Purification and scrambling in a chaotic Hamiltonian dynamics with measurements

Chaotic transverse-field Ising model with measurements exhibits interesting purification dynamics. Ensemble of non-unitary dynamics of a chaotic many-body system with measurements exhibits a purification phase transition. We numerically find that the law of the increase dynamics of the purity changes by projective measurements in the model. In order to study this behavior in detail, we construct the formalism of the tripartite mutual information (TMI) for non-unitary time evolution operator by using the state-channel map. The numerical result of the saturation value of the TMI indicates the existence of a measurement-induced phase transition. This implies the existence of two distinct phases, mixed phase and purified phase. Furthermore, the real-space spread of the TMI is investigated to explore spatial patterns of information spreading. Even in the purified phase, the spatial pattern of the light cone spread of quantum information is not deformed, but its density of information propagation is reduced on average by the projective measurements. We also find that this spatial pattern of the TMI distinguishes the chaotic and integrable regimes of the system.

Wave-packet and entanglement dynamics in a non-Hermitian many-body system

The static and dynamical properties of a one-dimensional quantum system described by a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian of the so-called Hatano-Nelson type; a tight-binding model with asymmetric (or non-reciprocal) hopping, are studied. The static properties of the model have been much studied; the complex spectrum, skin effect and its topological interpretation, etc. Effects of disorder and inter-particle interaction, especially, when they coexist, may be less understood. Here, we will also focus on its dynamical properties and reveal some unique features in the wave-packet and entanglement (entropy) dynamics. For that some latest (original) results based on improved numerics (with this a system of larger system size $L$ becomes accessible) are shown.

Quantum information spreading in random spin chains with topological order

Quantum information spreading and scrambling in many-body systems attract interests these days. Tripartite mutual information (TMI) based on operator-based entanglement entropy (EE) is an efficient tool for measuring them. In this paper, we study random spin chains that exhibit phase transitions accompanying nontrivial change in topological properties. In their phase diagrams, there are two types of many-body localized (MBL) states and one thermalized regime intervening these two MBL states. Quench dynamics of the EE and TMI display interesting behaviors providing essential perspective concerning encoding of quantum information. In particular, one of the models is self-dual, but information spreading measured by the TMI does not respect this self-duality. We investigate this phenomenon from the viewpoint of spatial structure of the stabilizers. In general, we find that knowledge of phase diagram corresponding to qubit system is useful for understanding nature of quantum information spreading in that system. Connection between the present work and random circuit of projective measurements and also topological Majorana quantum memory is remarked.

Information spreading and scrambling in disorder-free multiple-spin interacting models

Tripartite mutual information (TMI) is an efficient observable to quantify the ability of scrambler for unitary time-evolution operator with quenched many-body Hamiltonian. In this paper, we give numerical demonstrations of the TMI in disorder-free (translational invariant) spin models with 3-body and 4-body multiple-spin interactions. The dynamical behavior of the TMI of these models does {\it not} exhibit linear light-cone for sufficiently strong interactions. In early-time evolution, the TMI displays distinct negative increase behavior fitted by a logarithmic-like function. This is in contrast to the conventional linear light-cone behavior present in the XXZ model and its near integrable vicinity. The late-time evolution of the TMI in finite-size systems is also numerically investigated. The multiple-spin interactions make the system nearly integrable and weakly suppress the spread of information and scrambling. The observation of the late-time value of the TMI indicates that the scrambling nature of the system changes by interactions and this change can be characterized by a phase-transition-like behavior of the TMI, reflecting the system's integrability and breaking of eigenstate thermalization hypothesis.

Localization and slow-thermalization in a cluster spin model

Novel cluster spin model with interactions and disorder is introduced and studied. In specific type of interactions, we find an extensive number of local integrals of motion (LIOMs), which are a modified version of the stabilizers in quantum information, i.e., mutually commuting operators specifying all quantum states in the system. These LIOMs can be defined for any strength of the interactions and disorder, and are of compact-support instead of exponentially-decaying tail. Hence, even under the presence of interactions, integrability is held, and all energy eigenstates are labeled by these LIOMs and can be explicitly obtained. Integrable dynamics is, then, expected to occur. The compact-support nature of the LIOMs crucially prevents the thermalization and entanglement spreading. We numerically investigate dynamics of the system governed by the existence of the compact-support LIOMs, and clarify the effects of additional interactions, which break the compact-support nature of the LIOMs. There, we find that the ordinary MBL behaviors emerge, such as the logarithmic growth of the entanglement entropy in the time evolution. Besides the ergodicity breaking dynamic, we find that symmetry-protected-topological order preserves for specific states even in the presence of the interactions.

Deformation of localized states and state transitions in systems of randomly hopping interacting fermions

We numerically study the random-hopping fermions (the Cruetz ladder) with repulsion and investigate how the interactions deform localized eigenstates by means of the one particle-density matrix (OPDM). The ground state exhibits resurgence of localization from the compact localized state to strong-repulsion-induced localization. On the other hand, excited states in the middle of the spectrum tend to extend by the repulsion. The transition property obtained by numerical calculations of the OPDM is deeply understood by studying a solvable model in which local integrals of motion (LIOMs) are obtained explicitly. The present work clarifies the utility of the OPDM and also how compact-support LIOMs in non-interacting limit are deformed by the repulsion.

