Fidelity Mechanics: Analogues of the Four Thermodynamic Laws and Landauer’s Principle
Abstract
:1. Introduction
- (i)
- There is long-standing folklore pointing towards a similarity between critical points and black holes, which usually refers to the fact that the effects from a critical point at zero temperature may be observed in a critical regime at low but finite temperature [51]. Given that both critical points and black holes originate from singularities, there should be a method for clarifying a formal similarity between QPTs and black holes.
- (ii)
- RG flows from an unstable fixed point to a stable fixed point are irreversible. This is relevant to Zamolodchikov’s c-theorem [52,53,54] and Cardy’s a-theorem [55,56], which may be regarded as the adaptation of the renowned Boltzmann’s H theorem to the RG setting. In real space RG theories, such as Kadanoff block spins as well as other coarse-graining RG schemes, high-energy degrees of freedom are discarded. Therefore, RG flows seem irreversible in a similar sense to the situations described by Boltzmann’s H theorem, where physical time is replaced by an RG parameter [57]. Thus, it is desirable to see if there are any intrinsic explanations for the irreversibility from the perspective of fidelity.
- (iii)
- As Landauer first noted [58], at finite temperature T, in order to erase one bit of information, we need to perform minimum work w: , with being the Boltzmann constant. At zero temperature, do we still need to perform any minimum work to erase one bit of information?
- (iv)
- During the construction of an effective Hamiltonian along any RG flow, an unlimited number of irrelevant coupling constants proliferate. In practice, this prevents access to a stable fixed point. It is tempting to see if there is any deep reason underlying this observation.
- (v)
- A proper definition of QPTs is still lacking. Traditionally, the ground-state energy density is used as an indicator to signal a critical point, but it fails in many situations [59]. Instead, some exotic indicators, such as entanglement entropy [60], topological entanglement entropy [61,62], and the ground-state fidelity per lattice site [26,27,28], are introduced to signal QPTs due to recent progress in our understanding of quantum critical phenomena. Therefore, it is important to find a proper criterion to define QPTs.

2.1.3. A Characteristic Line and a Characteristic Point
- (i)
- Generically, the symmetry group of the Hamiltonian varies with coupling parameters and . If the Hamiltonian possesses a distinct symmetry group when the coupling constants take special values on a characteristic line in a given phase, then it separates this phase into different regimes in the control parameter space. An example to illustrate this observation is the quantum spin- XYZ model (3). For this model, on the line (), the Hamiltonian possesses symmetry, which is lost when coupling parameters move away from this characteristic line. In particular, a symmetry occurs when one coupling parameter is infinite in value. This type of characteristic line is referred to as a symmetric line.
- (ii)
- Characteristic lines also arise from dualities [3,76], which are defined via a local or nonlocal unitary transformation, and they separate a given phase into different regimes in the control parameter space. An example to illustrate this observation is the quantum spin- XY model (1) [3,76]. Dualities exist along the two lines ( and ). This type of characteristic line is referred to as a dual line. Caveat: Sometimes it is a bit tricky to recognize a dual line as a type of characteristic line. Suppose dualities exist on a plane. Then, the plane itself is a characteristic plane. Generically, a line in this plane is not a characteristic line, unless this line is self-dual in nature. However, if a line turns out to be a dual line for a sub-model, with one of the two control parameters being zero, then it is also recognized as a characteristic line for the full model. Mathematically, this amounts to stating that such a characteristic line is semi-self-dual in the sense that only one of the two coupling parameters remains to be the same. This is seen in the quantum spin- XYZ model (3) and the quantum spin-1 XYZ model (5).
- (iii)
- Another type of characteristic line comes from factorizing fields [77,78,79,80,81,82]. Indeed, apart from various analytical approaches, there is an efficient numerical means for identifying factorizing fields for quantum many-body systems in the context of tensor networks [70,71] (also cf. Appendix B). A line of factorizing fields divides a specific phase into different regimes. Examples to illustrate this observation are the quantum spin- XY model (1) and the quantum spin- XYZ model (3) [77,78,79,80,81,82]. An interesting feature for a line of factorizing fields is that they frequently occur in a symmetry-broken phase and, in turn, are frequently associated with the PT transitions and FM transitions. We remark that factorizing fields also occur when one coupling parameter takes infinity in value or when more than one coupling parameters are infinite in value. This type of characteristic line is referred to as a factorizing-field line.
