Reduced State Stabilizer R\'enyi Entropy as a Probe of Quantum Phase Transitions in Frustrated J_1-J_2 Spin Models

We investigate whether the second-order purity-corrected stabilizer R\'enyi entropy (SRE) of reduced two-qubit density matrices can serve as a reliable local indicator of quantum phase transitions (QPTs) in frustrated quantum spin systems. We consider the one-dimensional isotropic $J_1-J_2$ Heisenberg model, the one-dimensional XXZ $J_1-J_2$ model, and the two-dimensional $J_1-J_2$ Heisenberg model on a $4\times4$ square lattice. Unlike several previously studied quantum information measures, which fail to detect QPTs in the ground state of these frustrated systems, the reduced ground-state purity-corrected SRE successfully identifies most transitions. For the remaining cases, we consider a low temperature subjacent state, modeled as a statistical mixture of the ground and first excited states with a Maxwell--Boltzmann-type occupation probability. For the 1D isotropic model, the subjacent-state SRE shows a discontinuity at the critical point, yielding $\alpha_c(\infty)=0.24116$, in excellent agreement with established values; the ground-state SRE shows a point of inflection, yielding $\alpha_c(\infty)=0.2681$. For the 1D XXZ model, the subjacent-state SRE reproduces the full anisotropy dependent phase diagram, while the ground-state SRE captures transitions only at low anisotropy. For the 2D model, the subjacent-state SRE detects two transitions, at $\alpha_c(4\times4)=0.40781$ and $0.6208$, while the ground-state SRE identifies the second at $0.6230$. Compared with conventional two-qubit entanglement, purity-corrected SRE shows a clear advantage in revealing otherwise-invisible phase transitions, establishing it as a robust, efficient, local probe of frustrated quantum criticality.

Reduced-State Stabilizer R\'enyi Entropy as a Probe of Quantum Criticality in the Transverse ANNNI Model and the Quantum Compass Model

We investigate the effectiveness of the stabilizer R\'enyi entropy (SRE), a quantifier associated with non-stabilizer resources (quantum magic), as an indicator of quantum phase transitions. Specifically, we analyze the behavior of the purity-corrected SRE of reduced density matrices in the ground states of two one-dimensional spin models: the transverse axial next-nearest-neighbor Ising (TANNNI) model and the quantum compass model (QCM). The ground state of the TANNNI model is obtained using exact diagonalization techniques, while the QCM is analyzed using the Jordan--Wigner (JW) transformation followed by Bogoliubov diagonalization of the resulting quadratic fermionic Hamiltonian. For the TANNNI model, the purity-corrected SRE successfully detects the antiphase--floating phase transition in the high-frustration regime, while in the low-frustration regime the raw (purity-uncorrected) SRE reproduces the known ferromagnetic--paramagnetic phase boundaries more accurately. For the QCM, the purity-corrected SRE exhibits a clear signature near the isotropic point $J_x/J_z=1$, where the system undergoes a first-order quantum phase transition. Our results establish SRE of reduced states as a complementary probe of quantum criticality and provide further insight into the role of non-stabilizer resources in many-body quantum phase transitions.

Magnetic Field Detection Using a Two-Qubit System Under Noisy Heisenberg Interaction

We propose a method to design a magnetic field detector using a noisy two-qubit system. The system evolves under a noisy Heisenberg interaction Hamiltonian, and we investigate its behavior by calculating both the $l_1$-norm of quantum coherence and the return probability in the presence and absence of an external magnetic field. We allow for decoherence modeled by quasi-static charge noise in the exchange coupling of the two-qubit system and find that, while the magnetic field does not significantly influence the decoherence process, it introduces a distinct oscillation in the return probability over time. Importantly, the oscillation frequency is directly proportional to the strength of the applied magnetic field, providing a clear signature that can be used for magnetic field detection. These results point towards the feasibility of realizing a practical quantum-based magnetic field detector, with the ability to operate under noisy conditions while maintaining sensitivity to the field strength.

