  • High-Field Magnetism of the Spin-1/2 Two-Leg-Ladder Antiferromagnet Cu(DEP)Cl2 under High Pressure

    Morimoto T., Morikawa E., Nihongi K., Kida T., Narumi Y., Honda Z., Furukawa S., Uwatoko Y., Kindo K., Hagiwara M.

    Journal of the Physical Society of Japan 94 ( 2 )  2025.02

    ISSN  00319015

    　View Summary

    We report the magnetic properties of powder samples of the two-leg-ladder antiferromagnet Cu(DEP)Cl2 (DEP: 2,3-diethylpyradine) measured in magnetic fields of up to 40 T under pressures (P) of up to 1.7 GPa. Measured magnetic properties (magnetic susceptibility and high-field magnetization with two transition fields) at ambient P are compared with those calculated by a quantum Monte Carlo method and are well explained by the two-leg-ladder antiferromagnetic model with large rung exchange interaction (Jrung). A peak of magnetic susceptibility shifts largely to a higher temperature with a significant decrease in height, and both transition fields shift largely to higher fields at a critical pressure Pc of approximately 0.2 GPa. The results of an evaluation of these exchange constants below and above Pc indicate that antiferromagnetic two-leg ladders (Jrung > Jleg) with a very weak Jint changed into strongly coupled (Jrung) antiferromagnetic dimers with weak Jleg and Jint

  • Phase Diagram of a Spin-\(\frac{1}{2}\) Heisenberg Ladder with a Chirality–Chirality Interaction

    Fontaine M., Furukawa S.

    Journal of the Physical Society of Japan 93 ( 12 )  2024.12

    ISSN  00319015

    　View Summary

    A spin-12 Heisenberg model with a chirality–chirality interaction (CCI) on a two-leg ladder provides a minimal setup to explore an interplay between spin and chirality degrees of freedom. This model is potentially relevant for understanding the effects of a four-spin ring exchange and a phonon-mediated interaction on a ladder. By applying the Abelian bosonization and two types of spin-chirality duality, we derive a comprehensive ground-state phase diagram that includes previously unexplored cases of a ferromagnetic rung exchange Jτ < 0 or a negative CCI Kch < 0. The phase diagram consists of the rung singlet (RS) phase, the Haldane phase, and three non-magnetic ordered phases. Moreover, the RS and Haldane phases consist of several regions with different dominant correlations in terms of spin, dimer, or chirality. We perform numerical simulations to confirm the predicted phase structure and critical properties.

  • System-environment entanglement phase transitions

    Ashida Y., Furukawa S., Oshikawa M.

    Physical Review B 110 ( 9 )  2024.09

    ISSN  24699950

    　View Summary

    Entanglement in quantum many-body systems can exhibit universal phenomena governed by long-distance properties. We study universality and phase transitions of the entanglement inherent to open many-body systems, namely, the entanglement between a system of interest and its environment. Specifically, we consider the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid (TLL) under a local measurement and analyze its unconditioned nonunitary evolution, where the measurement outcomes are averaged over. We quantify the system-environment entanglement by the Rényi entropy of the post-measurement density matrix, whose size-independent term encodes the universal low-energy physics. We develop a field-theoretical description to relate the universal term to the effective ground-state degeneracy known as the g function in a boundary conformal field theory, and use the renormalization group method to determine its value. We show that the universal contribution is determined by the TLL parameter K and can exhibit singularity signifying an entanglement phase transition. Surprisingly, in certain cases the size-independent contribution can increase as a function of the measurement strength in contrast to what is naïvely expected from the g-theorem. We argue that this unconventional behavior could be attributed to the dangerously irrelevant term which has been found in studies of the resistively shunted Josephson junction. We also check these results by numerical calculations in the spin-12 XXZ chain subject to a site-resolved measurement. Possible experimental realization in ultracold gases, which requires no postselections, is discussed.

  • Symmetry, topology, duality, chirality, and criticality in a spin-1/2 XXZ ladder with a four-spin interaction

    Fontaine M., Sugimoto K., Furukawa S.

    Physical Review B (American Physical Society)  109 ( 13 ) 134413 2024.04

    Research paper (scientific journal), Joint Work, Accepted,  ISSN  24699950

    　View Summary

    We study the ground-state phase diagram of a spin-12 XXZ model with a chirality-chirality interaction (CCI) on a two-leg ladder. This model offers a minimal setup to study an interplay between spin and chirality degrees of freedom. The spin-chirality duality transformation allows us to relate the regimes of weak and strong CCIs. By applying the Abelian bosonization and the duality, we obtain a rich phase diagram that contains distinct gapped featureless and ordered phases. In particular, Néel and vector chiral orders appear for easy-axis anisotropy, while two distinct symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases appear for easy-plane anisotropy. The two SPT phases can be viewed as twisted variants of the Haldane phase. We also present an effective description in terms of (spinor) hard-core bosons, which reveals critical behavior on the self-dual line in the easy-axis and easy-plane regimes. We perform numerical simulations to confirm the predicted phase structure and critical properties. We further demonstrate that the two SPT phases and a trivial phase are distinguished by topological indices in the presence of certain symmetries. A similar phase structure is expected in a spin-12 XXZ ladder with four-spin ring exchange.

  • Ground-state phase diagram of a spin-1/2 frustrated XXZ ladder

    Ogino T., Kaneko R., Morita S., Furukawa S.

    Physical Review B (American Physical Society)  106 ( 15 ) 155106 2022.10

    Research paper (scientific journal), Joint Work, Accepted,  ISSN  24699950

    　View Summary

    We study the ground-state phase diagram of a spin-12 frustrated XXZ ladder, in which two antiferromagnetic chains are coupled by competing rung and diagonal interactions, J⊥ and J×. Previous studies on the isotropic model have revealed that a fluctuation-induced effective dimer attraction between the legs stabilizes the columnar dimer (CD) phase in the highly frustrated regime J⊥≈2J×, especially for ferromagnetic J⊥,×<0. By means of effective field theory and numerical analyses, we extend this analysis to the XXZ model, and we obtain a rich phase diagram. The diagram includes four gapped featureless phases with no symmetry breaking: the rung singlet (RS) and Haldane phases as well as their twisted variants, the RS∗ and Haldane∗ phases, which are all distinct in the presence of certain symmetries. Significantly, the Haldane-CD transition point in the isotropic model turns out to be a crossing point of two transition lines in the XXZ model, and the stripe Néel and RS∗ phases appear between these lines. This indicates a nontrivial interplay between the effective dimer attraction and the exchange anisotropy. In the easy-plane regime, the four featureless phases and two critical phases are found to compete in a complex manner depending on the signs of J⊥,×.

    Topologically ordered states exhibit a number of intriguing properties such as quantized responses and quasiparticles obeying fractional statistics. In this study, we have theoretically explored novel topologically ordered states that can be realized in highly controlled ultracold atomic systems, and investigated their physical properties. In particular, we have determined detailed ground-state phase diagrams of two-component Bose gases in synthetic gauge fields, and revealed (i) the appearance of a bosonic integer quantum Hall state with unusual edge states and (ii) a nontrivial role of time-reversal symmetry in the interaction effect. We have also shown that Bose-Einstein condensate in optical lattices can host an excitation band with nontrivial topology, and that edge states originating from it can be observed by exploiting a macroscopic quantum interference.