- (iv)
- There is a peculiar type of characteristic line, originating from an isolated critical or a multi-critical point and ending at a point on a symmetric line, a dual line, or a factorizing-field line. This type of characteristic line is needed, if any other type of characteristic line is absent at such an isolated critical point or a multi-critical point. An illustrative example is a characteristic line () for the transverse-field quantum Ising model in a longitudinal field (2). This type of characteristic line is referred to as a soft line due to the fact that this type of characteristic line does not impose any rigid constraints in a sense that its location in the control parameter space is not fixed in contrast to the constraints imposed by a symmetric line, a dual line, and a factorizing-field line.

- For a single-copy system, if the ground-state energy density monotonically decreases from a critical point to x, then fidelity internal energy takes the following form: , with being an additive constant, and being positive. For a composite system consisting of two identical copies, fidelity mechanical-state functions remain the same as a single-copy system. This is illustrated in Figure 5i. Now, one copy is deleted from a composite fidelity mechanical system for a value of a dominant control parameter between x and . To perform the deletion, a certain amount of fidelity work, quantifying the computational costs, , needs to be performed, as required by the analogue of Landauer’s principle at zero temperature, to compensate for the increment of fidelity internal energy , as illustrated in Figure 5iiAs the last step, which is illustrated in Figure 5iii, the information about the retained copy is removed from the current state media and recorded in the information storage media.

13. Analogues of the Four Thermodynamic Laws, Fidelity Flows and Miscellanea
13.1. Analogues of the Four Thermodynamic Laws
- (i)
- Zeroth law—for a given fidelity mechanical system, which is in equilibrium with its environment, fidelity temperature quantifies quantum fluctuations.
- (ii)
- First law—fidelity internal energy may be transferred from a fidelity mechanical system, as fidelity work or fidelity heat (defined via fidelity entropy), to its environment or vice versa. Mathematically, we have .
- (iii)
- Second law—the total fidelity entropy of a fidelity mechanical system and its environment never decreases. Physically, this amounts to stating that the information gain we are able to recover from the environment never exceeds information loss incurred due to information erasure in a fidelity mechanical system. Mathematically, we have. Generically, and . Therefore, , with being defined by .
- (iv)
- Third law—for a fidelity mechanical system, fidelity entropy approaches a (local) maximum and fidelity temperature approaches zero, as a stable fixed point is approached. However, the probability for accessing a stable fixed point is zero.
13.2. Fidelity Flows as an Alternative Form of RG Flows
- (a)
- For the quantum spin- XY model ( and ), two stable fixed points are identified for the Ising universality class at (0, 1) and (∞, 1), which is protected by the symmetry, and one stable fixed point for the PT universality class at (∞, 0), which is protected by the symmetry. For the Ising universality class, a symmetry emerges at (0, 1) and (∞, 1), in addition to the symmetry, whereas for the PT universality class, a symmetry, defined by , , and , , , emerges at (∞, 0), in addition to the symmetry. Generically, it is the emergence of such an extra symmetry at a stable fixed point that justifies why it is not accessible. On the other hand, given two lines of critical points belonging to two different universality classes, we interpret the disordered circle as a separation line between two different types of fidelity flows, with one type of fidelity flows starting from unstable fixed points with central charge , and the other type of fidelity flows starting from unstable fixed points with central charge . Note that both types of fidelity flows end at the same stable fixed point , at which fidelity entropy reaches a local maximum. From an interior point of view, no fidelity flow exists on the line of the Gaussian critical points ( with ), reflecting the fact that this line of critical points originates from the level crossings; thus, the ground-state fidelity per lattice site is zero. On the Ising line of critical points ( with ), central charge c is 1 when is infinite in value, and c is , when is finite and non-zero. Therefore, fidelity flows start from (1, ∞) to (1, 1) and from (1, 0) to (1, 1).
- (b)
- For the transverse-field quantum Ising model in a longitudinal field (), two stable fixed points (0, 0) and (∞, 0) are identified for the Ising universality class, which is protected by the symmetry, and one stable fixed point (1, ∞) is identified for the Ising universality class without any symmetry, corresponding to the Hamiltonian with and . In addition, there is one stable fixed point (0, ∞) protected by the symmetry when . Indeed, (1, ∞) should be identified with (0, ∞). Note that an extra symmetry emerges at stable fixed points (0, 0), (∞, 0), and (1, ∞), and an extra symmetry, defined by , , and , , , emerges at a stable fixed point (0, ∞). This justifies why a stable fixed point is not accessible.
