Mode entanglement and isospin pairing in two-nucleon systems

Abstract In this study, we explore the entanglement and correlation in two-nucleon systems using isospin formalism. With the help of Slater decomposition, we derive analytical expressions for various entanglement measures. Specifically, we analyse the one- and two-mode entropies, mutual informations, and a basis-independent characteristic known as the one-body entanglement entropy.

To understand the impact of pairing, we consider interactions involving isovector and isoscalar L=0 pairing terms. Our findings show that certain pairing interactions can maximize one-body entanglement entropy of ground states when both total angular momentum and total isospin have zero projections.

We provide numerical examples for the sd shell and explore the mutual informations in LS coupled and jj coupled single-particle bases. We find that the shell structure and angular momentum coupling significantly impact the measures of entanglement. We outline the implications of conserving angular momentum and isospin on one-mode entropies, irrespective of particle number.

Quantifying entanglement for unknown quantum states via artificial neural networks

Quantum entanglement acts as a crucial part in quantum computation and quantum information, hence quantifying unknown entanglement is an important task. Due to the fact that the amount of entanglement cannot be achieved directly by measuring any physical observables, it remains an open problem to quantify entanglement experimentally. In this work, we provide an effective way to quantify entanglement for the unknown quantum states via artificial neural networks. By choosing the expectation values of measurements as input features and the values of entanglement measures as labels, we train artificial neural network models to predict the entanglement for new quantum states accurately. Our method does not require the full information about unknown quantum states, which highlights the effectiveness and versatility of machine learning in exploring quantum entanglement.

Regression of Concurrence via Local Unitary Invariants

Concurrence is a crucial entanglement measure in quantum theory used to describe the degree of entanglement between two or more qubits. Local unitary (LU) invariants can be employed to describe the relevant properties of quantum states. Compared to quantum state tomography, observing LU invariants can save substantial physical resources and reduce errors associated with tomography. In this paper, we use LU invariants as explanatory variables and employ methods such as multiple regression, tree models, and BP neural network models to fit the concurrence of 2-qubit quantum states. For pure states and Werner states, by analyzing the correlation between data, a functional formula for concurrence in terms of LU invariants is obtained. Additionally, for any two-qubit quantum states, the prediction accuracy for concurrence reaches 98.5%.

Capacity of entanglement and volume law

We investigate various aspects of capacity of entanglement in certain setups whose entanglement entropy becomes extensive and obeys a volume law. In particular, considering geometric decomposition of the Hilbert space, we study this measure both in the vacuum state of a family of non-local scalar theories and also in the squeezed states of a local scalar theory. We also evaluate field space capacity of entanglement between interacting scalar field theories. We present both analytical and numerical evidences for the volume law scaling of this quantity in different setups and discuss how these results are consistent with the behavior of other entanglement measures including Renyi entropies. Our study reveals some generic properties of the capacity of entanglement and the corresponding reduced density matrix in the specific regimes of the parameter space. Finally, by comparing entanglement entropy and capacity of entanglement, we discuss some implications of our results on the existence of consistent holographic duals for the models in question.

Increased atom-cavity coupling through cooling-induced atomic reorganization

The strong coupling of atoms to optical cavities can improve optical lattice clocks as the cavity enables metrologically useful collective atomic entanglement and high-fidelity measurement. To this end, it is necessary to cool the ensemble to suppress motional broadening, and advantageous to maximize and homogenize the atom-cavity coupling. We demonstrate resolved Raman sideband cooling via the cavity as a method that can simultaneously achieve both goals. In 200 ms of Raman sideband cooling, we cool Yb171 atoms to an average vibration number 〈nx〉=0.23(7) in the tightly binding direction, resulting in 93% optical π-pulse fidelity on the clock transition S01→P03. During cooling, the atoms self-organize into locations with maximal atom-cavity coupling, which will improve quantum metrology applications. Published by the American Physical Society 2024

Universal Bound on Effective Central Charge and Its Saturation.

