Dynamical Correlations after a Quantum Quench
In many integrable models static (equal time) correlation functions of local
observables after a quantum quench relax to stationary values, which are
described by a generalized Gibbs ensemble (GGE). Here we establish that the
same holds true for dynamic (non equal time) correlation functions. More
generally we show that in the absence of long-range interactions in the final
Hamiltonian, the dynamics is determined by the same ensemble that describes
static correlations. When the latter is a GGE the basic form of the fluctuation
dissipation theorem holds, although the absorption and emission spectra are not
simply related as in the thermal case. For quenches in the transverse field
Ising chain (TFIC) we derive explicit expressions for the time evolution of
dynamic order parameter correlators after a quench.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figure
Modular invariance in the gapped XYZ spin 1/2 chain
We show that the elliptic parametrization of the coupling constants of the
quantum XYZ spin chain can be analytically extended outside of their natural
domain, to cover the whole phase diagram of the model, which is composed of 12
adjacent regions, related to one another by a spin rotation. This extension is
based on the modular properties of the elliptic functions and we show how
rotations in parameter space correspond to the double covering PGL(2,Z)of the
modular group, implying that the partition function of the XYZ chain is
invariant under this group in parameter space, in the same way as a Conformal
Field Theory partition function is invariant under the modular group acting in
real space. The encoding of the symmetries of the model into the modular
properties of the partition function could shed light on the general structure
of integrable models.Comment: 17 pages, 4 figures, 1 table. Accepted published versio
A Novel Intermolecular Potential to Describe the Interaction Between the Azide Anion and Carbon Nanotubes
47 P.International audienceIn this contribution we propose a novel and accurate intermolecular potential that can be used for the simulation of the azide anion confined inside carbon nanotubes of arbitrary size. The peculiarity of our approach is to include an explicit term, modeling the induction attractive contributions from the negatively charged azide ion, that can be generalized to other ions confined in carbon nanotubes of different size and length. Through a series of accurate DLPNO-CCSD(T) calculations, we show that this potential reproduces the ab initio interaction energy to within a few kcal/mol. The potential is implemented in a molecular dynamics program, with which we carried out illustrative simulations to demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach. At last, the guidelines provided by this investigation can be applied to build up force fields for many neutral/ionic molecular species confined within carbon nanotubes; a crucial requirement to carry out molecular dynamics simulations under a variety of conditions
Full configuration interaction calculation of singlet excited states of Be3
The full configuration interaction (FCI) study of the singlets vertical spectrum of the neutral beryllium trimer has been performed using atomic natural orbitals [3s2p1d] basis set. The FCI triangular equilibrium structure of the ground state has been used to calculate the FCI vertical excitation energies up to 4.8 eV. The FCI vertical ionization potential for the same geometry and basis set amounts to 7.6292 eV. The FCI dipole and quadrupole transition moments from the ground state are reported as well. The FCI electric quadrupole moment of the Xâ3A1âČ ground state has been also calculated with the same basis set (Îzz = â2.6461âa.u., Îxx = Îyy = â1/2Îzz). Twelve of the 19 calculated excited singlets are doubly excited states. Most of the states have large multiconfigurational character. These results provide benchmark values for electronic correlation multireference methods. (4eĂ6MO)CAS-SDCI values for the same energies and properties are also [email protected]
Essential singularity in the Renyi entanglement entropy of the one-dimensional XYZ spin-1/2 chain
We study the Renyi entropy of the one-dimensional XYZ spin-1/2 chain in the
entirety of its phase diagram. The model has several quantum critical lines
corresponding to rotated XXZ chains in their paramagnetic phase, and four
tri-critical points where these phases join. Two of these points are described
by a conformal field theory and close to them the entropy scales as the
logarithm of its mass gap. The other two points are not conformal and the
entropy has a peculiar singular behavior in their neighbors, characteristic of
an essential singularity. At these non-conformal points the model undergoes a
discontinuous transition, with a level crossing in the ground state and a
quadratic excitation spectrum. We propose the entropy as an efficient tool to
determine the discontinuous or continuous nature of a phase transition also in
more complicated models.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figure