- (c)
- For the quantum spin- XYZ model (), three stable fixed points are identified for the Gaussian universality class at (0, 1) and (, 1), and two stable fixed points are identified for the KT universality class at (0, 1) and (∞, 0). In addition, a stable fixed point (−∞, 0) originates from the FM transition point at (, 0). Both the KT and FM transitions are protected by the symmetry as well as the dihedral symmetry group and the time-reversal symmetry group . The fact that (∞, 1) and (∞, 0) represent two different stable fixed points may be understood from both symmetry-breaking order and RG flows. In fact, a symmetry exists on the line ( with ), where is generated by : and , and is generated by the one-site translation : , with . However, only two-fold degeneracies exist, with each degenerate ground state invariant under the combined action , which generates another . Thus, the symmetry group, which is spontaneously broken, is . This is different from the cases with non-zero , in which the spontaneously broken symmetry group is . This also matches an observation that, for , there is a symmetry, which protects the KT transition. Once becomes nonzero, the symmetry is lost, and a continuous QPT changes from the KT universality class to the Gaussian universality class. In addition, it is the emergence of an extra symmetry at a stable fixed point, such as a symmetry at (0, 1) and (, 1), and a symmetry, defined by , , and , , , at (∞, 0) that justifies why a stable fixed point is not accessible. From an interior point of view, fidelity flows exist on the line of the Gaussian critical points ( with ), starting from (1, 0), and ending at (, 0); on the line of the Gaussian critical points ( with ), starting from () and ending at (1, 0); on the line of the Gaussian critical points ( with ), starting from (, 0) and ending at ().
- (d)
- For the quantum spin- XXZ model in a magnetic field, two stable fixed points (0, ∞) and (, 0) are identified for the PT universality class; one stable fixed point (−∞, 0) originates from the FM transition point and one stable fixed point (∞, 0) is identified for the KT universality class, protected by the symmetry, as well as the dihedral symmetry group and the time-reversal symmetry group . From an interior point of view, fidelity flows exist in the XY critical regime, starting from an IC transition point on the phase boundary between the XY phase and the AF phase and ending at the line of the PT transition points ( with ), in contrast to the chosen dominant control parameter x, which is in parallel to the horizontal axis, with h fixed. This is because any two ground states with different values of h for a given in the XY critical regime are orthogonal to each other due to the level crossings.
- (e)
- For the quantum spin-1 XYZ model (), three stable fixed points (0, 1) and (, 1) are identified for the Gaussian universality class; one metastable fixed point (1, 0) is identified for the KT universality class, one stable fixed point (, 0) is identified for the FM transition point , both of which are protected by the symmetry, as well as the dihedral symmetry group and the time-reversal symmetry group , and two stable fixed points and (∞, 0) and one metastable fixed point are identified for the Ising universality class. Note that, for a stable or metastable fixed point, its symmetric or dual images also constitutes a stable or metastable fixed point. From an interior point of view, fidelity flows exist on the line of the Gaussian critical points: with , starting from (, 0) and ending at the FM transition point (, 0). Here, is the KT transition from the critical XY phase to the Haldane phase on the -symmetric line (). This also happens on the dual image lines. In addition, fidelity flows exist on the phase boundaries between the Haldane phase and the symmetry-breaking ordered AF phases.
- (f)
- For the spin- Kitaev model on a honeycomb lattice ( and ), in addition to three stable fixed points , , and , and are also identified as stable fixed points in the gapped phases due to the variation of the symmetry group, although and may be identified with and . One stable fixed point is identified in the gapless spin liquid phase. From an interior point of view, fidelity flows exist on the boundaries between the gapless spin liquid phase and the gapped spin liquid phase: with and its dual image lines. For with , fidelity flows start from the transition points and and end at the -symmetric point .

- (a)
- No-cloning theorem: It is impossible to create an identical copy of an arbitrary unknown quantum state. The theorem was first articulated in Refs. [213,214]. It has profound implications in quantum information processing. Mathematically, the no-cloning theorem states that for an arbitrary normalized state on a system and an arbitrary normalized state on a system , there is no unitary operator satisfying , with depending on and .
- (b)
- No-deleting theorem: It appears as time-reversed and so is dual to the no-cloning theorem. Given two copies of some arbitrary quantum state, it is impossible to delete one of the copies [215]. Mathematically, suppose is an unknown quantum state in a Hilbert space. Then, there is no linear isometric transformation such that , with the final state of the ancilla being independent of .
- (c)
- No-hiding theorem: If information is missing from a given system due to interaction with the environment, then it is simply residing somewhere else. In other words, the missing information cannot be hidden in the correlations between a system and its environment. It was formalized in Ref. [216] and experimentally confirmed in Ref. [217].
