We study the entanglement in a chain of harmonic oscillators driven out of equilibrium by preparing the two sides of the system at different temperatures, and subsequently joining them together. The steady state is constructed explicitly and the logarithmic negativity is calculated between two adjacent segments of the chain. We find that, for low temperatures, the steady-state entanglement is a sum of contributions pertaining to left-and right-moving excitations emitted from the two reservoirs. In turn, the steady-state entanglement is a simple average of the Gibbs-state values and thus its scaling can be obtained from conformal field theory. A similar averaging behaviour is observed during the entire time evolution. As a particular case, we also discuss a local quench where both sides of the chain are initialized in their respective ground states.

Concept of Orbital Entanglement and Correlation in Quantum Chemistry

Lexin Ding, Sam Mardazad, Sreetama Das, Szilard Szalay, Ulrich Schollwoeck, Zoltan Zimboras, Christian Schilling

Summary: The recent development in quantum chemistry highlights the quantum mutual information between orbitals as a major descriptor of electronic structure, leading to significant improvements in numerical methods. By introducing physical correlation and separating it into classical and quantum parts, our work quantifies entanglement and raises questions about its general significance in chemical bonding. The implementation of the fundamental particle number superselection rule removes a major part of correlation and entanglement, suggesting that quantum information processing tasks with molecular systems may be more challenging than expected.

Entanglement spreading after local fermionic excitations in the XXZ chain

Matthias Gruber, Viktor Eisler

Summary: In this study, we investigate the spreading of entanglement produced by the time evolution of a local fermionic excitation above the ground state of the XXZ chain. The resulting entropy profiles are analyzed through density-matrix renormalization group calculations and compared to a quasiparticle ansatz. The dominant carriers of entanglement are assumed to be spinon excitations traveling at different velocities, with the entropy profile being reproduced by a probabilistic expression involving the density fraction of these spinons reaching the subsystem.

Entanglement spreading after local and extended excitations in a free-fermion chain

Viktor Eisler

Summary: This study examines the time evolution of entanglement created by local or extended excitations on the ground state of a free-fermion chain. A single particle or hole excitation leads to excess entropy increasing linearly with time and subsystem lengths. In the case of double hole excitations, some coherence is preserved between the excitations only for large separations, while coherence is lost for particle-hole excitations. Multiple hole excitations on a completely filled chain show that excess entropy scales logarithmically for an extended contiguous hole and linearly for finite separations between the holes.

Fermionic systems for quantum information people

Szilard Szalay, Zoltan Zimboras, Mihaly Mate, Gergely Barcza, Christian Schilling, Ors Legeza

Summary: The operator algebra of fermionic modes is isomorphic to that of qubits, with fundamental differences in the embedding of subalgebras and the parity superselection. New tools for fermionic systems, such as the fermionic tensor product and fermionic canonical embedding, are developed from a quantum information theory perspective. Additionally, variants of fermionic mode correlation and entanglement are considered, along with the inevitability of parity superselection in describing fermionic systems.

Modeling and mitigation of cross-talk effects in readout noise with applications to the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm

Filip B. Maciejewski, Flavio Baccari, Zoltan Zimboras, Michal Oszmaniec

Summary: Measurement noise in quantum devices based on superconducting qubits is a significant source of errors, and the complexity of its characterization and mitigation can be challenging. The introduction of a correlated measurement noise model in this work allows for efficient noise-mitigation at the marginal probability distribution level. Experimental results on IBM and Rigetti devices demonstrate a significant reduction in errors with this noise-mitigation scheme. Additionally, the study shows that correlations in measurement noise do not necessarily match the physical layout of the device, and noise-mitigation can improve the performance of the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA).

A Cost-Efficient Approach towards Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulations on Quantum Devices

Szabolcs Joczik, Zoltan Zimboras, Tamas Majoros, Attila Kiss

Summary: Numerical simulations are widely used in various industries, including product development. The finite element method is one of the most commonly used numerical methods for solving differential equations that describe the physics behind the simulations. However, there are still challenges in numerically simulating complex real-life processes. This paper proposes a cost-efficient method for applying quantum algorithms in finite element analysis, which addresses the limitations and cost efficiency of available quantum hardware.

Local and non-local properties of the entanglement Hamiltonian for two disjoint intervals

Viktor Eisler, Erik Tonni, Ingo Peschel

Summary: This paper investigates the ground state of free-fermion chains and the entanglement Hamiltonian for a subsystem consisting of two separated intervals. In this case, there is a peculiar long-range hopping between the intervals in addition to the well-known short-range hopping. The authors show how to obtain continuum expressions from lattice results for general filling and arbitrary intervals. They also discuss the closely related case of a single interval located at a certain distance from the end of a semi-infinite chain and the continuum limit for this problem. Finally, they demonstrate the existence of a commuting operator in the continuum for the double interval, which can be used to find the eigenstates.

Entanglement Hamiltonians: From Field Theory to Lattice Models and Experiments

Marcello Dalmonte, Viktor Eisler, Marco Falconi, Benoit Vermersch

Summary: This review summarizes the results about entanglement (or modular) Hamiltonians of quantum many-body systems in field theory and statistical mechanics models, and recent applications in the context of quantum information and quantum simulation. The first part of the review discusses the known results about entanglement Hamiltonians of ground states in quantum field theory, based on the Bisognano-Wichmann theorem and its extension to conformal field theory. The second part focuses on lattice models, considering both soluble and non-integrable cases. The review also covers recently developed applications in quantum information processing that rely on the specific properties of entanglement Hamiltonians.

Summary: In recent years, noisy intermediate scale quantum (NISQ) computing devices have become available, with quantum machine learning emerging as a promising application area. This study utilizes continuous-variable quantum machine learning to solve classical continuous control problems, presenting performance assessment using proximal policy optimization for photonic variational quantum agents and data re-uploading. The results show that the photonic policy learning achieves comparable performance levels and faster convergence than classical neural networks for the restricted CartPole problem.

Quantum phases of collective SU(3) spin systems with bipartite symmetry

David Jakab, Zoltan Zimboras

Summary: We study a bipartite collective spin-1 model with exchange interaction, where spins are divided into two equal-sized subsystems with equal interactions within and across each subsystem but different coupling values. Using symmetry and representation theoretic methods, the Hamiltonian of the system is diagonalized and the ground-state phase diagram is explored, revealing both gapped and gapless phases. Interestingly, one phase shows strong bipartite symmetry breaking with the two subsystems in different SU(3) representations.
