We study classical lattice simulations of theories of electrodynamics coupled to charged matter at finite temperature, interpreting them using the higher-form symmetry formulation of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). We compute transport coefficients using classical Kubo formulas on the lattice and show that the properties of the simulated plasma are in complete agreement with the predictions from effective field theories. In particular, the higher-form formulation allows us to understand from hydrodynamic considerations the relaxation rate of axial charge in the chiral plasma observed in previous simulations. A key point is that the resistivity of the plasma – defined in terms of Kubo formulas for the electric field in the 1-form formulation of MHD – remains a well-defined and predictive quantity at strong electromagnetic coupling. However, the Kubo formulas used to define the conventional conductivity vanish at low frequencies due to electrodynamic fluctuations, and thus the concept of the conductivity of a gauged electric current must be interpreted with care.
我们研究了在有限温度下与带电物质耦合的电动力学理论的经典晶格模拟,并使用磁流体力学(MHD)的高形式对称公式对其进行了解释。我们使用经典的 Kubo 公式计算晶格上的传输系数,结果表明模拟等离子体的特性与有效场理论的预测完全一致。特别是,高阶形式公式使我们能够从流体力学的角度理解之前模拟中观察到的手性等离子体中轴向电荷的弛豫率。关键的一点是,等离子体的电阻率--在 MHD 的 1-form 公式中根据电场的 Kubo 公式定义--在强电磁耦合下仍然是一个定义明确的预测量。然而,用于定义传统电导率的 Kubo 公式在低频时会因电动力学波动而消失,因此必须谨慎解释测量电流电导率的概念。

We verify that the recently proven infinite families of holographic entropy inequalities are maximally tight, i.e. they are facets of the holographic entropy cone. The proof is technical but it offers some heuristic insight. On star graphs, both families of inequalities quantify how concentrated/spread information is with respect to a dihedral symmetry acting on subsystems. In addition, toric inequalities viewed in the K-basis show an interesting interplay between four-party and six-party perfect tensors.
我们验证了最近证明的全息熵不等式无穷族是最大紧密的,即它们是全息熵锥的面。这个证明是技术性的,但它提供了一些启发式的见解。在星形图上,这两组不等式都量化了作用于子系统的二面对称信息的集中/扩散程度。此外,以 K 为基础的环不等式显示了四方和六方完美张量之间有趣的相互作用。

We propose a framework to design and optimize generic photonic quantum circuits composed of Gaussian objects (pure and mixed Gaussian states, Gaussian unitaries, Gaussian channels, Gaussian measurements) as well as non-Gaussian effects such as photon-number-resolving measurements. In this framework, we parametrize a phase space representation of Gaussian objects using elements of the symplectic group (or the unitary or orthogonal group in special cases), and then we transform it into the Fock representation using a single linear recurrence relation that computes the Fock amplitudes of any Gaussian object recursively. We also compute the gradient of the Fock amplitudes with respect to phase space parameters by differentiating through the recurrence relation. We can then use Riemannian optimization on the symplectic group to optimize $M$-mode Gaussian objects, avoiding the need to commit to particular realizations in terms of fundamental gates. This allows us to "mod out" all the different gate-level implementations of the same circuit, which now can be chosen after the optimization has completed. This can be especially useful when looking to answer general questions, such as bounding the value of a property over a class of states or transformations, or when one would like to worry about hardware constraints separately from the circuit optimization step. Finally, we make our framework extendable to non-Gaussian objects that can be written as linear combinations of Gaussian ones, by explicitly computing the change in global phase when states undergo Gaussian transformations. We implemented all of these methods in the freely available open-source library MrMustard, which we use in three examples to optimize the 216-mode interferometer in Borealis, and 2- and 3-modes circuits (with Fock measurements) to produce cat states and cubic phase states.
我们提出了一个框架,用于设计和优化由高斯对象(纯高斯和混合高斯状态、高斯单元、高斯通道、高斯测量)以及非高斯效应(如光子数分辨测量)组成的通用光子量子电路。在这一框架中,我们利用交映组(或特殊情况下的单元组或正交组)的元素对高斯对象的相空间表示进行参数化,然后利用单一线性递推关系将其转换为福克表示,该关系可递推计算任何高斯对象的福克振幅。通过递推关系的微分,我们还能计算福克振幅相对于相空间参数的梯度。然后,我们就可以在交点群上使用黎曼优化来优化 $M$ 模式高斯对象,从而避免了对基本门的特定实现方式的依赖。这样,我们就能 "调出 "同一电路的所有不同门级实现,现在可以在优化完成后再进行选择。这在回答一般问题时特别有用,比如在一类状态或变换中限定一个属性的值,或者在电路优化步骤之外单独考虑硬件约束时。最后,我们通过明确计算状态发生高斯变换时全局相位的变化,使我们的框架可以扩展到可以写成高斯对象线性组合的非高斯对象。我们在免费开源库 MrMustard 中实现了所有这些方法,并在三个示例中使用它来优化 Borealis 中的 216 模干涉仪,以及 2 模和 3 模电路(使用 Fock 测量),以产生猫态和立方相态。

