Quantum phase transitions and quantum fidelity in free fermion graphs
In this paper we analyze the ground state phase diagram of a class of fermionic Hamiltonians by looking at the fidelity of ground states corresponding to slightly different Hamiltonian parameters. The Hamiltonians under investigation can be considered as the variable range generalization of the fermionic Hamiltonian obtained by the Jordan-Wigner transformation of the XY spin-chain in a transver...
متن کاملQuantum phase transitions in a two-dimensional quantum XYX model: ground-state fidelity and entanglement.
A systematic analysis is performed for quantum phase transitions in a two-dimensional anisotropic spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic XYX model in an external magnetic field. With the help of an innovative tensor network algorithm, we compute the fidelity per lattice site to demonstrate that the field-induced quantum phase transition is unambiguously characterized by a pinch point on the fidelity surfac...
متن کاملQuantum fidelity for degenerate ground states in quantum phase transitions.
Spontaneous symmetry breaking in quantum phase transitions leads to a system having degenerate ground states in its broken-symmetry phase. In order to detect all possible degenerate ground states for a broken-symmetry phase, we introduce a quantum fidelity defined as an overlap measurement between a system ground state and an arbitrary reference state. If a system has N-fold degenerate ground s...
متن کاملGround state overlap and quantum phase transitions.
We present a characterization of quantum phase transitions in terms of the the overlap function between two ground states obtained for two different values of external parameters. On the examples of the Dicke and XY models, we show that the regions of criticality of a system are marked by the extremal points of the overlap and functions closely related to it. Further, we discuss the connections...
متن کاملQuantum information approach to quantum phase transitions
Quantum phase transitions of a many-body system at zero temperature are characterized by the change of the ground state properties as model parameter g in the system Hamiltonian H(g) is varied across the transition point. People think that structures of the ground-state wavefunction become qualitatively different across the transition point. That is, if we calculate the fidelity, a concept emer...
