Real-time non-perturbative dynamics of jet production: quantum entanglement and vacuum modification

The production of jets should allow testing the real-time response of the QCD vacuum disturbed by the propagation of high-momentum color charges. Addressing this problem theoretically requires a real-time, non-perturbative method. It is well known that the Schwinger model [QED in $(1+1)$ dimensions] shares many common properties with QCD, including confinement, chiral symmetry breaking, and the existence of vacuum fermion condensate. As a step in developing such an approach, we report here on fully quantum simulations of a massive Schwinger model coupled to external sources representing quark and antiquark jets as produced in $e^+e^-$ annihilation. We study, for the first time, the modification of the vacuum chiral condensate by the propagating jets and the quantum entanglement between the fragmenting jets. Our results indicate strong entanglement between the fragmentation products of the two jets at rapidity separations $Δη\leq 2$, which can potentially exist also in QCD and can be studied in experiments.

Quantum interactive proofs using quantum energy teleportation

We present a simple quantum interactive proof (QIP) protocol using the quantum state teleportation (QST) and quantum energy teleportation (QET) protocols. QET is a technique that allows a receiver at a distance to extract the local energy by local operations and classical communication (LOCC), using the energy injected by the supplier as collateral. QET works for any local Hamiltonian with entanglement and, for our study, it is important that getting the ground state of a generic local Hamiltonian is quantum Merlin Arthur (QMA)-hard. The key motivations behind employing QET for these purposes are clarified. Firstly, in cases where a prover possesses the correct state and executes the appropriate operations, the verifier can effectively validate the presence of negative energy with a high probability (Completeness). Failure to select the appropriate operators or an incorrect state renders the verifier incapable of observing negative energy (Soundness). Importantly, the verifier solely observes a single qubit from the prover's transmitted state, while remaining oblivious to the prover's Hamiltonian and state (Zero-knowledge). Furthermore, the analysis is extended to distributed quantum interactive proofs, where we propose multiple solutions for the verification of each player's measurement. The complexity class of our protocol in the most general case belongs to QIP(3)=PSPACE, hence it provides a secure quantum authentication scheme that can be implemented in small quantum communication devices. It is straightforward to extend our protocol to Quantum Multi-Prover Interactive Proof (QMIP) systems, where the complexity is expected to be more powerful (PSPACE$\subset$QMIP=NEXPTIME). In our case, all provers share the ground state entanglement, hence it should belong to a more powerful complexity class QMIP$^*$.

Algebra of Hyperbolic Band Theory under Magnetic Field

We explore algebras associated with the hyperbolic band theory under a magnetic field for the first time. We define the magnetic Fuchsian group associated with a higher genus Riemann surface. By imposing the magnetic boundary conditions for the hyperbolic Bloch states, we construct the hyperbolic magnetic Bloch states and investigate their energy spectrum. We give a connection between such magnetic Bloch states and automorphic forms. Our theory is a general extension of the conventional algebra associated with the band theory defined on a Euclidean lattice/space into that of the band theory on a general hyperbolic lattice/Riemann surface.

Non-linear chiral magnetic waves

The chiral magnetic wave (CMW) is a macroscopic quantum phenomenon that arises due to the mixing of the electric and chiral charge oscillations induced by the chiral anomaly. In this study we report the first quantum simulation (on classical hardware) of the real-time dynamics of CMWs in Schwinger model. Our quench protocol is the following: at $t=0$ we suddenly place an electric dipole at the middle of our lattice. Due to chiral anomaly, this dipole excites the CMW that propagates towards the edges of the lattice. In Schwinger model tuned to the conformal critical point (at $θ= π$, $m/g \simeq 0.2$), we find a gapless linear CMW that propagates with the speed of light. For massless Schwinger model ($θ=0, m=0$), we find a gapped linear CMW, in accord with previous analytical analyses. For massive Schwinger model (that is dual to strongly interacting bosonic theory), we enter the new regime of nonlinear CMWs, where we find a surprise. Specifically, for $m/g > 1$, the frequency of electric charge oscillations becomes much smaller than the frequency of the oscillations of the chiral charge. For $m/g =4$, we find a solution corresponding to a nearly static electric dipole with fast oscillations of the chiral charge confined within. We call this solution a "thumper" and study its properties in detail.

