We elaborate on the principle that for gapped quantum spin systems with local interaction "local perturbations [in the Hamiltonian] perturb locally [the ground state]". This principle was established in [Bachmann et al. 2012], relying on…
Geometric frustration, arising from competing interactions that prevent simultaneous energy minimization, presents a fundamental challenge for variational quantum algorithms applied to quantum many-body systems. We investigate the…
We examine correlation functions in the presence of competing long and short ranged interactions to find multiple correlation and modulation lengths. We calculate the ground state stripe width of an Ising ferromagnet, frustrated by an…
We consider the entanglement Hamiltonian for an interval in a chain of free fermions in its ground state and show that the lattice expression goes over into the conformal one if one includes the hopping to distant neighbours in the…
We consider a variety of lattice spin systems (including Ising, Potts and XY models) on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with long-range interactions of the form $J_x = \psi(x) e^{-|x|}$, where $\psi(x) = e^{\mathsf{o}(|x|)}$ and $|\cdot|$ is an arbitrary…
We study the rate of decay of correlations for equilibrium states associated to a robust class of non-uniformly expanding maps where no Markov assumption is required. We show that the Ruelle-Perron-Frobenius operator acting on the space of…
We prove that the critical finite-size gap scaling for frustration-free Hamiltonians is of inverse-square type. The result covers general graphs embedded in $\mathbb R^D$ and general finite-range interactions without requiring assumptions…
We study the evolution of a system of two qubits, each of which interacts locally with a spin chain with nontrivial internal Hamiltonian. We present an exact solution to this problem and analyze the dependence of decoherence on the distance…
We clarify an instability of the ground state of the $\Delta$ chain against the lattice distortion that increases a strength $(\lambda)$ of a bond in each triangle. It relaxes the frustration and causes a remarkable gap enhancement; only a…
A frustration-free local Hamiltonian has the property that its ground state minimises the energy of all local terms simultaneously. In general, even deciding whether a Hamiltonian is frustration-free is a hard task, as it is closely related…
We discuss the entanglement spectrum of the ground state of a gapped (1+1)-dimensional system in a phase near a quantum phase transition. In particular, in proximity to a quantum phase transition described by a conformal field theory (CFT),…
The ground state entanglement of the system, both in discrete-time and continuous-time cases, is quantified through the linear entropy. The result shows that the entanglement increases as the interaction between the particles increases in…
We study out-of-time order correlators (OTOCs) of the form $\langle\hat A(t)\hat B(0)\hat C(t)\hat D(0)\rangle$ for a quantum system weakly coupled to a dissipative environment. Such an open system may serve as a model of, e.g., a small…
We extend random matrix theory to consider randomly interacting spin systems with spatial locality. We develop several methods by which arbitrary correlators may be systematically evaluated in a limit where the local Hilbert space dimension…
The phase space for Hamiltonians of two degrees of freedom is usually divided into stochastic and integrable components. Even when well into the stochastic regime, integrable orbits may surround small stable regions or islands. The effect…
We study the pairwise entanglement close to separable ground states of a class of one dimensional quantum spin models. At T=0 we find that such ground states separate regions, in the space of the Hamiltonian parameters, which are…

We introduce a family of Hamiltonian systems for measurement-based quantum computation with continuous variables. The Hamiltonians (i) are quadratic, and therefore two body, (ii) are of short range, (iii) are frustration-free, and (iv)…
A variant of coupled-cluster theory is described here, wherein the degrees of freedom are fluctuations of fragments between internally correlated states. The effects of intra-fragment correlation on the inter-fragment interaction are…
