Quantum battery with non-Hermitian charging

We propose a design of a quantum battery exploiting the non-Hermitian Hamiltonian as a charger. In particular, starting with the ground or the thermal state of the interacting (non-interacting) Hamiltonian as the battery, the charging of the battery is performed via parity-time (PT)- and rotational-time (RT)-symmetric Hamiltonian to store energy. We report that such a quenching with a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian leads to an enhanced power output compared to a battery with a Hermitian charger. We identify the region in the parameter space which provides the gain in performance. We also demonstrate that the improvements persist with the increase of system size for batteries with both PT- and RT-symmetric chargers. In the PT-symmetric case, although the anisotropy of the XY model does not help in the performance, we show that the XXZ model as a battery with a non-Hermitian charger performs better than that of the XX model having certain interaction strengths. We also exhibit that the advantage of non-Hermiticity remains valid even at finite temperatures in the initial states.

Necessary condition for information transfer under simulated parity-time-symmetric evolution

Parity-time (PT) symmetric quantum theory can broaden the scope of quantum dynamics beyond unitary evolution which may lead to numerous counter-intuitive phenomena, including single-shot discrimination of non-orthogonal states, faster evolution of state than the standard quantum speed limit, and violation of no-signaling principle. On the other hand, PT-symmetric evolution can be realized as reduced dynamics of a subsystem in real experiments within the scope of standard quantum theory. In this experimental setup, if one side of a composite system is evolved according to a PT-symmetric way, a non-trivial information transfer can happen, i.e., the operation performed at one side can be gathered by the other side. By considering an arbitrary shared state between two parties situated in two distant locations and arbitrary measurements, we show that the PT-symmetric evolution of the reduced subsystem at one side is not sufficient for this information transfer to occur. Specifically, we prove that the information transfer can only happen when the density matrix and the corresponding measurements contain complex numbers. Moreover, we connect the entanglement content of the shared state with the efficacy of information transfer. We find evidence that the task becomes more efficient with the increase of dimension.

Discovering Factorization Surface of Quantum Spin Chains with Machine Learning

Entanglement in quantum many-body systems is required for a variety of quantum information tasks, making it crucial to identify the parameter space in which the ground state is fully separable, known as the factorization surface (FS). Nonetheless, the tuning parameters indicating FS for several quantum spin models remain unknown. We employ symbolic regression (SR), a supervised learning technique, to determine a closed-form expression in the parameter regime corresponding to FS of quantum many-body Hamiltonians. We verify the effectiveness of this method by examining the analytically tractable models, namely a nearest-neighbor (NN) quantum transverse XY model with additional Kaplan-Shekhtman-Entin-Aharony interactions, for which the FS is well-known. We construct an accurate expression for the FS of the XYZ model by providing the parameter set through the SR algorithm in which the ground state is derived by matrix product state formalism. With a satisfactory level of accuracy, we estimate the FS for the long-range XY model, and the NN XY model with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya type asymmetric interaction for which the factorization surface is not known.

Dimensional gain in sensing through higher-dimensional quantum spin chain

Recent breakthroughs in quantum technology pave the way for extensive utilization of higher-dimensional quantum systems, which outperform their qubit counterparts in terms of capabilities and versatility. We present a framework for accurately predicting weak external magnetic fields using a higher-dimensional many-body quantum probe. We demonstrate that dimension serves as a valuable resource for quantum sensing when a transverse spin-s Ising chain interacts locally with a magnetic field whose strength has to be determined. We observe the distinct performance of sensors for spin chains with half-integer and integer spins. Furthermore, we highlight that the time duration appropriate for quantum-enhanced sensing increases with the increase of dimension. Additionally, we observe that, in addition to nearest-neighbor interactions, incorporating interactions between the next nearest-neighbor sites increases sensing precision, particularly for spin chains with integer spins. We also prove the dimensional-dependence of the bound on quantum Fisher information which provides the limit on the precision in estimating parameters.

Framework of dynamical transitions from long-range to short-range quantum systems

A quantum many-body system undergoes phase transitions of distinct species with variations of local and global parameters. We propose a framework in which a dynamical quantity can change its behavior for quenches across global (coarse-grained criterion) or local system parameters (fine-grained criterion), revealing the global transition points. We illustrate our technique by employing the long-range extended Ising model in the presence of a transverse magnetic field. We report that by distinguishing between algebraic and exponential scaling of the total correlation in the steady state, one can identify the first transition point that conventional indicators such as the rate function fail to detect. To determine the second one, we exploit the traditional local quenches. During quenches with and without crossing the critical points along the local parameter, total correlation follows either the same or different scaling laws depending on its global phase.

Quantum Battery with Ultracold Atoms: Bosons vs. Fermions

We design a quantum battery made up of bosons or fermions in an ultracold-atom setup, described by Fermi-Hubbard and Bose-Hubbard models, respectively. We compare the performance of bosons and fermions to determine which can function as a quantum battery more effectively given a particular on-site interaction and initial state temperature. The performance of a quantum battery is quantified by the maximum energy stored per unit time over the evolution under an on-site charging Hamiltonian. We report that when the initial battery state is in the ground state, fermions outperform bosons in a certain configuration over a large range of on-site interactions which are shown analytically for a smaller number of lattice sites and numerically for a considerable number of sites. Bosons take the lead when the temperature is comparatively high in the initial state for a longer range of on-site interaction. We study a number of up and down fermions as well as the number of bosons per site to find the optimal filling factor for maximizing the average power of the battery. We also introduce disorder in both on-site and hopping parameters and demonstrate that the maximum average power is robust against impurities. Moreover, we identify a range of tuning parameters in the fermionic and bosonic systems where the disorder-enhanced power is observed.

