Hidden quantum correlations in the ground states of quasiclassical spin systems

Frustrated spin models may lead to the formation of both classical non-collinear spin structures and unique quantum phases including highly entangled quantum spin liquids. Here, we study the entanglement and spatial quantum correlations in linear spin-wave theory around a classical spin-spiral ground state. We find that the entanglement between pairs of sites is short-ranged, and is completely absent in certain cases. In contrast, the entanglement hidden in multi-site clusters is peaked close to phase transitions and shows an asymptotic behavior modulated by the period of the magnetic structure. These findings motivate further exploring the connection in the entanglement properties of fully quantum and of quasiclassical spin models.

Dynamical renormalization of the magnetic excitation spectrum via high-momentum nonlinear magnonics

Controlling macroscopic properties of quantum materials requires the ability to induce and manipulate excited states. The set of collective excitations of a solid is encoded in its dispersion relations. We find that the spectra of the low-momentum eigenmodes are renormalized by resonantly driving the high-momentum excitations. Our experimental data rule out laser-induced thermal processes as an origin of the renormalization. The photoinduced changes of the amplitudes and frequencies can be explained theoretically and numerically with a resonant light-scattering mechanism that couples high- and low-momentum eigenmodes in the dispersion relation across momentum space. While we demonstrate the renormalization of the magnetic spectrum in a quantum material, our experimental approach can be further generalized to lattice modes in semiconductors.

Dipole-dipole-interaction-induced entanglement between two-dimensional ferromagnets

We investigate the viability of dipole-dipole interaction as a means of entangling two distant ferromagnets. To this end we make use of the Bogoliubov transformation as a symplectic transformation. We show that the coupling of the uniform magnon modes can be expressed using four squeezing parameters which we interpret in terms of hybridization, one-mode and two-mode squeezing. We utilize the expansion in terms of the squeezing parameters to obtain an analytic formula for the entanglement in the magnon ground state using the logarithmic negativity as entanglement measure. Our investigation predicts that for infinitely large two-dimensional ferromagnets, the dipole-dipole interaction does not lead to significant long-range entanglement. However, in the case of finite ferromagnets, finite entanglement can be expected

Magnon squeezing in conical spin spirals

We investigate squeezing of magnons in a conical spin spiral configuration. We find that while the energy of magnons propagating along the $\boldsymbol{k}$ and the $-\boldsymbol{k}$ directions can be different due to the non-reciprocal dispersion, these two modes are connected by the squeezing, hence can be described by the same squeezing parameter. The squeezing parameter diverges at the center of the Brillouin zone due to the translational Goldstone mode of the system, but the squeezing also vanishes for certain wave vectors. We discuss possible ways of detecting the squeezing.

Theory of quantum entanglement and the structure of two-mode squeezed antiferromagnetic magnon vacuum

Recent investigations of the quantum properties of an antiferromagnet in the spin wave approximation have identified the eigenstates as two-mode squeezed sublattice states. The uniform squeezed vacuum and one-magnon states were shown to display a massive sublattice entanglement. Here we expand this investigation and study the squeezing properties of all sublattice Fock states throughout the magnetic Brillouin zone. We derive the full statistics of the sublattice magnon number with wave number $\vec k$ in the ground state and show that magnons are created in pairs with opposite wavevectors, hence, resulting in entanglement of both modes. To quantify the degree of entanglement we apply the Duan-Giedke-Cirac-Zoller inequality and show that it can be violated for all modes. The degree of entanglement decrease towards the corners of the Brillouin zone. We relate the entanglement to measurable correlations of components of the Néel and the magnetization vectors, thus, allowing to experimentally test the quantum nature of the squeezed vacuum. The distinct $\vec k$-space structure of the probabilites shows that the squeezed vacuum has a nonuniform shape that is revealed through the $\vec k$-dependent correlators for the magnetization and the Néel vectors.

Renormalisation with SU(1, 1) coherent states on the LQC Hilbert space

We present an analytic computation of an explicit renormalisation group flow for cosmological states in loop quantum gravity. A key ingredient in our analysis are Perelomov coherent states for the Lie group SU(1,1) whose representation spaces are embedded into the standard loop quantum cosmology (LQC) Hilbert space. The SU(1,1) group structure enters our analysis by considering a classical set of phase space functions that generates the Lie algebra su(1,1). We implement this Poisson algebra as operators on the LQC Hilbert space in a non-anomalous way. This task requires a rather involved ordering choice, whose existence is one of the main results of the paper. As a consequence, we can transfer recently established results on coarse graining cosmological states from direct quantisations of the above Poisson algebra to the standard LQC Hilbert space and full theory embeddings thereof. We explicitly discuss how the su(1,1) representation spaces used in this latter approach are embedded into the LQC Hilbert space and how the su(1,1) representation label sets a lower cut-off for the loop quantum gravity spins (= U(1) representation labels in LQC). Our results provide an explicit example of a non-trivial renormalisation group flow with a scale set by the su(1,1) representation label and interpreted as the minimally resolved geometric scale.