The effective central charge (denoted by c_{eff}) is a measure of entanglement through a conformal interface, while the transmission coefficient (encoded in the coefficient c_{LR} of the two-point function of the energy-momentum tensor across the interface) is a measure of energy transmission through the interface. It has been pointed out that these two are generally different. In this Letter, we propose the inequalities, 0≤c_{LR}≤c_{eff}≤min(c_{L},c_{R}). They have the simple but important implication that the amount of energy transmission can never exceed the amount of information transmission. We verify them using the AdS/CFT correspondence, using the perturbation method, and in examples beyond holography. We also show that these inequalities are sharp by constructing a class of interfaces that saturate them.

Entanglement of multi-qubit states representing directed networks and its detection with quantum computing

We consider quantum graph states that can be mapped to directed weighted graphs, also known as directed networks. The geometric measure of entanglement of the states is calculated for the quantum graph states corresponding to arbitrary graphs. We find relationships between the entanglement and the properties of the corresponding graphs. Namely, we obtain that the geometric measure of entanglement of a qubit with other qubits in the graph state is related to the weights of ingoing and outgoing arcs with respect to the vertex representing the qubit, outdegree and indegree of the corresponding vertex in the graph. For unweighted and undirected graphs, the entanglement depends on the degree of the corresponding vertex. Quantum protocol for quantifying of the entanglement of the quantum graph states is constructed. As an example, a quantum graph state corresponding to a chain is examined, and the entanglement of the state is calculated on AerSimulator.

Capacity of entanglement for scalar fields in squeezed states

We study various aspects of capacity of entanglement in the squeezed states of a scalar field theory. This quantity is a quantum informational counterpart of heat capacity and characterizes the width of the eigenvalue spectrum of the reduced density matrix. In particular, we carefully examine the dependence of capacity of entanglement and its universal terms on the squeezing parameter in the specific regimes of the parameter space. Remarkably, we find that the capacity of entanglement obeys a volume law in the large squeezing limit. We discuss how these results are consistent with the behavior of other entanglement measures including entanglement and Renyi entropies. We also comment on the existence of consistent holographic duals for a family of Gaussian states with generic squeezing parameter based on the ratio of entanglement entropy and the capacity of entanglement.

Polygon relations and subadditivity of entropic measures for discrete and continuous multipartite entanglement

In a recent work by us Ge et al [Phys. Rev. A 110, L010402 (2024)], we have derived a series of polygon relations of bipartite entanglement measures that is useful to reveal entanglement properties of discrete, continuous, and even hybrid multipartite quantum systems. In this work, with the information-theoretical measures of Rényi and Tsallis entropies, we study the relationship between the polygon relation and the subadditivity of entropy. In particular, the entropy-polygon relations are derived for pure multi-qubit states and then generalized to multi-mode Gaussian states, by utilizing the known results from the quantum marginal problem. Then the equivalence between the polygon relation and subadditivity is established, in the sense that for all discrete or continuous multipartite states, the polygon relation holds if and only if the underlying entropy is subadditive. As a byproduct, the subadditivity of Rényi and Tsallis entropies is proven for all bipartite Gaussian states. Finally, the difference between polygon relations and monogamy relations is clarified, and generalizations of our results are discussed. Our work provides a better understanding of the rich structure of multipartite states, and hence is expected to be helpful for the study of multipartite entanglement.

Measuring Entanglement in Physical Networks.

The links of a physical network cannot cross, which often forces the network layout into nonoptimal entangled states. Here we define a network fabric as a two-dimensional projection of a network and propose the average crossing number as a measure of network entanglement. We analytically derive the dependence of the average crossing number on network density, average link length, degree heterogeneity, and community structure and show that the predictions accurately estimate the entanglement of both network models and of real physical networks.