On Classical Simulation of Quantum Circuits Composed of Clifford Gates

The Gottesman-Knill theorem asserts that quantum circuits composed solely of Clifford gates can be efficiently simulated classically. This theorem hinges on the fact that Clifford gates map Pauli strings to other Pauli strings, thereby allowing for a structured simulation process using classical computations. In this work, we break down the step-by-step procedure of the Gottesman-Knill theorem in a beginner-friendly manner, leveraging concepts such as matrix products, tensor products, commutation, anti-commutation, eigenvalues, and eigenvectors of quantum mechanical operators. Through detailed examples illustrating superposition and entanglement phenomena, we aim to provide a clear understanding of the classical simulation of Clifford gate-based quantum circuits. While we do not provide a formal proof of the theorem, we offer intuitive physical insights at each stage where necessary, empowering readers to grasp the fundamental principles underpinning this intriguing aspect of quantum computation.

Scalability enhancement of quantum computing under limited connectivity through distributed quantum computing

We employ quantum-volume random-circuit sampling to benchmark the two-QPU entanglement-assisted distributed quantum computing (DQC) and compare it with single-QPU quantum computing. We first specify a single-qubit depolarizing noise model in the random circuit. Based on this error model, we show the one-to-one correspondence of three figures of merits, namely average gate fidelity, heavy output probability, and linear cross-entropy. We derive an analytical approximation of the average gate fidelity under the specified noise model, which is shown to align with numerical simulations. The approximation is calculated based on a noise propagation matrix obtained from the extended connectivity graph of a DQC device. In numerical simulation, we unveil the scalability enhancement in DQC for the QPUs with limited connectivity. Furthermore, we provide a simple formula to estimate the average gate fidelity, which also provides us with a heuristic method to evaluate the scalability enhancement in DQC, and a guide to optimize the structure of a DQC configuration.

Estimating phase transition of perturbed J1-J2 Heisenberg quantum chain in mixtures of ground and first excited states

We show that the nearest neighbour entanglement in a mixture of ground and first excited states - a subjacent state - of the J1-J2 Heisenberg quantum spin chain can be used as an order parameter to detect the phase transition of the chain from a gapless spin fluid to a gapped dimer phase. We study the effectiveness of the order parameter for varying relative mixing probabilities between the ground and first excited states in the subjacent state for different system sizes, and extrapolate the results to the thermodynamic limit. We observe that the nearest neighbour concurrence can play a role of a good order parameter even if the system is in the ground state, but with a small finite probability of leaking into the first excited state. Moreover, we apply the order parameter of the subjacent state to investigate the response to separate introductions of anisotropy and of glassy disorder on the phase diagram of the model, and analyse the corresponding finite-size scale exponents and the emergent tricritical point in the former case. The anisotropic J1-J2 chain has a richer phase diagram which is also clearly visible by using the same order parameter.

Fidelity and Entanglement of Random Bipartite Pure States: Insights and Applications

We investigate the fidelity of Haar random bipartite pure states from a fixed reference quantum state and their bipartite entanglement. By plotting the fidelity and entanglement on perpendicular axes, we observe that the resulting plots exhibit non-uniform distributions. The distribution depends on the entanglement of the fixed reference quantum state used to quantify the fidelity of the random pure bipartite states. We find that the average fidelity of typical random pure bipartite qubits within a narrow entanglement range with respect to a randomly chosen fixed bipartite qubit is $\frac{1}{4}$. Extending our study to higher dimensional bipartite qudits, we find that the average fidelity of typical random pure bipartite qudits with respect to a randomly chosen fixed bipartite qudit remains constant within a narrow entanglement range. The values of these constants are $\frac{1}{d^2}$, with d being the dimension of the local Hilbert space of the bipartite qudit system, suggesting a consistent relationship between entanglement and fidelity across different dimensions. The probability distribution functions of fidelity with respect to a product state are analytically studied and used as a reference for the benchmarking of distributed quantum computing devices.

