We study the mutual information between two lattice-blocks in terms of von Neumann entropies for one-dimensional infinite lattice systems. Quantum $q$-state Potts model and transverse field spin-$1/2$ XY model are considered numerically by using the infinite matrix product state (iMPS) approach. As a system parameter varies, block-block mutual informations exhibit a singular behavior that enables to identify critical points for quantum phase transition. As happens with the von Neumann entanglement entropy of a single block, at the critical points, the block-block mutual information between the two lattice-blocks of $ell$ contiguous sites equally partitioned in a lattice-block of $2ell$ contiguous sites shows a logarithmic leading behavior, which yields the central charge $c$ of the underlying conformal field theory. As the separation between the two lattice-blocks increases, the mutual information reveals a consistent power-law decaying behavior for various truncation dimensions and lattice-block sizes. The critical exponent of block-block mutual information in the thermodynamic limit is estimated by extrapolating the exponents of power-law decaying regions for finite truncation dimensions. For a given lattice-block size $ell$, the critical exponents for the same universality classes seem to have very close values each other. Whereas the critical exponents have different values to a degree of distinction for different universality classes. As the lattice-block size becomes bigger, the critical exponent becomes smaller.
Temperature dependent crystal structures of the quasi-one-dimensional ladder material BaFe2Se3 are examined. Combining the optical second harmonic generation (SHG) experiments and neutron diffraction measurements, we elucidate the crystal structure with Pmn2_1 space group in the low-temperature phase below Ts2 = 400 K, further above Neel temperature. This low-temperature phase loses the spatial inversion symmetry, where a resultant macroscopic polarization emerges along the rung direction. The transition is characterized by block-type lattice distortions with the magneto-striction mechanism. Change in the electrical resistivity and the magnetic susceptibility across the polar-nonpolar transition also suggests a modification of the electronic states reflecting the structural instability. Consistency and discrepancy with the existing theory are discussed.
We develop an information-theoretic view of the stochastic block model, a popular statistical model for the large-scale structure of complex networks. A graph $G$ from such a model is generated by first assigning vertex labels at random from a finite alphabet, and then connecting vertices with edge probabilities depending on the labels of the endpoints. In the case of the symmetric two-group model, we establish an explicit `single-letter characterization of the per-vertex mutual information between the vertex labels and the graph. The explicit expression of the mutual information is intimately related to estimation-theoretic quantities, and --in particular-- reveals a phase transition at the critical point for community detection. Below the critical point the per-vertex mutual information is asymptotically the same as if edges were independent. Correspondingly, no algorithm can estimate the partition better than random guessing. Conversely, above the threshold, the per-vertex mutual information is strictly smaller than the independent-edges upper bound. In this regime there exists a procedure that estimates the vertex labels better than random guessing.
Inelastic neutron scattering recently confirmed the theoretical prediction of a $uparrowuparrowdownarrowdownarrow$-magnetic state along the legs of quasi-one-dimensional (quasi-1D) iron-based ladders in the orbital-selective Mott phase (OSMP). We show here that electron-doping of the OSMP induces a whole class of novel block-states with a variety of periodicities beyond the previously reported $pi/2$ pattern. We discuss the magnetic phase diagram of the OSMP regime that could be tested by neutrons once appropriate quasi-1D quantum materials with the appropriate dopings are identified.
We present a method to compute, quickly and efficiently, the mutual information achieved by an IID (independent identically distributed) complex Gaussian input on a block Rayleigh-faded channel without side information at the receiver. The method accommodates both scalar and MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) settings. Operationally, the mutual information thus computed represents the highest spectral efficiency that can be attained using standard Gaussian codebooks. Examples are provided that illustrate the loss in spectral efficiency caused by fast fading and how that loss is amplified by the use of multiple transmit antennas. These examples are further enriched by comparisons with the channel capacity under perfect channel-state information at the receiver, and with the spectral efficiency attained by pilot-based transmission.
We calculate the entanglement entropy of blocks of size x embedded in a larger system of size L, by means of a combination of analytical and numerical techniques. The complete entanglement entropy in this case is a sum of three terms. One is a universal x and L-dependent term, first predicted by Calabrese and Cardy, the second is a nonuniversal term arising from the thermodynamic limit, and the third is a finite size correction. We give an explicit expression for the second, nonuniversal, term for the one-dimensional Hubbard model, and numerically assess the importance of all three contributions by comparing to the entropy obtained from fully numerical diagonalization of the many-body Hamiltonian. We find that finite-size corrections are very small. The universal Calabrese-Cardy term is equally small for small blocks, but becomes larger for x>1. In all investigated situations, however, the by far dominating contribution is the nonuniversal term steming from the thermodynamic limit.
