• Abstract: We perform digital quantum simulations of the noninteracting Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model using a parameterized quantum circuit. The circuit comprises two main components: the first prepares the initial state from the product state $|0\rangle^{\otimes L}$, where $L$ is the system size; the second consists of $M$ layers of brick-wall unitaries simulating time evolution. The evolution times, encoded as the rotation angles of quantum gates in the second part, are optimized variationally to minimize the energy. The SSH model exhibits two distinct topological phases, depending on the relative strengths of inter- and intra-cell hopping amplitudes. We investigate the evolution of the energy, entanglement entropy, and mutual information towards topologically trivial and nontrivial ground states. Our results find the follows: (i) When the initial and target ground states belong to the same topological phase, the variational energy decreases exponentially, the entanglement entropy quickly saturates in a system-size-independent manner, and the mutual information remains spatially localized, as the number of layers increases. (ii) When the initial and target ground states belong to different topological phases, the variational energy decreases polynomially, the entanglement entropy initially grows logarithmically before decreasing, and the mutual information spreads ballistically across the entire system, with increasing the number of layers. Furthermore, by calculating the polarization, we identify a topological phase transition occurring at an intermediate circuit layer when the initial and final target states lie in different topological characters. Finally, we experimentally confirm this topological phase transition in an 18-site system using 19 qubits on a trapped-ion quantum computer provided by Quantinuum.

  We numerically investigate quantum entanglement and correlation of sub-Ohmic and Ohmic baths for dissipative quantum phase transitions. With several measures borrowed from quantum information theory, three different types of singularities are found for the first-order, second-order, and Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transitions. The scaling form of the quantum discord in the Ohmic case is identified, quite different from that in the sub-Ohmic regime.

• Dynamical Topological Quantum Phase Transitions at Criticality [0.0]
  We contribute to expanding the systematic understanding of the interrelation between the equilibrium quantum phase transition and the dynamical quantum phase transition (DQPT) Specifically, we find that dynamical quantum phase transition relies on the existence of massless it propagating quasiparticles as signaled by their impact on the Loschmidt overlap. The underlying two dimensional model reveals gapless modes, which do not couple to the dynamical quantum phase transitions, while relevant massless quasiparticles present periodic nonanalytic signatures on the Loschmidt amplitude.

  Quantum phase transitions (QPTs) are usually associated with many-body systems with large degrees of freedom approaching the thermodynamic limit. It has been realized that a QPT can occur in a simple system composed of only a two-level atom and a single-mode bosonic field. We report the first experimental demonstration of a QPT in the quantum Rabi model using a single trapped ion.

• Finite-component dynamical quantum phase transitions [0.0]
  We show two types of dynamical quantum phase transitions (DQPTs) in a quantum Rabi model. One refers to distinct phases according to long-time averaged order parameters, the other is focused on the non-analytical behavior emerging in the rate function of the Loschmidt echo. We find the critical times at which the rate function becomes non-analytical, showing its associated critical exponent as well as the corrections introduced by a finite frequency ratio.
