• Title: Berry Curvature and Quantum Metric in $N$-band systems -- an Eigenprojector Approach
• Authors: Ansgar Graf, Fr\'ed\'eric Pi\'echon
• Abstract summary: In $N$-band systems, the quantum geometric tensor (QGT) is usually computed from numerically obtained energy eigenstates. Here, an alternative approach to the QGT based on eigenprojectors and (generalized) Bloch vectors is exposed. The formalism is illustrated using three- and four-band multifold fermion models that have very different geometrical and topological properties.

• Abstract: The eigenvalues of a parameter-dependent Hamiltonian matrix form a band structure in parameter space. In such $N$-band systems, the quantum geometric tensor (QGT), consisting of the Berry curvature and quantum metric tensors, is usually computed from numerically obtained energy eigenstates. Here, an alternative approach to the QGT based on eigenprojectors and (generalized) Bloch vectors is exposed. It offers more analytical insight than the eigenstate approach. In particular, the full QGT of each band can be obtained without computing eigenstates, using only the Hamiltonian matrix and the respective band energy. Most saliently, the well-known two-band formula for the Berry curvature in terms of the Hamiltonian vector is generalized to arbitrary $N$. The formalism is illustrated using three- and four-band multifold fermion models that have very different geometrical and topological properties despite an identical band structure. From a broader perspective, the methodology used in this work can be applied to compute any physical quantity or to study the quantum dynamics of any observable without the explicit construction of energy eigenstates.

We show that one of these linearizations of the von-Neumann equation corresponds to the standard case in which the state vector becomes the column stacked elements of the density matrix. A quantum algorithm to simulate the dynamics of the density matrix is proposed.

  We reformulate the technique of third quantization in a way that explicitly connects all three methods. We first show that our formulation reveals a fundamental dissipative symmetry present in all quadratic bosonic or fermionic Lindbladians. For bosons, we then show that the Wigner function and the characteristic function can be thought of as ''wavefunctions'' of the density matrix.

• Quantum scrambling of observable algebras [0.0]
  quantum scrambling is defined by how the associated physical degrees of freedom get mixed up with others by the dynamics. This is accomplished by introducing a measure, the geometric algebra anti-correlator (GAAC) of the self-orthogonalization of the commutant of $cal A$ induced by the dynamics. For generic energy spectrum we find explicit expressions for the infinite-time average of the GAAC which encode the relation between $cal A$ and the full system of Hamiltonian eigenstates.
