We consider a continuous dynamical system $f:X\rightarrow X$ on a compact metric space $X$ equipped with an $m$-dimensional continuous potential $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7}=(\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}_{1},\ldots ,\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}_{m}):X\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{m}$. We study the set of ground states $GS(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC})$ of the potential $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}\cdot \unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7}$ as a function of the direction vector $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}\in S^{m-1}$. We show that the structure of the ground state sets is naturally related to the geometry of the generalized rotation set of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7}$. In particular, for each $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}$ the set of rotation vectors of $GS(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC})$ forms a non-empty, compact and connected subset of a face $F_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7})$ of the rotation set associated with $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}$. Moreover, every ground state maximizes entropy among all invariant measures with rotation vectors in $F_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7})$. We further establish the occurrence of several quite unexpected phenomena. Namely, we construct for any $m\in \mathbb{N}$ examples with an exposed boundary point (that is, $F_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7})$ being a singleton) without a unique ground state. Further, we establish the possibility of a line segment face $F_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7})$ with a unique but non-ergodic ground state. Finally, we establish the possibility that the set of rotation vectors of $GS(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC})$ is a non-trivial line segment.

Given a continuous dynamical system [Formula: see text] on a compact metric space [Formula: see text] and a continuous potential [Formula: see text], the generalized rotation set is the subset of [Formula: see text] consisting of all integrals of [Formula: see text] with respect to all invariant probability measures. The localized entropy at a point in the rotation set is defined as the supremum of the measure-theoretic entropies over all invariant measures whose integrals produce that point. In this paper, we provide an introduction to the theory of rotation sets and localized entropies. Moreover, we consider a shift map and construct a Lipschitz continuous potential, for which we are able to explicitly compute the geometric shape of the rotation set and its boundary measures. We show that at a particular exposed point on the boundary there are exactly two ergodic localized measures of maximal entropy.

Let$f:X\rightarrow X$be a continuous dynamical system on a compact metric space$X$and let$\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7}:X\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{m}$be an$m$-dimensional continuous potential. The (generalized) rotation set$\text{Rot}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7})$is defined as the set of all$\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}$-integrals of$\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7}$, where$\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}$runs over all invariant probability measures. Analogous to the classical topological entropy, one can associate the localized entropy$\unicode[STIX]{x210B}(w)$to each$w\in \text{Rot}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7})$. In this paper, we study the computability of rotation sets and localized entropy functions by deriving conditions that imply their computability. Then we apply our results to study the case where$f$is a subshift of finite type. We prove that$\text{Rot}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7})$is computable and that$\unicode[STIX]{x210B}(w)$is computable in the interior of the rotation set. Finally, we construct an explicit example that shows that, in general,$\unicode[STIX]{x210B}$is not continuous on the boundary of the rotation set when considered as a function of$\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7}$and$w$. In particular,$\unicode[STIX]{x210B}$is, in general, not computable at the boundary of$\text{Rot}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7})$.

Abstract In this work, we study a generalization of the coupled Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model with U(1) charge conservations. The model contains two copies of the complex SYK model at different chemical potentials, coupled by a direct hopping term. In the zero-temperature and small coupling limit with small averaged chemical potential, the ground state is an eternal wormhole connecting two sides, with a specific charge Q = 0, which is equivalent to a thermofield double state. We derive the conformal Green’s functions and determine corresponding IR parameters. At higher chemical potential, the system transit into the black hole phase. We further derive the Schwarzian effective action and study its quench dynamics. Finally, we compare numerical results with the analytical predictions.

We consider backreacted [Formula: see text] coupled with [Formula: see text] massive flavors introduced by D7 branes. The backreacted geometry is in the Veneziano limit with fixed [Formula: see text]. By dividing one of the directions into a line segment with length l, we get two subspaces. Then we calculate the entanglement entropy between them. With the method of [I. R. Klebanov, D. Kutasov and A. Murugan, Nucl. Phys. B 796, 274 (2008)], we are able to find the cut-off independent part of the entanglement entropy and finally find that this geometry shows no confinement/deconfinement phase transition at zero temperature from the holographic entanglement entropy point of view similar to the case in pure [Formula: see text].