Holographic entanglement properties in the QCD phase diagram from Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton models

In this study, we investigate the behavior of entanglement properties in the QCD phase diagram using holographic Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton models. We consider two representative holographic QCD models and examine various entanglement measures, including entanglement entropy, conditional mutual information, and the entanglement of purification. We find that the entanglement entropy obtained using the direct UV-cutoff renormalization method shows significant dependence on the specific model being used. However, the outcomes of other nondivergent entanglement measures, such as cutoff-independent entanglement entropy, conditional mutual information, and the entanglement of purification, exhibit congruence in our calculations. When we focus specifically on the temperature range below 300 MeV, we observe a similar behavior among the three entanglement measures. This may suggest that within this temperature range, the entanglement of QCD matter decreases with increasing temperature. Additionally, we observe distinct phase transition behaviors of entanglement properties at the critical end point and first-order phase transitions. This observation highlights the potential of entanglement properties as effective order parameters for QCD matter phase transitions. Published by the American Physical Society 2024

Encoded-Fusion-Based Quantum Computation for High Thresholds with Linear Optics.

We propose a fault-tolerant quantum computation scheme in a measurement-based manner with finite-sized entangled resource states and encoded-fusion scheme with linear optics. The encoded fusion is an entangled measurement devised to enhance the fusion success probability in the presence of losses and errors based on a quantum error-correcting code. We apply an encoded-fusion scheme, which can be performed with linear optics and active feedforwards to implement the generalized Shor code, to construct a fault-tolerant network configuration in a three-dimensional Raussendorf-Harrington-Goyal lattice based on the surface code. Numerical simulations show that our scheme allows us to achieve up to 10 times higher loss thresholds than nonencoded fusion approaches with limited numbers of photons used in fusion. Our scheme paves an efficient route toward fault-tolerant quantum computing with finite-sized entangled resource states and linear optics.

Maximally Entangled Mixed States for a Fixed Spectrum Do Not Always Exist.

Entanglement is a resource under local operations assisted by classical communication (LOCC). Given a set of states S, if there is one state in S that can be transformed by LOCC into all other states in S, then this state is maximally entangled in S. It is a well-known result that the d-dimensional Bell state is the maximally entangled state in the set of all bipartite states of local dimension d. Since in practical applications noise renders every state mixed, it is interesting to study whether sets of mixed states of relevance enable the notion of a maximally entangled state. A natural choice is the set of all states with the same spectrum. In fact, for any given spectrum distribution on two-qubit states, previous work has shown that several entanglement measures are all maximized by one particular state in this set. This has led us to consider the possibility that this family of states could be the maximally entangled states in the set of all states with the same spectrum, which should then maximize all entanglement measures. In this work, I answer this question in the negative: There are no maximally entangled states for a fixed spectrum in general, i.e., for every possible choice of the spectrum. In order to do so, I consider the case of rank-2 states and show that for particular values of the eigenvalues there exists no state that can be transformed to all other isospectral states not only under LOCC but also under the larger class of nonentangling operations. This in particular implies that in these cases the state that maximizes a given entanglement measure among all states with the same spectrum depends on the choice of entanglement measure; i.e., it cannot be that the aforementioned family of states maximizes all entanglement measures.

Entanglement of defect subregions in double holography

In the framework of double holography, we investigate the entanglement behavior of a subregion of the defect on the boundary of a CFT3. The entanglement entropy of this defect subregion is determined by the quantum extremal surface (QES) anchored at the two endpoints of the subregion from the brane perspective. We further analyze the entanglement entropy of the quantum matter within this QES, which can be extracted from the total entanglement entropy. We find there are two phases of the QES. To numerically distinguish these phases, we design a strategy for approaching the QES by progressively reducing the width of a semi-ellipse-like region within the CFT3, which is bounded by the defect. During this process, we discover an entanglement phase transition driven by the degree of freedom on the brane. In the shrinking phase, the entanglement wedge of the defect subregion sharply decreases to zero as the removal of the CFT3. In contrast, in the stable phase, the wedge almost remains constant. In this phase, the formulas of entanglement measures can be derived based on defect and CFT3 central charges in the semi-classical limit. For entanglement entropy, the classical geometry only contributes a subleading term with logarithmic divergence, but the matter entanglement exhibits a dominant linear divergence, even in the semi-classical limit. For the reflected entropy within the defect subregion, classical geometry contributes a leading term with logarithmic divergence, while the quantum matter within the entanglement wedge only contributes a finite term.

