• Abstract: Quantum Fisher information (QFI) is a measure of multipartite quantum entanglement that can be obtained from inelastic neutron scattering data on quantum magnets. In this work, we demonstrate that the QFI can distinguish an unconventional quantum critical point (QCP) with fractionalization and emergent gauge structure from conventional ones within the Landau paradigm. We compute the QFI, via large-scale quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations and exact diagonalization, in a kagome lattice quantum spin liquid (QSL) model with an XY and a cluster-Ising interactions. When the XY interaction is ferromagetic, the QFI obtained by QMC reveals a large anomalous dimension, which is a fingerprint of the (2+1)d XY$^\ast$ universality class for the transition from the ferromagnetic phase to the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ QSL. The investigation of thermal and dynamical properties of QFI is further extended to the case of antiferromagnetic XY interaction via exact diagonalization. In this regime, a transition to a possibly distinct QSL phase is suggested via both entanglement-based probes, such as QFI and genuine multipartite negativity, and analyses of the energy spectrum and structure factors. These results not only demonstrate the versatility of QFI in identifying QSL states and unconventional QCPs but also provide useful guidance for future theoretical and experimental studies of frustrated magnets.

  A quantum simulation of magnetism in trapped-ion systems makes use of the crystal vibrations to mediate pairwise interactions between spins. These interactions can be accounted for by a long-wavelength relativistic theory, where the phonons are described by a coarse-grained Klein-Gordon field. We show that thermal effects, which can be controlled by laser cooling, can unveil this flow through the appearance of thermal masses in interacting QFTs.

We find that the quantum simulator results can indeed be explained by the KZM for open-system quantum dynamics with phase-flip errors. This implies that the theoretical predictions of the generalized KZM theory, which assumes isolation from the environment, applies beyond its original scope to an open system.