Detecting the critical point through entanglement in Schwinger model

Using quantum simulations on classical hardware, we study the phase diagram of the massive Schwinger model with a $θ$-term at finite chemical potential $μ$. We find that the quantum critical point in the phase diagram of the model can be detected through the entanglement entropy and entanglement spectrum. As a first step, we chart the phase diagram using conventional methods by computing the dependence of the charge and chiral condensates on the fermion mass $m$, coupling constant $g$, and the chemical potential $μ$. At zero density, the Schwinger model possesses a quantum critical point at $θ=π$ and $m/g \simeq 0.33$. We find that the position of this quantum critical point depends on the chemical potential. Near this quantum critical point, we observe a sharp maximum in the entanglement entropy. Moreover, we find that the quantum critical point can be located from the entanglement spectrum by detecting the position of the gap closing point.

Quantum Information Science and Technology for Nuclear Physics. Input into U.S. Long-Range Planning, 2023

In preparation for the 2023 NSAC Long Range Plan (LRP), members of the Nuclear Science community gathered to discuss the current state of, and plans for further leveraging opportunities in, QIST in NP research at the Quantum Information Science for U.S. Nuclear Physics Long Range Planning workshop, held in Santa Fe, New Mexico on January 31 - February 1, 2023. The workshop included 45 in-person participants and 53 remote attendees. The outcome of the workshop identified strategic plans and requirements for the next 5-10 years to advance quantum sensing and quantum simulations within NP, and to develop a diverse quantum-ready workforce. The plans include resolutions endorsed by the participants to address the compelling scientific opportunities at the intersections of NP and QIST. These endorsements are aligned with similar affirmations by the LRP Computational Nuclear Physics and AI/ML Workshop, the Nuclear Structure, Reactions, and Astrophysics LRP Town Hall, and the Fundamental Symmetries, Neutrons, and Neutrinos LRP Town Hall communities.

Investigating global and topological order of states by local measurement and classical communication: Study on SPT phase diagrams by quantum energy teleportation

Distinguishing non-local orders, including global and topological orders of states through solely local measurements and classical communications (LOCC) is a highly non-trivial and challenging task since the topology of states is determined by the global characteristics of the many-body system, such as the system's symmetry and the topological space it is based on. Here we report that we reproduced the phase diagram of Ising model and symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases using the quantum energy teleportation protocol, which foresees non-trivial energy transfer between remote observers using the entanglement nature of the ground state and LOCC. The model we use includes the Haldane model, the AKLT model and the Kitaev model. Therefore our method paves a new general experimental framework to determine and quantify phase transitions in various condensed matter physics and statistical mechanics.

Long-range quantum energy teleportation and distribution on a hyperbolic quantum network

Teleporting energy to remote locations is new challenge for quantum information science and technology. Developing a method for transferring local energy in laboratory systems to remote locations will enable non-trivial energy flows in quantum networks. From the perspective of quantum information engineering, we propose a method for distributing local energy to a large number of remote nodes using hyperbolic geometry. Hyperbolic networks are suitable for energy allocation in large quantum networks since the number of nodes grows exponentially. To realise long-range quantum energy teleportation, we propose a hybrid method of quantum state telepotation and quantum energy teleportation. By transmitting local quantum information through quantum teleportation and performing conditional operations on that information, quantum energy teleportation can theoretically be realized independent of geographical distance. The method we present will provide new insights into new applications of future large-scale quantum networks and potential applications of quantum physics to information engineering.

Criticality of quantum energy teleportation at phase transition points in quantum field theory

Quantum field theory can be a new medium for communication through quantum energy teleportation. We performed a demonstration of quantum energy teleportation with a relativistic fermionic field theory of self-coupled fermions, called the massive Thirring model. Our results reveal that there is a close relation between the amount of energy teleported and the phase diagram of the theory. In particular, it is shown that the teleported energy peaks near the phase transition points. The results provide new implications for phase diagrams of field theory in terms of quantum communication and quantum computing.

Quantum Extensive Form Games

We propose a concept of quantum extensive-form games, which is a quantum extension of classical extensive-form games. Extensive-form games is a general concept of games such as Go, Shogi, and chess, which have triggered the recent AI revolution, and is the basis for many important game theoretic models in economics. Quantum transitions allow for pairwise annihilation of paths in the quantum game tree, resulting in a probability distribution that is more likely to produce a particular outcome. This is similar in principle to the mechanism of speed-up by quantum computation represented by Grover's algorithm. A quantum extensive-form game is also a generalization of quantum learning, including Quantum Generative Adversarial Networks. As an new example of quantum extensive-form games, we propose a quantum form of the Angel problem originally proposed by Conway in 1996. The classical problem has been solved but by quantizing it, the game becomes non-trivial.