Geometric genuine multipartite entanglement for four-qubit systems

Xie and Eberly introduced a genuine multipartite entanglement (GME) measure ‘concurrence fill’ (Xie and Eberly, 2021) for three-party systems. It is defined as the area of a triangle whose side lengths represent squared concurrence in each bi-partition. However, it has been recently shown that concurrence fill is not monotonic under LOCC, hence not a faithful measure of entanglement. Though it is not a faithful entanglement measure, it encapsulates an elegant geometric interpretation of bipartite squared concurrences. There have been a few attempts to generalize GME quantifier to four-party settings and beyond. However, some of them are not faithful, and others simply lack an elegant geometric interpretation. The recent proposal from Xie et al.. constructs a concurrence tetrahedron, whose volume gives the amount of GME for four-party systems; with generalization to more than four parties being the hypervolume of the simplex structure in that dimension. Here, we show by construction that to capture all aspects of multipartite entanglement, one does not need a more complex structure, and the four-party entanglement can be demonstrated using 2D geometry only. The subadditivity together with the Araki-Lieb inequality of linear entropy is used to construct a direct extension of the geometric GME quantifier to four-party systems resulting in quadrilateral geometry. Our quantifier can be geometrically interpreted as a combination of three quadrilaterals whose sides result from the concurrence in one-to-three bi-partition, and diagonal as concurrence in two-to-two bipartition.

Inferring Physical Properties of Symmetric States from the Fewest Copies.

Learning physical properties of high-dimensional states is crucial for developing quantum technologies but usually consumes an exceedingly large number of samples which are difficult to afford in practice. In this Letter, we use the methodology of quantum metrology to tackle this difficulty, proposing a strategy built upon entangled measurements for dramatically reducing sample complexity. The strategy, whose characteristic feature is symmetrization of observables, is powered by the exploration of symmetric structures of states which are ubiquitous in physics. It is provably optimal under some natural assumption, efficiently implementable in a variety of contexts, and capable of being incorporated into existing methods as a basic building block. We apply the strategy to different scenarios motivated by experiments, demonstrating exponential reductions in sample complexity.

Quantum correlation, entanglement in the kagome lattice non-Hermitian quantum systems

Quantum correlation in the antiferromagnetic XXZ model on kagome lattice and non-Hermitian tight binding model on kagome lattice are investigated. For the Hermitian XXZ model on kagome lattice, the calculations are performed for different extensions of the model with single-ion anisotropy and out-of-plane Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction (DMI). We get the von Neumann entropy as a function of the DMI interaction, anisotropy and single-ion anisotropy with aim to verify the effect of these corrections that occurs in real magnetic systems on quantum correlation. Moreover, the effect of DMI interaction, anisotropy and single-ion anisotropy is investigated on concurrence and entanglement negativity as well. For the non-Hermitian tight binding model on kagome lattice, we analyzed quantum correlation using the entanglement negativity as entanglement measure which is more adequate in this case.

Optical simulation of a quantum cooling engine powered by entangled measurements

Traditional refrigeration is driven either by external forces or by the information-feedback mechanism. Surprisingly, quantum measurement and collapse, typically viewed as detrimental, can also power a quantum cooling engine without requiring any feedback mechanism. In this work, we perform a proof-of-principle demonstration of quantum measurement cooling (QMC) powered by entangled measurements using a highly controllable linear optical simulator. The simulator can simulate qubits with different energy-level spacings and their thermalizing processes at different temperatures, and also allows for arbitrary projections of two qubits at different energy levels. We show the effect of changes in energy levels and measurement bases on the cooling process and demonstrate the robustness of QMC. These results reveal the special role of entangled measurements in quantum thermodynamics, indicate that quantum measurement is not always detrimental but can be a valuable thermodynamic resource. Our setup also offers a highly controllable simulation platform for multiqubit quantum engines.