Detection of unbroken phase of non-Hermitian system via Hermitian factorization surface

In the traditional quantum theory, one-dimensional quantum spin models possess a factorization surface where the ground states are fully separable having vanishing bipartite as well as multipartite entanglement. We report that in the non-Hermitian counterpart of these models, these factorization surfaces either can predict the exceptional points where the unbroken-to-broken transition occurs or can guarantee the reality of the spectrum, thereby proposing a procedure to reveal the unbroken phase. We first analytically demonstrate it for the nearest-neighbour rotation-time RT-symmetric XY model with uniform and alternating transverse magnetic fields, referred to as the iATXY model. Exact diagonalization techniques are then employed to establish this fact for the RT-symmetric XYZ model with short- and long-range interactions as well as for the long-ranged iATXY model. Moreover, we show that although the factorization surface prescribes the unbroken phase of the non-Hermitian model, the bipartite nearest-neighbour entanglement at the exceptional point is nonvanishing.

Predicting Critical Phases from Entanglement Dynamics in XXZ Alternating Chain

The quantum XXZ spin model with alternating bond strengths under magnetic field has a rich equilibrium phase diagram which includes Haldane, Luttinger liquid, singlet, and paramagnetic phases. We show that the nearest neighbor bipartite and multipartite entanglement can detect quantum critical lines and phases in this model. We determine a region in parameter space in which the dynamical states, starting from the ground state of the Haldane (dimer) phase can create highly multipartite entangled states for any time period, thereby establishing it as a potential candidate for the implementation of quantum information tasks. We also exhibit that if the initial and evolved states are in two different phases, the nonanalytic behavior of multipartite entanglement and the rate function based on Loschmidt echo can signal quantum phase transition happened at zero temperature. In a similar spirit, we report that from the product state, the patterns of block entanglement entropy of the evolved state with time can also infer the phase transition at equilibrium.

Distribution of entanglement with variable range interactions

Distribution of quantum entanglement is investigated for an anisotropic quantum XY model with variable range interactions and in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field. We report the possibility of \emph{qualitative} growth in the entanglement between distant sites with an increase in the range of interactions that vary either exponentially or polynomially as the distance between the sites increases. Interestingly, we find that such entanglement enhancement is not ubiquitous and is dependent on the factorization points, a specific set of system parameters where the zero-temperature state of the system is fully separable. In particular, we observe that at zero-temperature, when the system parameters are chosen beyond the pair of factorization points, the increments in entanglement length due to variable range interactions are more pronounced compared to the situation when the parameters lie in between the factorization points. By employing the sum of all the bipartite entanglements with respect to a single site, we also show that the shareability of the bipartite entanglements are constrained, thereby establishing their monogamous nature. Furthermore, we note that the factorization points get reallocated depending on the laws of interaction fall-offs and provide an ansatz for the same. We reveal that the temperature at which the canonical equilibrium state becomes entangled from an unentangled one increases with the increase in the range of interactions, thereby demonstrating enhanced robustness in entanglement against temperature in the presence of long-range interactions and only when the system parameters are chosen between the pair of factorization points. We apply an energy-based entanglement witness to provide a justification to the observed robustness with temperature.

Emergence of maximal acceleration from non-commutativity of space-time

In this paper, we show that the causally connected $4$-dimensional line element of the $κ$-deformed Minkowski space-time induces an upper cut-off on the proper acceleration and derive this maximal acceleration, valid up to first order in the deformation parameter. We find a contribution to maximal acceleration which is independent of $\hbar$ and thus signals effect of the non-commutativity alone. We also construct the $κ$-deformed geodesic equation and obtain its $κ$-deformed Newtonian limit, valid up to first order in deformation parameter. Using this, we constrain non-commutative parameters present in the expression for maximal acceleration. We analyse different limits of the maximal acceleration and also discuss its implication to maximal temperature. We also obtain a bound on the deformation parameter.

Decoherence-free mechanism to protect long-range entanglement against decoherence

Quantum spin models with variable-range interactions can exhibit certain quantum characteristics that a short-ranged model cannot possess. By considering the quantum XYZ model whose interaction strength between different sites varies either exponentially or polynomially, we report the creation of long-range entanglement in dynamics both in the absence and presence of system-bath interactions. Specifically, during closed dynamics, we determine a parameter regime from which the system should start its evolution so that the resulting state after quench can produce a high time-averaged entanglement having low fluctuations. Both in the exponential and power-law decays, it occurs when the magnetic field is weak and the interactions in the z-direction are nonvanishing. When part of the system interacts with the bath repeatedly or is attached to a collection of harmonic oscillators along with dephasing noise in the z-direction, we observe that long-range entanglement of the subparts which are not attached with the environment remains constant with time in the beginning of the evolution, known as freezing of entanglement, thereby demonstrating a method to protect long-range entanglement. We find that the frozen entanglement content in any length and the time up to which freezing occurs called the freezing terminal to follow a complementary relation for all ranges of interactions. However, we find that for a fixed range of entanglement, there exists a critical value of interaction length which leads to the maximum freezing terminal.
