We demonstrate that with appropriate quantum correlation function, a real-space network model can be constructed to study the phase transitions in quantum systems. For the three-dimensional bosonic system, the single-particle density matrix is adopted to construct the adjacency matrix. We show that the Bose-Einstein condensate transition can be interpreted as the transition into a small-world network, which is accurately captured by the small-world coefficient. For the one-dimensional disordered system, using the electron diffusion operator to build the adjacency matrix, we find that the Anderson localized states create many weakly-linked subgraphs, which significantly reduces the clustering coefficient and lengthens the shortest path. We show that the crossover from delocalized to localized regimes as a function of the disorder strength can be identified as the loss of global connection, which is revealed by the small-world coefficient as well as other independent measures like the robustness, the efficiency, and the algebraic connectivity. Our results suggest that the quantum phase transitions can be visualized in real space and characterized by the network analysis with suitable choices of quantum correlation functions.
Identifying the relevant coarse-grained degrees of freedom in a complex physical system is a key stage in developing powerful effective theories in and out of equilibrium. The celebrated renormalization group provides a framework for this task, but i
We introduce a general method for optimizing real-space renormalization-group transformations to study the critical properties of a classical system. The scheme is based on minimizing the Kullback-Leibler divergence between the distribution of the sy
In quantum many-body systems with local interactions, the effects of boundary conditions are considered to be negligible, at least for sufficiently large systems. Here we show an example of the opposite. We consider a spin chain with two competing in
We investigate the statistical properties of interfering directed paths in disordered media. At long distance, the average sign of the sum over paths may tend to zero (sign-disordered) or remain finite (sign-ordered) depending on dimensionality and t
A wave function exposed to measurements undergoes pure state dynamics, with deterministic unitary and probabilistic measurement induced state updates, defining a quantum trajectory. For many-particle systems, the competition of these different elemen
