Quantum phase transitions in a generalized compass chain with three-site interactions

Abstract: We consider a class of one-dimensional compass models with XYZ−YZX-type of three-site exchange interaction in an external magnetic field. We present the exact solution derived by means of Jordan-Wigner transformation, and study the excitation gap, spin correlations, and establish the phase diagram. Besides the canted antiferromagnetic and polarized phases, the three-site interactions induce two distinct chiral phases, corresponding to gapless spinless-fermion systems having two or four Fermi points. We find th… Show more

“…Note that τ k is always positive for any momentum k. We remark that the energy spectrum ε k,j (j = 1, 2) is thus always positive which is different from the compass spin chain with the (XZY−YZX)-type of three-site interaction [37]. The form of F k (15) leads to a crossing of excitations at k = ±π/2 for diverse values of K, see Fig.…”

“…As the core of quantum physics and quantum information, there are many important applications in various quantum tasks, such as quantum computation and quantum communication. There are many related studies [18,28,64,67,68]. A well-defined and frequently used coherence measure is Wigner-Yanase skew information (WYSI), which has some clear physical meanings, such as it is equal to the optimal distillation rate for standard coherence distillation, and can also be interpreted as the minimal amount of noise required to achieve full decoherence of the state under discussion.…”

“…This entanglement is the quantum resource, which is used in quantum computations and simulations [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]22]. Some exotic quantum simulations demand to simultaneously control the interactions of three atoms [22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. This demands a three-body quantum operator that changes the states of the three qubits simultaneously and makes them all entangled.…”
