“…Recently, we have used the TRG method to study the O(2) model with a chemical potential in one space and one Euclidean time direction [10]. Our motivation was to suggest a testable way to do quantum simulations for this classical model using a many-body system that could be experimentally realized on an optical lattice.…”

The idea of blocking in configuration space has played an important role in the development of the RG ideas. However, despite being half a century old and having had a huge intellectual impact, generic numerical methods to perform blocking for lattice models have progressed more slowly than sampling methods. Blocking may be essential to deal with near conformal situations. Typically, blocking methods have smaller statistical errors but larger systematic errors than sampling methods. This situation is evolving with recent developments based on the Tensor RG (TRG) method. We report recent results for spin and gauge lattice models obtained with this new method regarding searches for fixed points, calculations of critical exponents and resolutions of sign problems. An interesting model for comparison is the 2-dimensional O(2) model with a chemical potential which has a sign problem with conventional Monte Carlo but allows sampling with the worm algorithm and blocking with various TRG formulations. We compare the efficiency and accuracy of these two methods.

Probing the conformal Calabrese-Cardy scaling with cold atoms

We demonstrate that current experiments using cold bosonic atoms trapped in one-dimensional optical lattices and designed to measure the second-order Rényi entanglement entropy S2, can be used to verify detailed predictions of conformal field theory (CFT) and estimate the central charge c. We discuss the adiabatic preparation of the ground state at half-filling where we expect a CFT with c = 1. This can be accomplished with a very small hopping parameter J, in contrast to existing studies with density one where a much larger J is needed. We provide two complementary methods to estimate and subtract the classical entropy generated by the experimental preparation and imaging processes. We compare numerical calculations for the classical O(2) model with a chemical potential on a 1+1 dimensional lattice, and the quantum Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian implemented in the experiments. S2 is very similar for the two models and follows closely the Calabrese-Cardy scaling, (c/8) ln(Ns), for Ns sites with open boundary conditions, provided that the large subleading corrections are taken into account.PACS numbers: 05.10. Cc, 11.15.Ha, 11.25.Hf, 37.10.Jk, 67.85.Hj, 75.10.Hk The concept of universality provides a unified approach to the critical behavior of lattice models studied in condensed matter, lattice gauge theory (LGT) and experimentally accessible systems of cold atoms trapped in optical lattices. Conformal field theory (CFT) [1, 2] offers many interesting examples of universal behavior that can be observed for lattice models in two [3][4][5], three [6], and four [7,8] dimensions. Practical simulations for these models unavoidably involve a finite volume that breaks explicitly the conformal invariance. However, this symmetry breaking follows definite patterns dictated by the restoration of the symmetry at infinite volume and allows us to identify the universality class. In view of the rich collection of interesting CFTs, it would be highly desirable to study their universality classes using quantum simulations. In order to start this ambitious program, one needs a simple concrete example to demonstrate the feasibility of the idea.In this Letter, we propose to use the setup of ongoing cold atom experiments to quantum simulate the O(2) model with a chemical potential and check the predictions of CFT for the growth of the entanglement entropy with the size of the system corresponding to the universality class of the superfluid (SF) phase. The O(2) model is an extension of the Ising model where the spin is allowed to move on a circle, making an angle θ with respect to a direction of reference. This model can be used to describe easy plane ferromagnetism and the compactness of θ leads to topological configurations called vortices. Their unbinding provides a prime example of a Berezinski-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition [9,10] in a way that has also been advocated to apply for gauge theories near the boundary of the conformal window [11]. When space and Euclidean time are treated isotropically, this model has important common ...

Gross–Neveu–Wilson model and correlated symmetry-protected topological phases

et al. 2018

We show that a Wilson-type discretization of the Gross-Neveu model, a fermionic N-flavor quantum field theory displaying asymptotic freedom and chiral symmetry breaking, can serve as a playground to explore correlated symmetry-protected phases of matter using techniques borrowed from high-energy physics. A large-N study, both in the Hamiltonian and Euclidean formalisms, yields a phase diagram with trivial, topological, and symmetry-broken phases separated by critical lines that meet at a tri-critical point. We benchmark these predictions using tools from condensed matter and quantum information science, which show that the large-N method captures the essence of the phase diagram even at N = 1. Moreover, we describe a cold-atom scheme for the quantum simulation of this lattice model, which would allow to explore the single-flavor phase diagram.