This note derives the stochastic differential equations and partial differential equation of general hybrid quantum--classical dynamics from the theory of continuous measurement and general (non-Markovian) feedback. The advantage of this approach is an explicit parameterization, without additional positivity constraints. The construction also neatly separates the different effects: how the quantum influences the classical and how the classical influences the quantum. This modular presentation gives a better intuition of what to expect from hybrid dynamics, especially when used to construct possibly fundamental theories.
本论文从连续测量和一般(非马尔可夫)反馈理论推导出一般量子-经典混合动力学的随机微分方程和偏微分方程。这种方法的优势在于参数化明确,无需额外的正向约束。这种结构还巧妙地分离了不同的效应:量子如何影响经典,经典如何影响量子。这种模块化的表述方式让我们对混合动力学有了更好的直观认识,尤其是在用来构建可能的基本理论时。

Flux-tunable Kitaev chain in a quantum dot array 量子点阵列中的通量可调基塔耶夫链

Connecting quantum dots through Andreev bound states in a semiconductor-superconductor hybrid provides a platform to create a Kitaev chain. Interestingly, in a double quantum dot, a pair of poor man's Majorana zero modes can emerge when the system is fine-tuned to a sweet spot, where superconducting and normal couplings are equal in magnitude. Control of the Andreev bound states is crucial for achieving this, usually implemented by varying its chemical potential. In this work, we propose using Andreev bound states in a short Josephson junction to mediate both types of couplings, with the ratio tunable by the phase difference across the junction. Now a minimal Kitaev chain can be easily tuned into the strong coupling regime by varying the phase and junction asymmetry, even without changing the dot-hybrid coupling strength. Furthermore, we identify an optimal sweet spot at $pi$ phase, enhancing the excitation gap and robustness against phase fluctuations. Our proposal introduces a new device platform and a new tuning method for realizing quantum-dot-based Kitaev chains.
通过半导体-超导体混合体中的安德烈耶夫束缚态连接量子点,为创建基塔耶夫链提供了一个平台。有趣的是,在双量子点中,当系统微调到一个甜蜜点,即超导耦合和正常耦合的量级相等时,一对穷人的马约拉纳零模就会出现。对安德烈耶夫束缚态的控制是实现这一目标的关键,通常通过改变其化学势来实现。在这项工作中,我们提议利用短约瑟夫森结中的安德烈耶夫束缚态来调解这两种耦合,其比例可通过跨结的相位差来调整。现在,即使不改变点杂化耦合强度,通过改变相位和结的不对称性,也能轻松地将最小基塔耶夫链调整到强耦合状态。此外,我们还确定了$pi$相位的最佳甜点,从而提高了激发间隙和对相位波动的稳健性。我们的建议为实现基于量子点的基塔耶夫链引入了一种新的器件平台和新的调谐方法。

Off-shell effects in large LHC backgrounds are crucial for precision predictions and, at the same time, challenging to simulate. We present a novel method to transform high-dimensional distributions based on a diffusion neural network and use it to generate a process with off-shell kinematics from the much simpler on-shell one. Applied to a toy example of top pair production at LO we show how our method generates off-shell configurations fast and precisely, while reproducing even challenging on-shell features.

The rapid deployment of computing hardware different from the traditional CPU+RAM model in data centers around the world mandates a change in the design of event generators for the Large Hadron Collider, in order to provide economically and ecologically sustainable simulations for the high-luminosity era of the LHC. Parton-level event generation is one of the most computationally demanding parts of the simulation and is therefore a prime target for improvements. We present a production-ready leading-order parton-level event generation framework capable of utilizing most modern hardware and discuss its performance in the standard candle processes of vector boson and top-quark pair production with up to five additional jets.

Emergent generalized symmetries in ordered phases and applications to quantum disordering 有序相中的新兴广义对称性及其在量子无序化中的应用

