- Abstract summary: At quantum critical points, correlations decay as a power law, with exponents determined by a set of universal scaling dimensions.
Here, we employ a Rydberg quantum simulator to adiabatically prepare critical ground states of both a one-dimensional ring and a two-dimensional square lattice.
By accounting for and tuning the openness of our quantum system, we are able to directly observe power-law correlations and extract the corresponding scaling dimensions.

- Abstract: At continuous phase transitions, quantum many-body systems exhibit
scale-invariance and complex, emergent universal behavior. Most strikingly, at
a quantum critical point, correlations decay as a power law, with exponents
determined by a set of universal scaling dimensions. Experimentally probing
such power-law correlations is extremely challenging, owing to the complex
interplay between decoherence, the vanishing energy gap, and boundary effects.
Here, we employ a Rydberg quantum simulator to adiabatically prepare critical
ground states of both a one-dimensional ring and a two-dimensional square
lattice. By accounting for and tuning the openness of our quantum system, which
is well-captured by the introduction of a single phenomenological length scale,
we are able to directly observe power-law correlations and extract the
corresponding scaling dimensions. Moreover, in two dimensions, we observe a
decoupling between phase transitions in the bulk and on the boundary, allowing
us to identify two distinct boundary universality classes. Our work
demonstrates that direct adiabatic preparation of critical states in quantum
simulators can complement recent approaches to studying quantum criticality
using the Kibble-Zurek mechanism or digital quantum circuits.

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.