Quantized Radiation Field

One electron system minimally coupled to a quantized radiation field is considered. It is assumed that the quantized radiation field is massless, and no infrared cutoff is imposed. The Hamiltonian, H, of this system is defined as a self-adjoint operator acting on L2 (ℝ3) ⊗ ℱ ≅ L2 (ℝ3; ℱ), where ℱ is the Boson Fock space over L2 (ℝ3 × {1, 2}). It is shown that the ground state, ψg, of H belongs to [Formula: see text], where N denotes the number operator of ℱ. Moreover, it is shown that for almost every electron position variable x ∈ ℝ3 and for arbitrary k ≥ 0, ‖(1 ⊗ Nk/2) ψg (x)‖ℱ ≤ Dk e-δ|x|m+1 with some constants m ≥ 0, Dk > 0, and δ > 0 independent of k. In particular [Formula: see text] for 0 < β < δ/2 is obtained.

We consider the entanglement properties of ground states of Hamiltonians which are sums of commuting projectors (we call these commuting projector Hamiltonians), in particular whether or not they have ``trivial" ground states, where a state is trivial if it is constructed by a local quantum circuit of bounded depth and range acting on a product state. It is known that Hamiltonians such as the toric code only have nontrivial ground states in two dimensions. Conversely, commuting projector Hamiltonians which are sums of two-body interactions have trivial ground states\cite{bv}. Using a coarse-graining procedure, this implies that any such Hamiltonian with bounded range interactions in one dimension has a trivial ground state. In this paper, we further explore the question of which Hamiltonians have trivial ground states. We define an ``interaction complex" for a Hamiltonian, which generalizes the notion of interaction graph and we show that if the interaction complex can be continuously mapped to a $1$-complex using a map with bounded diameter of pre-images then the Hamiltonian has a trivial ground state assuming one technical condition on the Hamiltonians holds (this condition holds for all stabilizer Hamiltonians, and we additionally prove the result for all Hamiltonians under one assumption on the $1$-complex). While this includes the cases considered by Ref.~\onlinecite{bv}, we show that it also includes a larger class of Hamiltonians whose interaction complexes cannot be coarse-grained into the case of Ref.~\onlinecite{bv} but still can be mapped continuously to a $1$-complex. One motivation for this study is an approach to the quantum PCP conjecture. We note that many commonly studied interaction complexes can be mapped to a $1$-complex after removing a small fraction of sites. For commuting projector Hamiltonians on such complexes, in order to find low energy trivial states for the original Hamiltonian, it would suffice to find trivial ground states for the Hamiltonian with those sites removed. Such trivial states can act as a classical witness to the existence of a low energy state. While this result applies for commuting Hamiltonians and does not necessarily apply to other Hamiltonians, it suggests that to prove a quantum PCP conjecture for commuting Hamiltonians, it is worth investigating interaction complexes which cannot be mapped to $1$-complexes after removing a small fraction of points. We define this more precisely below; in some sense this generalizes the notion of an expander graph. Surprisingly, such complexes do exist as will be shown elsewhere\cite{fh}, and have useful properties in quantum coding theory.

The zero-temperature ground state properties of experimental 87Rb condensate are studied in a harmonic plus quartic trap [ V(r) =  ½mω2r2 + λr4 ]. The anharmonic parameter (λ) is slowly tuned from harmonic to anharmonic. For each choice of λ, the many-particle Schrödinger equation is solved using the potential harmonic expansion method and determines the lowest effective many-body potential. We utilize the correlated two-body basis function, which keeps all possible two-body correlations. The use of van der Waals interaction gives realistic pictures. We calculate kinetic energy, trapping potential energy, interaction energy, and total ground state energy of the condensate in this confining potential, modelled experimentally. The motivation of the present study is to investigate the crucial dependency of the properties of an interacting quantum many-body system on λ. The average size of the condensate has also been calculated to observe how the stability of repulsive condensate depends on anharmonicity. In particular, our calculation presents a clear physical picture of the repulsive condensate in an anharmonic trap.

Abstract The ground state of a fermionic condensate is well protected against perturbations in the presence of an isotropic gap. Regions of gap suppression, surfaces and vortex cores which host Andreev-bound states, seemingly lift that strict protection. Here we show that in superfluid 3He the role of bound states is more subtle: when a macroscopic object moves in the superfluid at velocities exceeding the Landau critical velocity, little to no bulk pair breaking takes place, while the damping observed originates from the bound states covering the moving object. We identify two separate timescales that govern the bound state dynamics, one of them much longer than theoretically anticipated, and show that the bound states do not interact with bulk excitations.

We have studied the ground state properties of the Falicov-Kimball model with unconstrained hopping. It is shown that the model still behaves non-trivially, although it no longer depends on the actual lattice structure and dimensionality of the system. For arbitrary ion configurations with total number of ions Ni, we have been able to determine domains in the plane of the chemical potentials of electrons and ions where these ion configurations are ground states. The phase diagram of the model is discussed.
