Abstract

We investigate a spin-$1/2$ anisotropic Heisenberg model on a lattice consisting of two identical bipartite sublattices. A family of exact eigenstates generated by the restricted spectrum generating algebra (RSGA) constitutes quantum many-body scar states, characterized by subextensive entanglement entropy and supporting. These scar states are magnon-pair condensates exhibiting off-diagonal long-range order (ODLRO). At the resonance point of the inter-sublattice interaction, the model exactly maps onto a mixed spin-$1$ and spin-$0$ XY model on a bipartite lattice, which decomposes into independent sub-Hamiltonians labeled by all possible spin configurations. Each spin-$0$ particle is dynamically isolated from its neighbors and acts as a kinetic constraint, giving rise to emergent Hilbert space fragmentation (HSF). Our work establishes an exactly solvable platform in which quantum many-body scars, magnon-pair condensation exhibiting off-diagonal long-range order, and Hilbert space fragmentation naturally coexist.

Universality of Energy-Space Entanglement in Quantum Impurity Models

Entanglement entropy (EE) is commonly studied using real-space bipartitions. We show that, in quantum impurity models, an energy-space bipartition, equivalent to the momentum-space bipartition of the bath, can display universal behavior. Motivated by poor man's scaling, we logarithmically discretize the bath and partition it into high- and low-energy sectors. For models with Fermi-liquid fixed points, including the Anderson model and fully screened or underscreened Kondo models, the low-energy EE flows to constants independent of model parameters. These constants are integer multiples of $\ln 2$ plus corrections that depend only on the logarithmic discretization parameter $\Lambda$. We show that scale invariance of the fixed-point wavefunction in energy space maps to effective translation invariance along a one-dimensional chain, allowing the fixed points to be classified by one-dimensional topological band theory. With low-energy chiral symmetry, each $\ln 2$ contribution originates from a topological edge mode. We also study transitions between distinct Fermi-liquid fixed points using the local-singlet--Kondo-singlet transition in a two-orbital Anderson model driven by an inter-orbital antiferromagnetic coupling. The local-singlet phase has an effectively decoupled impurity and nearly vanishing EE, whereas the Kondo-singlet phase has finite EE larger than $\ln 2$ per spin and orbital. When chiral symmetry holds at low energies, this distinction corresponds to a topological transition of the effective bath chain. At the non-Fermi-liquid critical point, the EE develops an unstable plateau. Its $\Lambda$ dependence resembles that of the overscreened two-channel Kondo model, supporting universality within the same non-Fermi-liquid universality class.

Quantum computer-based simulation of Stark many-body localization in a 1D Fermi-Hubbard model

This work studies Stark MBL in a 12-qubit correlated fermionic system described by the one-dimensional Fermi-Hubbard model using Hamiltonian simulation on an IBM superconducting qubit quantum computer and exhibits a crossover from thermalizing dynamics of the system at a weak tilt of the field to a strongly localized behavior at large tilt with short evolution times.

Entanglement asymmetry in the gapped XYZ spin-$\frac12$ chain

The entanglement asymmetry measures how strongly a symmetry is broken inside a subsystem. Analytic results at equilibrium have so far covered free theories and, perturbatively, the critical XXZ chain. We compute the R\'enyi entanglement asymmetries of a large interval in the gapped, $U(1)$-breaking phase of the interacting XYZ chain. The calculation combines three ingredients. A charged-moment identity, which we prove for fermionic Gaussian and for injective matrix-product ground states, ties the asymmetry to the static susceptibility of the broken charge. A non-conservation sum rule then evaluates the susceptibility from sine-Gordon form factors, its two-kink and one-breather channels providing a lower bound on the universal amplitude. The Baxter--Johnson--Krinsky--McCoy solution supplies the kink mass for different couplings. Infinite-system density-matrix renormalization group simulations built on these masses reproduce the master formula.

Spin-charge separation in the triangular-lattice Hofstadter-Hubbard model

Recent experiments in moir\'e materials have enabled the realization of a variety of exotic quantum phases. In this context, the Hofstadter-Hubbard model has been proposed as a possible setting for hosting chiral spin liquid. Concurrently, significant progress has been recently made in the computational methods for two-dimensional many-body fermion systems, which makes numerically studying this challenging model a real possibility in genuine 2D geometry. Motivated by these advances, we investigate the putative chiral spin liquid phase in the triangular-lattice Hofstadter-Hubbard model using variational Monte Carlo with neural quantum states (NQS) and projected entangled pair states (PEPS). We observe spin-charge separation directly in real space through numerical spin-pumping simulation and real-time spin and charge motion. In addition, in the context of anyonic superconductivity conjectured in this model, we find a positive two-electron binding energy on small systems, but it decreases below our numerical resolution as the system size increases. Our work demonstrates NQS and PEPS as powerful tools, capable of cross-checking each other, for diagnosing topological order and fractionalized excitations in strongly correlated electronic systems.
