Entanglement in quantum critical phenomena.
Entanglement, one of the most intriguing features of quantum theory and a main resource in quantum information science, is expected to play a crucial role also in the study of quantum phase transitions, where it is responsible for the appearance of long-range correlations. We investigate, through a microscopic calculation, the scaling properties of entanglement in spin chain systems, both near ...
متن کاملSymmetric Boundary Conditions in Boundary Critical Phenomena
It has been an extremely fruitful idea to study a conformal field theory by putting it on various surfaces, with or without boundaries. Apart from the sphere, that has been considered first, prime examples of non–trivial geometries include the torus [1] and the cylinder [2,3]. They serve to probe different facets of a given conformal theory. However the data specific of these surfaces are inext...
متن کاملLandau-Ginzburg Description of Boundary Critical Phenomena in Two Dimensions
The Virasoro minimal models with boundary are described in the LandauGinzburg theory by introducing a boundary potential, function of the boundary field value. The ground state field configurations become non-trivial and are found to obey the soliton equations. The conformal invariant boundary conditions are characterized by the reparametrization-invariant data of the boundary potential, that a...
متن کاملBoundary Critical Phenomena in SU(3) “Spin” Chains
SU(3)-invariant “spin” chains with a single impurity, such as a modified exchange coupling on one link, are analyzed using boundary conformal field theory techniques. These chains are equivalent to a special case of the “tJV ” model, i.e. the tJ model with a nearest neighbour repulsion added. In the continuum limit they are equivalent to two free bosons at a special value of the compactificatio...
متن کاملBoundary Critical Phenomena in the Three-State Potts Model
Boundary critical phenomena are studied in the 3State Potts model in 2 dimensions using conformal field theory, duality and renormalization group methods. A presumably complete set of boundary conditions is obtained using both fusion and orbifold methods. Besides the previously known free, fixed and mixed boundary conditions a new one is obtained. This illustrates the necessity of considering f...