Quantum Protocol for Decision Making and Verifying Truthfulness among $N$-quantum Parties: Solution and Extension of the Quantum Coin Flipping Game

We devised a protocol that allows two parties, who may malfunction or intentionally convey incorrect information in communication through a quantum channel, to verify each other's measurements and agree on each other's results. This has particular relevance in a modified version of the quantum coin flipping game where the possibility of the players cheating is now removed. Furthermore, the analysis is extended to $N$-parties communicating with each other, where we propose multiple solutions for the verification of each player's measurement. The results in the $N$-party scenario could have particular relevance for the implementation of future quantum networks, where verification of quantum information is a necessity.

Topological Aspects of Matters and Langlands Program

The Langlands program is a vast mathematical projection linking number theory and geometry. In high-energy physics, a connection with mirror symmetry has been suggested in string theory, but it has been little studied in low-energy physics. In the framework of the Langlands program, we present a unified description of the integer and fractional quantum Hall effect and the duality found in the fractal nature of the energy spectrum of two-dimensional block electrons, statistical physics, and quantum computation. The new unified view of existing dualism presented in this paper raises the entirely new question of how each theory of physics is connected as a piece of the Langlands program.

Infinitely Repeated Quantum Games and Strategic Efficiency

Repeated quantum game theory addresses long term relations among players who choose quantum strategies. In the conventional quantum game theory, single round quantum games or at most finitely repeated games have been widely studied, however less is known for infinitely repeated quantum games. Investigating infinitely repeated games is crucial since finitely repeated games do not much differ from single round games. In this work we establish the concept of general repeated quantum games and show the Quantum Folk Theorem, which claims that by iterating a game one can find an equilibrium strategy of the game and receive reward that is not obtained by a Nash equilibrium of the corresponding single round quantum game. A significant difference between repeated quantum prisoner's dilemma and repeated classical prisoner's dilemma is that the classical Pareto optimal solution is not always an equilibrium of the repeated quantum game when entanglement is sufficiently strong. When entanglement is sufficiently strong and reward is small, mutual cooperation cannot be an equilibrium of the repeated quantum game. In addition we present several concrete equilibrium strategies of the repeated quantum prisoner's dilemma.

Theory of Quantum Games and Quantum Economic Behavior

The quest of this work is to present discussions of some fundamental questions of economics in the era of quantum technology, which require a treatment different from economics studied thus far in the literature. A study of quantum economic behavior will become the center of attention of economists in the coming decades. We analyze a quantum economy in which players produce and consume quantum goods. They meet randomly and barter with neighbors bilaterally for quantum goods they produced. We clarify the conditions where certain quantum goods emerge endogenously as media of exchange, called quantum commodity money. As quantum strategies are entangled, we find distinctive aspects of quantum games that cannot be explained by conventional classical games. In some situations a quantum player can acquire a quantum good from people regardless of their strategies, while on the other hand people can find quantum strategies that improve their welfare based on an agreement. Those novel properties imply that quantum games also shed new light on theories of mechanism design, auction and contract in the quantum era.

Vortical Quantum Memory

Quantum memory is a crucial component of a quantum information processor, just like a classical memory is a necessary ingredient of a conventional computer. Moreover, quantum memory of light would serve as a quantum repeater needed for quantum communication networks. Here we propose to realize the quantum memory coupled to magnetic modes of electromagnetic radiation (e.g. those found in cavities and optical fibers) using vortices in Quantum Hall systems. We describe the response to an external magnetic mode as a quench, and find that it sets an oscillation between vortices and antivortices, with the period controlled by the amplitude of the magnetic mode, and the phase locked to the phase of the magnetic mode. We support our proposal by real-time Hamiltonian field theory simulations.

Hyperbolic Band Theory under Magnetic Field and Dirac Cones on a Higher Genus Surface

We explore the hyperbolic band theory under a magnetic field for the first time. Our theory is a general extension of the conventional band theory defined on a Euclidean lattice into the band theory on a general hyperbolic lattice/Riemann surface. Our methods and results can be confirmed experimentally by circuit quantum electrodynamics (cQED), which enables us to create novel materials in a hyperbolic space. To investigate the band structures, we construct directly the hyperbolic magnetic Bloch states and find that they form Dirac cones on a coordinate neighborhood, by which they can be regarded as a global quantum gravity solution detectable in a laboratory. Besides this is the first explicit example of a massless Dirac state on a higher genus surface. Moreover we show that the energy spectrum exhibits an unusual fractal structure refracting the negative curvature, when plotted as a function of a magnetic flux.
