk reconstruction program, one constructs boundary representations of bulk fields. We investigate the relation between the global/Poincare and AdS-Rindler representations for AdS2. We obtain the AdS-Rindler smearing function for massive and massless fields and show that the global and AdS-Rindler boundary representations are related by conformal transformations. We also use the boundary representations of creation and annihilation operators to compute the Bogoliubov transformation relating global modes to AdS-Rindler modes for both massive and massless particles.

Quantum Holography from Fermion Fields

We demonstrate, in the context of Loop Quantum Gravity, the Quantum Holographic Principle, according to which the area of the boundary surface enclosing a region of space encodes a qubit per Planck unit. To this aim, we introduce fermion fields in the bulk, whose boundary surface is the two-dimensional sphere. The doubling of the fermionic degrees of freedom and the use of the Bogoliubov transformations lead to pairs of spin network’s edges piercing the boundary surface with double punctures, giving rise to pixels of area encoding a qubit. The proof is also valid in the case of a fuzzy sphere.

Entanglement and impropriety

The relationship between quantum entanglement and classical impropriety is considered in the context of multi-modal squeezed states of light. Replacing operators with complex Gaussian random variables in the Bogoliubov transformations for squeezed states, we find that the resulting transformed variables are not only correlated but also improper. A simple threshold exceedance model of photon detection is considered and used to demonstrate how the behavior of improper Gaussian random variables can mimic that of entangled photon pairs when coincidence post-selection is performed.

Local optimization on pure Gaussian state manifolds

We exploit insights into the geometry of bosonic and fermionic Gaussian states to develop an efficient local optimization algorithm to extremize arbitrary functions on these families of states. The method is based on notions of gradient descent attuned to the local geometry which also allows for the implementation of local constraints. The natural group action of the symplectic and orthogonal group enables us to compute the geometric gradient efficiently. While our parametrization of states is based on covariance matrices and linear complex structures, we provide compact formulas to easily convert from and to other parametrization of Gaussian states, such as wave functions for pure Gaussian states, quasiprobability distributions and Bogoliubov transformations. We review applications ranging from approximating ground states to computing circuit complexity and the entanglement of purification that have both been employed in the context of holography. Finally, we use the presented methods to collect numerical and analytical evidence for the conjecture that Gaussian purifications are sufficient to compute the entanglement of purification of arbitrary mixed Gaussian states.

ν − ν interactions in supernovae environments as a function of density and temperature

Neutrinos in astrophysical environments, such as Supernovae (SNe), may interact through pair interactions. These interactions are density and temperature-dependent. Under certain conditions, a neutrino-condensate may form. In this work, we have adapted the separable nonlocal pairing interactions to the SN conditions and studied the temperature and density dependence of the pairing gap as well as the collective response with respect to these variables. We have applied the Bogoliubov transformations and solved the Bardeen, Cooper and Schrieffer (BCS) equations to construct the free quasi-particle sector of the Hamiltonian. The residual two-quasi-particle terms have been treated by applying the Tamm–Dancoff approximation (TDA) and random-phase approximation (RPA), suited to the extended neutrino media. With this, we have constructed neutrino energy distributions both in the superfluid and normal regimes and extracted critical values of the density and temperature.

Black-Hole evaporation and quantum-depletion in Bose–Einstein condensates

We study the analogy between the Hawking radiation in Black-Holes and the quantum depletion process of a Bose–Einstein condensate by using the Bogoliubov transformations method. We find that the relation between the Bogoliubov coefficients is similar in both cases (in the appropriate regimes). We then connect the condensate variables with those associated to the Black-Hole, demonstrating then that the zero temperature regime of the condensate is equivalent to the existence of an event horizon in gravity.

On the Loss of Learning Capability Inside an Arrangement of Neural Networks: The Bottleneck Effect in Black-Holes

We analyze the loss of information and the loss of learning capability inside an arrangement of neural networks. Our method is based on the formulation of the Bogoliubov transformations in order to connect the information between different points of the arrangement. Similar methods translated to the physics of black-holes, reproduce the Hawking radiation effect. From this perspective we can conclude that the black-holes are objects reproducing naturally the bottleneck effect, which is fundamental in neural networks in order to perceive the useful information, eliminating in this way the noise.

Conformal Symmetry and Supersymmetry in Rindler Space

This paper addresses the fate of extended space-time symmetries, in particular conformal symmetry and supersymmetry, in two-dimensional Rindler space-time appropriate to a uniformly accelerated non-inertial frame in flat 1+1-dimensional space-time. Generically, in addition to a conformal co-ordinate transformation, the transformation of fields from Minkowski to Rindler space is accompanied by local conformal and Lorentz transformations of the components, which also affect the Bogoliubov transformations between the associated Fock spaces. I construct these transformations for massless scalars and spinors, as well as for the ghost and super-ghost fields necessary in theories with local conformal and supersymmetries, as arising from coupling to two-dimensional (2-D) gravity or supergravity. Cancellation of the anomalies in Minkowski and in Rindler space requires theories with the well-known critical spectrum of particles that arise in string theory in the limit of infinite strings, and it is relevant for the equivalence of Minkowski and Rindler frame theories.
