演題:Symmetry-protection of non-Hermitian degeneracies for correlated systems
要旨:In this decade, topological phases have attracted much interest. As the results of extensive analysis, a variety of topological insulators/superconductors have been reported which arise from interplay between symmetry and the topological properties.
In parallel to the above progress, non-Hermitian systems [1] have been pioneered as new platforms of topological physics [2]. Notably, the platforms of non-Hermitian topological physics extend to a wide range of systems; cold atoms out of equilibrium [2], correlated systems in equilibrium [3,4] etc. As this field has been pioneered very recently, many significant issues remain open questions. One of them is the interplay between symmetry and exceptional points which are topological non-Hermitian degeneracies.
We here address this issue by analyzing correlated systems. Our analysis discovers symmetry-protected non-Hermitian degeneracies [5]. By employing the dynamical mean-field theory, we demonstrate the emergence of symmetry-protected exceptional rings for a honeycomb Hubbard model. If time allows, we also show the emergence of symmetry-protected exceptional rings for classical systems [6], indicating the ubiquity of the symmetry-protected non-Hermitian degeneracies.

演題:Variational Monte Carlo method for electron dynamics
要旨:The variational Monte Carlo (VMC) method is a powerful method without the sign problem to perform simulations on quantum many-body systems. This method has been applied to investigate physical properties in a wide range of strongly correlated electron systems. Although most applications of the VMC method were limited to analyses of the ground states, it has been recently shown that the calculations of excited states such as nonequilibrium transient states are possible. In this talk, I present our recent work on the VMC method for correlated electron dynamics and its application to the Hubbard model. I also explain open source software mVMC, which has been recently developed for users to easily perform VMC simulations.

演題:Quantum geometric tensor in ultracold gases and other synthetic quantum systems
要旨:Topological and geometrical property of bands have attracted great attention during the past decade due to the development of the study of topological phases of matter in solid-state electron systems. Probably the most well-studied geometrical property of bands is the Berry curvature, integral of which gives rise to the topological Chern number. A less well known geometrical property is the quantum metric, or the Fubini-Study metric, which provides a metric structure in the Brillouin zone. Both Berry curvature and quantum metric are defined through momentum-space derivative of Bloch states, and are both gauge invariant. In fact, we can uniformly describe both concepts in terms of the quantum geometric tensor, real part of which is the quantum metric and imaginary part is the Berry curvature. In this talk, I explain intuitive meaning of the quantum metric, and discuss some physical consequences. I will also discuss recent experimental measurements of the quantum metric in ultracold atomic gases and diamond NV-centers, where the quantum metric was extracted through observation of excitation rates upon periodic modulation to the system.

演題:First-principles calculation of the Seebeck coefficient for Fe/MgO/Fe magnetic tunneling junction
要旨:Recent progress of spin caloritronics enables us to manipulate heat and spin currents. One of the emerging interesting phenomena in spin caloritronics is the analogue of the classical Seebeck effect, such as the magneto-Seebeck effect in magnetic tunneling junctions (MTJs) [1], which is caused by spin-dependent charge current combined with heat current in parallel and anti-parallel magnetization configurations. However, understanding of the magneto-Seebeck effect in MTJs from the property of the material has not been developed so much, although it has been measured and calculated in previous studies [1,2].
In the present work, we calculate the Seebeck coefficients of Fe(7ML)/MgO(nML)/Fe(7ML) MTJ using the first-principles density functional method. The electronic transport coefficients of the MTJs are calculated from the Landauer formula. We find that the interface resonanant tunneling around the Fermi level [3] can enhance the Seebeck effect and that the effect of the resonancant tunneling depends on the in-plane lattice constant of the MTJ and the number of MgO layers [4]. Our results will be important for designing MTJs with high Seebeck coefficient.

演題:Approximate quantum Markov network at finite temperatures
要旨:In recent years, the Gibbs sampling on quantum computer attracts more and more attentions due to the application to exponential quantum speed up of the semidefinite programming problem [1] and the appearance of machine learning using a quantum Boltzmann machine [2]. Here, the quantum Gibbs states are described by e^{-βH}/Z (β: inverse temperature) for the system Hamiltonian H. As methods of quantum Gibbs sampling, Quantum metropolis sampling algorithm [3] and Davies Gibbs sampling algorithm [4] have been well-known. These algorithms heuristically works well, but the precision analyses are generally extremely difficult and the convergence is often exponentially slower with respect to the system size (eg, spin glass system). Our motivation in this research is to clarify under what conditions the quantum Gibbs sampling is implemented efficiently.
For the purpose, we will first introduce a method to utilize the quantum Markov property. When the system is decomposed into A, B, and C subsystems, we call that a quantum state is approximately Markov if the conditional mutual information I(A,C|B) between A and C via B exponentially decays with respect to the distance between A and C. If the Gibbs state is given by the approximate Markov network, we know that the quantum sampling can be efficiently implemented by a small depth local quantum circuits [5].
In this talk, I will show that such a quantum Markov property always hold for quantum Gibbs states above a certain threshold temperature. In addition to the efficient quantum Gibbs sampling, I will also explain several implications of the quantum Markov property: the strong versions of the area law, the clustering theorem, and existence of the topological entanglement entropy. This is a joint work with Kohtaro Kato and Fernando Brandão in Caltech IQIM.

演題:An algorithmic detectability limit of community detection in graphs
要旨:Modularity maximization [1] using greedy algorithms continues to be a popular approach toward community detection in graphs, even after various better forming algorithms have been proposed. Apart from its clear mechanism and ease of implementation, this approach is persistently popular because, presumably, its risk of algorithmic failure is not well understood. In this talk [2], we provide an insight into this issue by estimating the algorithmic performance limit of the stochastic block model inference using modularity maximization. This is achieved by counting the number of metastable states under a local update rule [3]. Our results offer a quantitative insight into the level of sparsity at which a greedy algorithm typically fails.

演題:Recent results on non self-adjoint Hamiltonians
要旨:We discuss some recent results on quantum systems whose dynamics is driven by certain non self-adjoint Hamiltonians. In particular, after a short introduction on modified commutation and anti-commutation relations, our plan is to discuss a finite-dimensional version of the CCR, a possible deformed version of the so-called generalized Heisenberg algebra, and a no-go result for the damped quantum harmonic oscillator. We also will discuss some results on tridiagonal non self-adjoint factorizable Hamiltonians, and on their SUSY counterparts.