Unusual wave-packet spreading and entanglement dynamics in non-Hermitian disordered many-body systems

Non-Hermiticity and dephasing, collaborating in an unusual wave packet dynamics, realizes unconventional entanglement evolution in a disordered, interacting and asymmetric (non-reciprocal) quantum medium. Taking the Hatano-Nelson model as a concrete example, we first consider how wave packet spreads in a non-Hermitian disordered system for demonstraing that it is very different from the Hermitian case. Interestingly, a cascade like wave packet spreading as in the Hermitian case is suppressed in the clean limit and at weak disorder, while it revives in the vicinity of the localization-delocalization transition. Based on this observation, we then analyze how the entanglement entropy of the system evolves in the interacting non-Hermitian model, revealing its non-monotonic evolution in time. We clarify the different roles of dephasing in the time evolution of entanglement entropy in Hermitian and non-Hermitian systems, and show that the many-body dynamics is governed by a principle different from the Hermitian case. The size dependence of the results suggests with the increase of disorder, a unusual area-volume-area law crossover of the maximal entanglement entropy. To analyze the effects of disorder on a firm basis, using the Hermitian limit as a benchmark, we employ a quasi-periodic disorder (Aubry-André model) in the analyses.

Interplay and competition between disorder and flat band in an interacting Creutz ladder

We clarify the interplay and competition between disorder and flat band in the Creutz ladder with inter-particle interactions focusing on the system's dynamics. Without disorder, the Creutz ladder exhibits flat-band many-body localization (FMBL). In this work, we find that disorder generates drastic effects on the system, i.e., addition of it induces a thermal phase first and further increase of it leads the system to the conventional many-body-localized (MBL) phase. The competition gives novel localization properties and unconventional quench dynamics to the system. We first draw the global sketch of the localization phase diagram by focusing on the two-particle system. The thermal phase intrudes between the FMBL and MBL phases, the regime of which depends on the strength of disorder and interactions. Based on the two-particle phase diagram and the properties of the quench dynamics, we further investigate finite-filling cases in detail. At finite-filling fractions, we again find that the interplay/competition between the interactions and disorder in the original flat-band Creutz ladder induces thermal phase, which separates the FMBL and MBL phases. We also verify that the time evolution of the system coincides with the static phase diagrams. For suitable fillings, the conservation of the initial-state information and low-growth entanglement dynamics are also observed. These properties depend on the strength of disorder and interactions.

Multifractality and Fock-space localization in many-body localized states: one-particle density matrix perspective

Many-body localization (MBL) is well characterized in Fock space. To quantify the degree of this Fock space localization, the multifractal dimension $D_q$ is employed; it has been claimed that $D_q$ shows a jump from the delocalized value $D_q=1$ in the ETH phase (ETH: eigenstate thermalization hypothesis) to a smaller value $0<D_q<1$ at the ETH-MBL transition, yet exhibiting a conspicuous discrepancy from the fully localized value $D_q=0$, which indicate that multifractality remains inside the MBL phase. Here, to better quantify the situation we employ, instead of the commonly used computational basis, the one-particle density matrix (OPDM) and use its eigenstates (natural orbitals) as a Fock state basis for representing many-body eigenstates $|ψ\rangle$ of the system. Using this basis, we compute $D_q$ and other indices quantifying the Fock space localization, such as the local purity $S$, which is derived from the occupation spectrum $\{n_α\}$ (eigenvalues of the OPDM). We highlight the statistical distribution of Hamming distance $x_{μν}$ occurring in the pair-wise coefficients $|a_μ|^2|a_ν|^2$ in $S$, and compare this with a related quantity considered in the literature.

Flat-band full localization and symmetry-protected topological phase on bilayer lattice systems

In this work, we present bilayer flat-band Hamiltonians, in which all bulk states are localized and specified by extensive local integrals of motion (LIOMs). The present systems are bilayer extension of Creutz ladder, which is studied previously. In order to construct models, we employ building blocks, cube operators, which are linear combinations of fermions defined in each cube of the bilayer lattice. There are eight cubic operators, and the Hamiltonians are composed of the number operators of them, the LIOMs. A suitable arrangement of locations of the cube operators is needed to have exact projective Hamiltonians. The projective Hamiltonians belong to a topological classification class, BDI class. With the open boundary condition, the constructed Hamiltonians have gapless edge modes, which commute with each other as well as the Hamiltonian. This result comes from a symmetry analogous to the one-dimensional chiral symmetry of the BDI class. These results indicate that the projective Hamiltonians describe a kind of symmetry protected topological phase matter. Careful investigation of topological indexes, such as Berry phase, string operator, is given. We also show that by using the gapless edge modes, a generalized Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model is constructed.

