• Title: Kosterlitz-Thouless phase and $Z_d$ topological quantum phase
• Authors: Mohammad Hossein Zarei
• Abstract summary: We find a corresponding quantum model constructed by applying a local invertible transformation on a d-level version of Kitaev's Toric code. We identify an extended topological phase transition in our model in a sense that, for $d geq 5$, a KT-like quantum phase emerges between a $Z_d$ topological phase and a trivial phase.

• Abstract: It has been known that encoding Boltzmann weights of a classical spin model in amplitudes of a many-body wave function can provide quantum models whose phase structure is characterized by using classical phase transitions. In particular, such correspondence can lead to find new quantum phases corresponding to well-known classical phases. Here, we investigate this problem for Kosterlitz-Thouless (KT) phase in the d-state clock model where we find a corresponding quantum model constructed by applying a local invertible transformation on a d-level version of Kitaev's Toric code. In particular, we show the ground state fidelity in such quantum model is mapped to the heat capacity of the clock model. Accordingly, we identify an extended topological phase transition in our model in a sense that, for $d \geq 5$, a KT-like quantum phase emerges between a $Z_d$ topological phase and a trivial phase. Then, using a mapping to the correlation function in the clock model, we introduce a non-local (string) observable for the quantum model which exponentially decays in terms of distance between two endpoints of the corresponding string in the $Z_d$ topological phase while it shows a power law behavior in the KT-like phase. Finally, using well-known transition temperatures for d-state clock model we give evidences to show that while stability of both $Z_d$ topological phase and the KT-like phase increases by increasing d, the KT-like phase is even more stable than the $Z_d$ topological phase for large d.

  We study dynamical quantum phase transitions (DQPTs) in the quenched extended Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model. Anomalous DQPTs, where the number of critical momenta exceeds the winding number differences between the pre-quench and post-quench phases, are observed. We categorize the phases in the equilibrium model into two classes and distinctive features in the time evolution of the entanglement involving quenches within and across the two classes are identified.

  Entanglement is known as an important indicator for characterizing different types of quantum phase transitions (QPTs) We consider global entanglement (GE) in a KT phase transition and show that while it does not indicate any clear signature of the phase transition, the conditional version of GE is a good indicator with strong signatures of the KT transition.

• Quantum Statistical Complexity Measure as a Signalling of Correlation Transitions [55.41644538483948]
  We introduce a quantum version for the statistical complexity measure, in the context of quantum information theory, and use it as a signalling function of quantum order-disorder transitions. We apply our measure to two exactly solvable Hamiltonian models, namely: the $1D$-Quantum Ising Model and the Heisenberg XXZ spin-$1/2$ chain. We also compute this measure for one-qubit and two-qubit reduced states for the considered models, and analyse its behaviour across its quantum phase transitions for finite system sizes as well as in the thermodynamic limit by using Bethe ansatz.
