Understanding extreme non-locality in many-body quantum systems can help resolve questions in thermostatistics and laser physics. The existence of symmetry selection rules for Hamiltonians with non-decaying terms on infinite-size lattices can lead to finite energies per site, which deserves attention. Here, we present a tensor network approach to construct the ground states of nontrivial symmetric infinite-dimensional spin Hamiltonians based on constrained optimizations of their infinite matrix product states description, which contains no truncation step, offers a very simple mathematical structure, and other minor advantages at the cost of slightly higher polynomial complexity in comparison to an existing method. More precisely speaking, our proposed algorithm is in part equivalent to the more generic and well-established solvers of infinite density-matrix renormalization-group and variational uniform matrix product states, which are, in principle, capable of accurately representing the ground states of such infinite-range-interacting many-body systems. However, we employ some mathematical simplifications that would allow for efficient brute-force optimizations of tensor-network matrices for the specific cases of highly-symmetric infinite-size infinite-range models. As a toy-model example, we showcase the effectiveness and explain some features of our method by finding the ground state of the U(1)-symmetric infinite-dimensional antiferromagnetic $XX$ Heisenberg model.

Solving ground states of quantum many-body systems has been a long-standing problem in condensed matter physics. Here, we propose a new unsupervised machine learning algorithm to find the ground state of a general quantum many-body system utilizing the benefits of artificial neural network. Without assuming the specific forms of the eigenvectors, this algorithm can find the eigenvectors in an unbiased way with well controlled accuracy. As examples, we apply this algorithm to 1D Ising and Heisenberg models, where the results match very well with exact diagonalization.
Spin squeezing -- a central resource for quantum metrology -- results from the non-linear, entangling evolution of an initially factorized spin state. Here we show that universal squeezing dynamics is generated by a very large class of $S=1/2$ spin Hamiltonians with axial symmetry, in relationship with the existence of a peculiar structure of the low-lying Hamiltonian eigenstates -- the so-called Andersons tower of states. Such states are fundamentally related to the appearance of spontaneous symmetry breaking in quantum systems, and they are parametrically close to the eigenstates of a planar rotor (Dicke states), in that they feature an anomalously large value of the total angular momentum. We show that, starting from a coherent spin state, a generic $U(1)$-symmetric Hamiltonian featuring the Andersons tower of states generates the same squeezing evolution at short times as the one governed by the paradigmatic one-axis-twisting (or planar rotor) model of squeezing dynamics. The full squeezing evolution is seemingly reproduced for interactions decaying with distance $r$ as $r^{-alpha}$ when $alpha < 5d/3$ in $d$ dimensions. Our results connect quantum simulation with quantum metrology by unveiling the squeezing power of a large variety of Hamiltonian dynamics that are currently implemented by different quantum simulation platforms.
We propose a generalized Lanczos method to generate the many-body basis states of quantum lattice models using tensor-network states (TNS). The ground-state wave function is represented as a linear superposition composed from a set of TNS generated by Lanczos iteration. This method improves significantly both the accuracy and the efficiency of the tensor-network algorithm and allows the ground state to be determined accurately using TNS with very small virtual bond dimensions. This state contains significantly more entanglement than each individual TNS, reproducing correctly the logarithmic size dependence of the entanglement entropy in a critical system. The method can be generalized to non-Hamiltonian systems and to the calculation of low-lying excited states, dynamical correlation functions, and other physical properties of strongly correlated systems.
We revisit the corner transfer matrix renormalization group (CTMRG) method of Nishino and Okunishi for contracting two-dimensional (2D) tensor networks and demonstrate that its performance can be substantially improved by determining the tensors using an eigenvalue solver as opposed to the power method used in CTMRG. We also generalize the variational uniform matrix product state (VUMPS) ansatz for diagonalizing 1D quantum Hamiltonians to the case of 2D transfer matrices and discuss similarities with the corner methods. These two new algorithms will be crucial to improving the performance of variational infinite projected entangled pair state (PEPS) methods.
The Hund coupling in multiorbital Hubbard systems induces spin freezing and associated Hund metal behavior. Using dynamical mean field theory, we explore the effect of local moment formation, spin and charge excitations on the entropy and specific heat of the three-orbital model. In particular, we demonstrate a substantial enhancement of the entropy in the spin-frozen metal phase at low temperatures, and peaks in the specific heat associated with the activation of spin and charge fluctuations at high temperature. We also clarify how these temperature scales depend on the interaction parameters and filling.