Shared purity and concurrence of a mixture of ground and low-lying excited states as indicators of quantum phase transitions

We investigate the efficacy of shared purity, a measure of quantum correlation that is independent of the separability-entanglement paradigm, as a quantum phase transition indicator in comparison with concurrence, a bipartite entanglement measure. The order parameters are investigated for thermal states, pseudo-thermal states and more, of the systems considered. In the case of the one-dimensional $J_1-J_2$ Heisenberg quantum spin model and the one-dimensional transverse-field quantum Ising model, shared purity turns out to be as effective as concurrence in indicating quantum phase transitions. In the two-dimensional $J_1-J_2$ Heisenberg quantum spin model, shared purity indicates the two quantum phase transitions present in the model, while concurrence detects only one of them. Moreover, we find diverging finite-size scaling exponents for the order parameters near the transitions in odd- and even-sized systems governed by the one-dimensional $J_1-J_2$ model, as had previously been reported for quantum spins on odd- and even-legged ladders. It is plausible that the divergence is related to a M{ö}bius strip-like boundary condition required for odd-sized systems, while for even-sized systems, the usual periodic boundary condition is sufficient.

Inhibition of spread of typical bipartite and genuine multiparty entanglement in response to disorder

The distribution of entanglement of typical multiparty quantum states is not uniform over the range of the measure utilized for quantifying the entanglement. We intend to find the response to disorder in the state parameters on this non-uniformity for typical states. We find that the typical entanglement, averaged over the disorder, is taken farther away from uniformity, as quantified by decreased standard deviation, in comparison to the clean case. The feature is seemingly generic, as we see it for Gaussian and non-Gaussian disorder distributions, for varying strengths of the disorder, and for disorder insertions in one and several state parameters. The non-Gaussian distributions considered are uniform and Cauchy-Lorentz. Two- and three-qubit pure state Haar-uniform generations are considered for the typical state productions. We also consider noisy versions of the initial states produced in the Haar-uniform generations. A genuine multiparty entanglement monotone is considered for the three-qubit case, while concurrence is used to measure two-qubit entanglement.

Spread and asymmetry of typical quantum coherence and their inhibition in response to glassy disorder

We consider the average quantum coherences of typical redits and qudits - vectors of real and complex Hilbert spaces - with the analytical forms stemming from the symmetry of Haar-uniformly distributed random pure states. We subsequently study the response to disorder in spread of the typical quantum coherence in response to glassy disorder. The disorder is inserted in the state parameters. Even in the absence of disorder, the quantum coherence distributions of redits and qudits are not uniform over the range of quantum coherence, and the spreads are lower for higher dimensions. On insertion of disorder, the spreads decrease. This decrease in the spread of quantum coherence distribution in response to disorder is seen to be a generic feature of typical pure states: we observe the feature for different strengths of disorder and for various types of disorder distributions, viz. Gaussian, uniform, and Cauchy-Lorentz. We also find that the quantum coherence distributions become less asymmetric with increase in dimension and with infusion of glassy disorder.

Entanglement in first excited states of some many-body quantum spin systems: indication of quantum phase transition in finite size systems

We compute concurrence, a measure of bipartite entanglement, of the first excited state of the $1$-D Heisenberg frustrated $J_1$-$J_2$ spin-chain and observe a sudden change in the entanglement of the eigen state near the coupling strength $α=J_2/J_1\approx0.241$, where a quantum phase transition from spin-fluid phase to dimer phase has been previously reported. We numerically observe this phenomena for spin-chain with $8$ sites to $16$ sites, and the value of $α$ at which the change in entanglement is observed asymptotically tends to a value $α_c\approx0.24116$. We have calculated the finite-size scaling exponents for spin chains with even and odd spins. It may be noted that bipartite as well as multipartite entanglement measures applied on the ground state of the system, fail to detect any quantum phase transition from the gapless to the gapped phase in the $1$-D Heisenberg frustrated $J_1$-$J_2$ spin-chain. Furthermore, we measure bipartite entanglement of first excited states for other spin models like $2$-D Heisenberg $J_1$-$J_2$ model and Shastry-Sutherland model and find similar indications of quantum phase transitions.
