• Title: Characterizing quantum criticality and steered coherence in the XY-Gamma chain
• Authors: Zhuan Zhao, Tian-Cheng Yi, Ming Xue, and Wen-Long You
• Abstract summary: We analytically solve the one-dimensional short-range interacting case with the Jordan-Wigner transformation. In the gapless phase, an incommensurate spiral order is manifested by the vector-chiral correlations. We derive explicit scaling forms of the excitation gap near the quantum critical points.

• Abstract: In this paper, we show that an effective spin Hamiltonian with various types of couplings can be engineered using quantum simulators in atomic-molecular-optical laboratories, dubbed the \emph{XY}-Gamma model. We analytically solve the one-dimensional short-range interacting case with the Jordan-Wigner transformation and establish the phase diagram. In the gapless phase, an incommensurate spiral order is manifested by the vector-chiral correlations. Between distinct gapped phases, a logarithmic scaling behavior of local measures, including spin correlations and the steered quantum coherence, is identified for the quantum critical points, yielding a compelling value of the correlation-length critical exponent. We derive explicit scaling forms of the excitation gap near the quantum critical points. The extracted critical exponents reveal the quantum phase transition on the boundary of Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid belongs to Lifshitz universality class.Our results may provide useful insights into the underlying mechanism in quantum criticality for state-of-the-art experiments of quantum simulation.
