We consider the Haldane model, a 2D topological insulator whose phase is defined by the Chern number. We study its phases as temperature varies by means of the Uhlmann number, a finite temperature generalization of the Chern number. Because of the relation between the Uhlmann number and the dynamical transverse conductivity of the system, we evaluate also the conductivity of the model. This analysis does not show any sign of a phase transition induced by the temperature, nonetheless it gives a better understanding of the fate of the topological phase with the increase of the temperature, and it provides another example of the usefulness of the Uhlmann number as a novel tool to study topological properties at finite temperature.

We revisit the two-dimensional quantum Ising model by computing renormalization group flows close to its quantum critical point. The low but finite temperature regime in the vicinity of the quantum critical point is squashed between two distinct non- Gaussian fixed points: the classical fixed point dominated by thermal fluctuations and the quantum critical fixed point dominated by zero-point quantum fluctuations. Truncating an exact flow equation for the effective action we derive a set of renormalization group equations and analyze how the interplay of quantum and thermal fluctuations, both non-Gaussian in nature, influences the shape of the phase boundary and the region in the phase diagram where critical fluctuations occur. The solution of the flow equations makes this interplay transparent: we detect finite temperature crossovers by computing critical exponents and we confirm that the power law describing the finite temperature phase boundary as a function of control parameter is given by the correlation length exponent at zero temperature as predicted in an epsilon-expansion with epsilon=1 by Sachdev, Phys. Rev. B 55, 142 (1997).
We investigate the use of matrix product states (MPS) to approximate ground states of critical quantum spin chains with periodic boundary conditions (PBC). We identify two regimes in the (N,D) parameter plane, where N is the size of the spin chain an d D is the dimension of the MPS matrices. In the first regime MPS can be used to perform finite size scaling (FSS). In the complementary regime the MPS simulations show instead the clear signature of finite entanglement scaling (FES). In the thermodynamic limit (or large N limit), only MPS in the FSS regime maintain a finite overlap with the exact ground state. This observation has implications on how to correctly perform FSS with MPS, as well as on the performance of recent MPS algorithms for systems with PBC. It also gives clear evidence that critical models can actually be simulated very well with MPS by using the right scaling relations; in the appendix, we give an alternative derivation of the result of Pollmann et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 255701 (2009)] relating the bond dimension of the MPS to an effective correlation length.

This paper is devoted to the study of the evolution of holographic complexity after a local perturbation of the system at finite temperature. We calculate the complexity using both the complexity=action(CA) and the complexity=volume(CA) conjectures a nd find that the CV complexity of the total state shows the unbounded late time linear growth. The CA computation shows linear growth with fast saturation to a constant value. We estimate the CV and CA complexity linear growth coefficients and show, that finite temperature leads to violation of the Lloyd bound for CA complexity. Also it is shown that for composite system after the local quench the state with minimal entanglement may correspond to the maximal complexity.
The BBM is a promising candidate to study spin-one systems and to design quantum simulators based on its underlying Hamiltonian. The variety of different phases contains amongst other valuable and exotic phases the Haldane phase. We study the Kibble- Zurek physics of linear quenches into the Haldane phase. We outline ideal quench protocols to minimize defects in the final state while exploiting different linear quench protocols via the uniaxial or interaction term. Furthermore, we look at the fate of the string order when quenching from a topologically non-trivial phase to a trivial phase. Our studies show this depends significantly on the path chosen for quenching; for example, we discover quenches from Neel{} to Haldane phase which reach a string order greater than their ground state counterparts for the initial or final state at intermediate quench times.

The Ising model, with short-range interactions between constituents, is a basic mathematical model in statistical mechanics. It has been widely used to describe collective phenomena such as order-disorder phase transitions in various physical, biolog ical, economical, and social systems. However, it was proven that spontaneous phase transitions do not exist in the one-dimensional Ising models. Besides low dimensionality, frustration is the other well-known suppressor of phase transitions. Here I show that surprisingly, a strongly frustrated one-dimensional two-leg ladder Ising model can exhibit a marginal finite-temperature phase transition. It features a large latent heat, a sharp peak in specific heat, and unconventional order parameters, which classify the transition as involving an entropy-favored intermediate-temperature ordered state and further unveil a crossover to an exotic normal state in which frustration effectively decouples the two strongly interacted legs in a counterintuitive non-mean-field way. These exact results expose a mathematical structure that has not appeared before in phase-transition problems, and shed new light on our understanding of phase transitions and the dynamical actions of frustration. Applications of this model and its mechanisms to various systems with extensions to consider higher dimensions, quantum characters, or external fields, etc. are anticipated and briefly discussed---with insights into the puzzling phenomena of strange strong frustration and intermediate-temperature orders such as the Bozin-Billinge orbital-degeneracy-lifting recently discovered in real materials.