We explore the rich landscape of higher-form and non-invertible symmetries that emerge at low energies in generic ordered phases. Using that their charge is carried by homotopy defects (i.e., domain walls, vortices, hedgehogs, etc.), in the absence of domain walls we find that their symmetry defects in $D$-dimensional spacetime are described by $(D-1)$-representations of a $(D-1)$-group that depends only on the spontaneous symmetry-breaking (SSB) pattern of the ordered phase. These emergent symmetries are not spontaneously broken in the ordered phase. We show that spontaneously breaking them induces a phase transition into a nontrivial disordered phase that can have symmetry-enriched (non-)Abelian topological orders, photons, and even more emergent symmetries. This SSB transition is between two distinct SSB phases--an ordinary and a generalized one--making it a possible generalized deconfined quantum critical point. We also investigate the 't Hooft anomalies of these emergent symmetries and conjecture that there is always a mixed anomaly between them and the microscopic symmetry spontaneously broken in the ordered phase. One way this anomaly can manifest is through the fractionalization of the microscopic symmetry's quantum numbers. Our results demonstrate that even the most exotic generalized symmetries emerge in ordinary phases and provide a valuable framework for characterizing them and their transitions.
我们探索了一般有序相在低能时出现的丰富的高形式和非可逆对称性。由于它们的电荷由同调缺陷(即畴壁、涡旋、刺猬等)携带,在没有畴壁的情况下,我们发现它们在 $D$ 维时空中的对称性缺陷是由 $(D-1)$ 组的 $(D-1)$ 代表描述的,而这个 $(D-1)$ 组只取决于有序相的自发对称性破缺(SSB)模式。这些新兴对称性在有序相中不会自发被打破。我们的研究表明,自发打破这些对称性会诱发相变,进入一个非无序相,该无序相可能具有对称性丰富的(非)阿贝尔拓扑秩序、光子,甚至更多的新兴对称性。这种 SSB 过渡介于两个不同的 SSB 相之间--一个是普通相,另一个是广义相--这使它成为一个可能的广义非封闭量子临界点。我们还研究了这些新兴对称性的't Hooft 异常,并猜想它们与有序阶段自发破坏的微观对称性之间总是存在混合异常。这种反常现象的一种表现形式是微观对称性量子数的分数化。我们的研究结果表明,即使是最奇特的广义对称也会在普通相中出现,并为描述它们及其转变提供了一个宝贵的框架。

Efficient construction of the Feynman-Vernon influence functional as matrix product states 以矩阵乘积状态高效构建费曼-弗农影响函数

The time-evolving matrix product operator (TEMPO) method has become a very competitive numerical method for studying the real-time dynamics of quantum impurity problems. For small impurities, the most challenging calculation in TEMPO is to construct the matrix product state representation of the Feynman-Vernon influence functional. In this work we propose an efficient method for this task, which exploits the time-translationally invariant property of the influence functional. The required number of matrix product state multiplication in our method is almost independent of the total evolution time, as compared to the method originally used in TEMPO which requires a linearly scaling number of multiplications. The accuracy and efficiency of this method are demonstrated for the Toulouse model and the single impurity Anderson model.
时间演化矩阵积算子(TEMPO)方法已成为研究量子杂质问题实时动态的一种极具竞争力的数值方法。对于小杂质,TEMPO 最具挑战性的计算是构建费曼-弗农影响函数的矩阵积状态表示。在这项工作中,我们提出了利用影响函数的时变不变特性来完成这项任务的高效方法。在我们的方法中,所需的矩阵乘积状态乘法次数几乎与总演化时间无关,而 TEMPO 最初使用的方法则需要按线性比例增加乘法次数。图卢兹模型和单杂质安德森模型证明了这种方法的准确性和高效性。

For small impurities, the most challenging calculation in TEMPO is to construct the matrix product state representation of the Feynman-Vernon influence functional. In this work we propose an efficient method for this task, which exploits the time-translationally invariant property of the influence functional. The required number of matrix product state multiplication in our method is almost independent of the total evolution time, as compared to the method originally used in TEMPO which requires a linearly scaling number of multiplications. The accuracy and efficiency of this method are demonstrated for the Toulouse model and the single impurity Anderson model.","PeriodicalId":21682,"journal":{"name":"SciPost Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142187375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The recently proposed exact quantum solution for two $delta$-function-interacting particles with a mass-ratio $3!:!1$ in a hard-wall box [Y. Liu, F. Qi, Y. Zhang and S. Chen, iScience 22, 181 (2019)] violates the conventional necessary condition for a Bethe Ansatz integrability, the condition being that the system must be reducible to a superposition of semi-transparent mirrors that is invariant under all the reflections it generates. In this article, we found a way to relax this condition: some of the semi-transparent mirrors of a known self-invariant mirror superposition can be replaced by the perfectly reflecting ones, thus breaking the self-invariance. The proposed name for the method is asymmetric Bethe Ansatz (asymmetric BA). As a worked example, we study in detail the bound states of the nominally non-integrable system comprised of a bosonic dimer in a $delta$-well. Finally, we show that the exact solution of the Liu-Qi-Zhang-Chen problem is a particular instance of the the asymmetric BA.
最近提出的关于硬壁盒中两个质量比为3!:!1$的$delta$函数相互作用粒子的精确量子解[Y. Liu, F. Qi, Y. Zhang and S. Chen, iScience 22, 181 (2019)]违反了贝特安萨兹可积分性的传统必要条件,该条件是系统必须可还原为半透明镜子的叠加,并且在其产生的所有反射下都是不变的。在这篇文章中,我们找到了放宽这一条件的方法:已知自不变镜像叠加中的一些半透明镜像可以被完全反射的镜像取代,从而打破自不变性。这种方法被命名为非对称贝特安萨特兹(asymmetric Bethe Ansatz)。作为一个工作实例,我们详细研究了由$delta$阱中的玻色二聚体组成的名义上不可整的系统的束缚态。最后,我们证明了刘-齐-张-陈问题的精确解是非对称 BA 的一个特殊实例。
