• Title: Multi-boundary generalization of thermofield double states and their realization in critical quantum spin chains
• Authors: Yijian Zou, Guifre Vidal
• Abstract summary: We show that thermofield double states are closely related to multi-point correlation functions. We show how to approximately realize these multi-boundary TFD states numerically on the lattice. One merit of the spin chain realization is that it allows us to probe the properties of the proposed multi-boundary TFD states.

• Abstract: We propose a multi-boundary generalization of thermofield double states (TFD) of a two-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT) and show, through a conformal map to the complex plane, that they are closely related to multi-point correlation functions. We then also describe how to approximately realize these multi-boundary TFD states numerically on the lattice, starting from a critical quantum spin chain Hamiltonian. In addition, finite size corrections on the lattice are seen to be significantly reduced by the use of \textit{smoothers} -- numerically optimized unitary transformations that locally re-arrange the quantum spin degrees of freedom. One merit of the spin chain realization is that it allows us to probe the properties of the proposed multi-boundary TFD states through numerical experiments, including the characterization of their entanglement structure. As an illustration, we explicitly construct generalized TFD states with three and four boundaries for the Ising CFT and compute entanglement quantities using novel free fermion techniques. We find ranges of parameters where their multipartite entanglement is significant or negligible.

• Entanglement swapping in critical quantum spin chains [0.0]
  Transfer of quantum information between many-qubit states is a subject of fundamental importance in quantum science and technology. We consider entanglement swapping in critical quantum spin chains, where the entanglement between the two chains is induced solely by the Bell-state measurements. We show that the swapped entanglement exhibits a logarithmic scaling, whose coefficient takes a universal value determined by the scaling dimension of the boundary condition changing operator.

  An entanglement measure based on the Fubini-Study metric has been recently introduced by Cocchiarella and co-workers. We present the Gaussian Entanglement Measure (GEM), a generalization of geometric entanglement measure for multimode Gaussian states. By providing a computable multipartite entanglement measure for systems with a large number of degrees of freedom, we show that our definition can be used to obtain insights into a free bosonic field theory.

  Quantum multicritical points (QMCPs) emerge at the junction of two or more quantum phase transitions. We characterize the QMCP of an interacting heterogeneous quantum system in two and three dimensions. The QMCP of the RTIM is found to exhibit ultraslow, activated dynamic scaling, governed by an infinite disorder fixed point.

  Two-dimensional quantum Rokhsar-Kivelson (RK) type models can be mapped into the partition functions of two-dimensional statistical models. We introduce the universality of the thermofield double (TFD) state, which is a purification of the equilibrium density operator. By expressing the TFD state in terms of the projected entangled pair state, its $N$-order of R'enyi entropy results in a three-dimensional statistical model in Euclidian spacetime.

  Topological quantum optical states in one-dimensional (1D) quasiperiodic cold atomic chains are studied in this work. We propose that by introducing incommensurate modulations on the interatomic distances of 1D periodic atomic chains, the Aubry-Andr'e-Harper model can be mimicked. It is found that the present system indeed supports nontrivial topological states localized over the boundaries.