Non-thermalized Dynamics of Flat-Band Many-Body Localization

We find that a flat-band fermion system with interactions and without disorders exhibits non-thermalized ergodicity-breaking dynamics, an analog of many-body localization (MBL). In the previous works, we observed flat-band many-body localization (FMBL) in the Creutz ladder model. The origin of FMBL is a compact localized state governed by local integrals of motion (LIOMs), which are to be obtained explicitly. In this work, we clarify the dynamical aspects of FMBL. We first study dynamics of two-particles, and find that the states are not substantially modified by weak interactions, but the periodic time evolution of entanglement entropy emerges as a result of a specific mechanism inherent in the system. On the other hand, as the strength of the interactions is increased, the modification of the states takes place with inducing instability of the LIOMs. Furthermore, many-body dynamics of the system at finite fillings is numerically investigated by time-evolving block decimation (TEBD) method. For a suitable choice of the filling, non-thermal and low entangled dynamics appears. This behavior is a typical example of the disorder-free FMBL.

Effects of power-law correlated disorders in XXZ spin chain: Many-body localized to thermal phase transition and its critical regime

We study a canonical many-body-localized (MBL) system with power-law-correlated disorders: $s=\frac{1}{2}$ spin chain in a random magnetic field. The power-law-correlated disorder can control the critical regime between the MBL and thermal (ergodic) phases by varying its exponent, and it let us investigate the MBL transitions in detail. Static-eigenstate and dynamic properties of MBL are studied by numerical methods for systems with various long-range correlations. By using energy-resolved distribution of the participation ratio (PR) and calculating some physical quantities related to localization length, we show that the MBL transition exhibits certain universal behavior. We also investigate entanglement properties for the static and dynamics system. These studies elucidate the impact of power-law-correlated disorders in the canonical MBL system.

Exact projector Hamiltonian, local integrals of motion, and many-body localization with topological order

In this work, we construct an exact projector Hamiltonian with interactions, which is given by a sum of mutually commuting operators called stabilizers. The model is based on the recently studied Creutz-ladder of fermions, in which flat-band structure and strong localization are realized. These stabilizers are local integrals of motion from which many-body localization (MBL) is realized. All energy eigenstates are explicitly obtained even in the presence of local disorders. All states are MBL states, that is, this system is a full many-body localized (FMBL) system. We show that this system has a topological order and stable gapless edge modes exist under the open boundary condition. By the numerical study, we investigate stability of the FMBL and topological order.

Flat-band many-body localization and ergodicity breaking in the Creutz ladder

We study disorder-free many-body localization in the flat-band Creutz ladder, which was recently realized in cold-atoms in an optical lattice. In a non-interacting case, the flat-band structure of the system leads to a Wannier wavefunction localized on four adjacent lattice sites. In the flat-band regime both with and without interactions, the level spacing analysis exhibits Poisson-like distribution indicating the existence of disorder-free localization. Calculations of the inverse participation ratio support this observation. Interestingly, this type of localization is robust to weak disorders, whereas for strong disorders, the system exhibits a crossover into the conventional disorder-induced many-body localizated phase. Physical picture of this crossover is investigated in detail. We also observe non-ergodic dynamics in the flat-band regime without disorder. The memory of an initial density wave pattern is preserved for long times.

Topological order versus many-body localization in periodically modulated spin chains

In this paper, we study periodically modulated $s=1/2$ spin chain in a linear gradient potential (LP) that is generated by an external magnetic field. In the absence of the LP, the system has topological states that exhibit a magnetization plateau for a uniform external magnetic field. These topological states have a finite integer Chern number and their stability is clarified by an equivalent spinless fermion system derived by a Jordan-Wigner transformation. We show that the LP, which is nothing but a constant electric field in the spinless fermion system, destabilizes the topological states, because it induces localization called Wannier-Stark (WS) localization. We clarify the phase diagram in the presence of the LP and on-site diagonal disorder. To this end, we carefully study edge excitations under the open boundary condition, which are a hallmark of the topological order. We find a very interesting phenomenon indicating existence of a quasi-edge modes that take the place of the genuine edge modes in certain parameter regions. This is a precursor of the WS localization realized in topological states. Finally, we investigate many-body localization induced by a sufficiently strong LP or disorder. To this end, we study the energy-level statistics for whole energy levels, and find unexpected extended-state regimes located in intermediate potential-gradient and weak on-site disorder regimes. We verify this phenomenon by calculating variance of the entanglement entropy. The present system is closely related to quantum Hall state in two dimensions, and therefore our findings can be observed not only in experiments on ultra-cold atomic gases but also quantum Hall physics.

Extended stream functions for dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensations: Snake instability of dark soliton in ultra-cold atoms as an example

In this paper, we formulate extended stream functions (ESFs) to describe the dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensations in the two-dimensional space. The ordinary stream function is applicable only for stationary and incompressible superfluids, whereas the ESFs can describe the dynamics of compressible and non-stationary superfluids. The ESFs are composed of two stream functions, i.e., one describes the compressible density modulations and the other the incompressible rotational superflow. As an application, we study the snake instability of the dark soliton in a rectangular potential in detail by the ESFs.
