Compressive Sensing with Wigner $D$-functions on Subsets of the Sphere

In this paper, we prove a compressive sensing guarantee for restricted measurement domains on the rotation group, $\mathrm{SO}(3)$. We do so by first defining Slepian functions on a measurement sub-domain $R$ of the rotation group $\mathrm{SO}(3)$. Then, we transform the inverse problem from the measurement basis, the bounded orthonormal system of band-limited Wigner $D$-functions on $\mathrm{SO}(3)$, to the Slepian functions in a way that limits increases to signal sparsity. Contrasting methods using Wigner $D$-functions that require measurements on all of $\mathrm{SO}(3)$, we show that the orthogonality structure of the Slepian functions only requires measurements on the sub-domain $R$, which is select-able. Due to the particulars of this approach and the inherent presence of Slepian functions with low concentrations on $R$, our approach gives the highest accuracy when the signal under study is well concentrated on $R$. We provide numerical examples of our method in comparison with other classical and compressive sensing approaches. In terms of reconstruction quality, we find that our method outperforms the other compressive sensing approaches we test and is at least as good as classical approaches but with a significant reduction in the number of measurements.

On Grid Compressive Sampling for Spherical Field Measurements in Acoustics

We derive a compressive sampling method for acoustic field reconstruction using field measurements on a predefined spherical grid that has theoretically guaranteed relations between signal sparsity, measurement number, and reconstruction accuracy. This method can be used to reconstruct band-limited spherical harmonic or Wigner $D$-function series (spherical harmonic series are a special case) with sparse coefficients. Contrasting typical compressive sampling methods for Wigner $D$-function series that use arbitrary random measurements, the new method samples randomly on an equiangular grid, a practical and commonly used sampling pattern. Using its periodic extension, we transform the reconstruction of a Wigner $D$-function series into a multi-dimensional Fourier domain reconstruction problem. We establish that this transformation has a bounded effect on sparsity level and provide numerical studies of this effect. We also compare the reconstruction performance of the new approach to classical Nyquist sampling and existing compressive sampling methods. In our tests, the new compressive sampling approach performs comparably to other guaranteed compressive sampling approaches and needs a fraction of the measurements dictated by the Nyquist sampling theorem. Moreover, using one-third of the measurements or less, the new compressive sampling method can provide over 20 dB better denoising capability than oversampling with classical Fourier theory.

Layered Chaos in Mean-field and Quantum Many-body Dynamics

We investigate the dimension of the phase space attractor of a quantum chaotic many-body ratchet in the mean-field limit. Specifically, we explore a driven Bose-Einstein condensate in three distinct dynamical regimes - Rabi oscillations, chaos, and self-trapping regime, and for each of them we calculate the correlation dimension. For the ground state of the ratchet formed by a system of field-free non-interacting particles, we find four distinct pockets of chaotic dynamics throughout these regimes. We show that a measurement of a local density in each of the dynamical regimes, has an attractor characterized with a higher fractal dimension, $D_{R}=2.59\pm0.01$, $D_{C}=3.93\pm0.04$, and $D_{S}=3.05\pm0.05$, as compared to the global measure of current, $D_{R}=2.07\pm0.02$, $D_{C}=2.96\pm0.05$, and $D_{S}=2.30\pm0.02$. We find that the many-body case converges to mean-field limit with strong sub-unity power laws in particle number $N$, namely $N^α$ with $α_{R}={0.28\pm0.01}$, $α_{C}={0.34\pm0.067}$ and $α_{S}={0.90\pm0.24}$ for each of the dynamical regimes mentioned above. The deviation between local and global measurement of the attractor's dimension corresponds to an increase towards high condensate depletion which remains constant for long time scales in both Rabi and chaotic regimes. The depletion is found to scale polynomially with particle number as $N^β$ with $β_{R}={0.51\pm0.004}$ and $β_{C}={0.18\pm0.004}$ for the two regimes. Thus, we find a strong deviation from the mean-field results, especially in the chaotic regime of the quantum ratchet. The ratchet also reveals quantum revivals in the Rabi and self-trapped regimes but not in the chaotic regime. Based on the obtained results we outline pathways for the identification and characterization of the emergent phenomena in driven many-body systems.

A complex network description of thermal quantum states in the Ising spin chain

We use network analysis to describe and characterize an archetypal quantum system - an Ising spin chain in a transverse magnetic field. We analyze weighted networks for this quantum system, with link weights given by various measures of spin-spin correlations such as the von Neumann and Renyi mutual information, concurrence, and negativity. We analytically calculate the spin-spin correlations in the system at an arbitrary temperature by mapping the Ising spin chain to fermions, as well as numerically calculate the correlations in the ground state using matrix product state methods, and then analyze the resulting networks using a variety of network measures. We demonstrate that the network measures show some traits of complex networks already in this spin chain, arguably the simplest quantum many-body system. The network measures give insight into the phase diagram not easily captured by more typical quantities, such as the order parameter or correlation length. For example, the network structure varies with transverse field and temperature, and the structure in the quantum critical fan is different from the ordered and disordered phases.

Quantifying Complexity in Quantum Phase Transitions via Mutual Information Complex Networks

We quantify the emergent complexity of quantum states near quantum critical points on regular 1D lattices, via complex network measures based on quantum mutual information as the adjacency matrix, in direct analogy to quantifying the complexity of EEG/fMRI measurements of the brain. Using matrix product state methods, we show that network density, clustering, disparity, and Pearson's correlation obtain the critical point for both quantum Ising and Bose-Hubbard models to a high degree of accuracy in finite-size scaling for three classes of quantum phase transitions, $Z_2$, mean field superfluid/Mott insulator, and a BKT crossover.

Many-body Quantum Chaos and Entanglement in a Quantum Ratchet

We uncover signatures of quantum chaos in the many-body dynamics of a Bose-Einstein condensate-based quantum ratchet in a toroidal trap. We propose measures including entanglement, condensate depletion, and spreading over a fixed basis in many-body Hilbert space which quantitatively identify the region in which quantum chaotic many-body dynamics occurs, where random matrix theory is limited or inaccessible. With these tools we show that many-body quantum chaos is neither highly entangled nor delocalized in the Hilbert space, contrary to conventionally expected signatures of quantum chaos.
