12 Thermaliza6on Can we prepare thermal states? = e H /Z( ) Method 1: Couple to a bath of the right temperature and wait. S B But size of environment might be huge. Maybe not efficient. No guarantee Gibbs state will be reached

13 Method 2: Metropolis Sampling Consider e.g. Ising model: H = X hi,ji J ij s i s j + X i g i s i Coupling to bath modeled by stochasfc map Q i j "..."#"#...i! "..."""#...i Metropolis Update: Q i!j =min(1, exp( (E j E i ))) The stafonary state is the thermal (Gibbs) state: p i = e E i /Z

"..."""#...i Metropolis Update: Q i!j =min(1, exp( (E j E i ))) The stafonary state is the thermal (Gibbs) state: p i = e E i /Z (Metropolis et al 53) We devised a general method to calculate the properfes of any substance comprising individual molecules with classical stafsfcs Example of Markov Chain Monte Carlo method. Extremely useful algorithmic technique

15 Classical Glauber Dynamics A stochasfc map R = e G is a Glauber dynamics for a (classical) Hamiltonian if it s generator G is local and the unique fixed point of R is e - βh /Z(β) (+ detailed balance) Ex: Metropolis, Heat- bath generator,.

When is Glauber dynamics effecfve for sampling from Gibbs state? (Stroock, Zergalinski 92; MarFnelli, Olivieri 94, ) Gibbs state with finite correlafon length (Sly 10) Rapidly mixing Glauber dynamics (Proved only for hard core mode and 2- spin anf- ferromagefc model) Gibbs Sampling in P (vs NP - hard)

21 Temporal Mixing vs Spa6al Mixing (Stroock, Zergalinski 92; MarFnelli, Olivieri 94, ) For every classical Hamiltonian, the Gibbs state has finite correla6on length if, and only if, the Glauber dynamics has a finite gap

22 Temporal Mixing vs Spa6al Mixing (Stroock, Zergalinski 92; MarFnelli, Olivieri 94, ) For every classical Hamiltonian, the Gibbs state has finite correla6on length if, and only if, the Glauber dynamics has a finite gap Obs1: Same is true for the log- Sobolev constant of the system Obs2: For many models, when correlafon length diverges, gap is exponenfally small in the system size (e.g. Ising model) Obs3: Any model in 1D, and any model in arbitrary dim. at high enough temperature, has a finite correlafon length (connected to uniqueness of the phase, e.g. Dobrushin s condifon)

23 Temporal Mixing vs Spa6al Mixing (Stroock, Zergalinski 92; MarFnelli, Olivieri 94, ) For every classical Hamiltonian, the Gibbs state has finite correla6on length if, and only if, the Glauber dynamics has a finite gap Obs1: Same is true for the log- Sobolev constant of the system Obs2: For many models, when correlafon length diverges, gap is exponenfally small in the system size (e.g. Ising model) Obs3: Any model in 1D, and any model in arbitrary dim. at high enough temperature, has a finite correlafon length (connected to uniqueness of the phase, e.g. Dobrushin s condifon) Does something similar hold in the quantum case? 1 st step: Need a quantum version of Glauber dynamics

Determined by gap of of Lindbladian

28 Davies Maps (aka Quantum Glauber Dynamics) Lindbladian: L( ) = X g (!) S (!) [,S (!)] + e! S (!)[,S (!) ]+h.c.,!>0 Lindblad terms: g (!) : spectral density Z S (!) = e i!t e ith S e ith dt S (!) k,l = (E k E l!)he k S E l i

29 Davies Maps (aka Quantum Glauber Dynamics) Lindbladian: L( ) = X g (!) S (!) [,S (!)] + e! S (!)[,S (!) ]+h.c.,!>0 Lindblad terms: g (!) : spectral density Z S (!) = e i!t e ith S e ith dt S (!) k,l = (E k E l!)he k S E l i H ij H = P hi,ji H ij S α (X α, Y α, Z α ) Thermal state is the unique fixed point: L( )=0 (safsfies q. detailed balance: L = L, (X) := 1/2 X 1/2 )

30 Why Davies Maps? (Davies 74) Rigorous derivafon in the weak- coupling limit: H SB = InteracFng Ham. X S B Coarse grain over Fme t λ - 2 >> max(1/ (E i E j + E k - E l )) (E i : eigenvalues of H)

31 Why Davies Maps? (Davies 74) Rigorous derivafon in the weak- coupling limit: H SB = InteracFng Ham. X S B Coarse grain over Fme t λ - 2 >> max(1/ (E i E j + E k - E l )) (E i : eigenvalues of H) But: for n spin Hamiltonian H: max(1/ (E i E j + E k - E l )) = exp(o(n)) Consequence: S α (ω) are non- local (act on n qubits); S (!) = Z e i!t e ith S e ith dt But for commu6ng Hamiltonian H, it is local Z S (!) = e i!t e ) S e ) dt

32 Spectral Gap The relevant gap is given by (L) :=inf f hf,l(f)i var (f) L 2 weighted inner product: hf,gi := tr( 1/2 f 1/2 g ) Variance: var := hf,fi tr( f) 2 (Kastoryano, Temme 11, ) Mixing Fme of order ke tl ( ) n (L)T k 1 apple 2 2n/T e (L)t

33 Previous Results (Alicki, Fannes, Horodecki 08) Λ = Ω(1) for 2D toric code (Alicki, Horodecki, Horodecki, Horodecki 08) Λ = exp(- Ω(n)) for 4D toric code (Temme 14) Λ > exp(- βε)/n, with ε the energy barrier, for stabilizer Hamiltonians

34 Equivalence of Clustering in Space and Time for Quantum Commu6ng thm For commufng Hamiltonians in a finite dimensional la`ce, the Davies generator has a constant gap if, and only if, the Gibbs state safsfies strong clustering of correla6ons (Kastoryano, B )

35 Equivalence of Clustering in Space and Time for Quantum Commu6ng thm For commufng Hamiltonians in a finite dimensional la`ce, the Davies generator has a constant gap if, and only if, the Gibbs state safsfies strong clustering of correla6ons Strong Clustering holds true in: 1D at any temperature Any D at sufficiently high temperature (crifcal T determined only by dim and interacfon range)

36 Equivalence of Clustering in Space and Time for Quantum Commu6ng thm For commufng Hamiltonians in a finite dimensional la`ce, the Davies generator has a constant gap if, and only if, the Gibbs state safsfies strong clustering of correla6ons Strong Clustering holds true in: 1D at any temperature Any D at sufficiently high temperature (crifcal T determined only by dim and interacfon range) Gives first polynomial- Fme quantum algorithm for preparing Gibbs states of commufng models at high temperature. Caveat: At high temperature cluster expansion works well for compufng local expectafon values. (Open: How the two threshold T s compare?) Q advantage: we get the full Gibbs state (e.g. could perform swap test of purificafons of two Gibbs states. Good for anything?)

37 Strong Clustering [ B) B def: Strong clustering holds if there is ξ>0 s.t. for every A and B and operator f acfng on A [ B [ (@(A [ B)) apple cov A[B (E A (f), E B (f)) hf,fi e d(ac,b c )/ Condi6onal Covariance: cov X (f,g) := hf E X (f),g E X (g)i Condi6onal Expecta6on: X c : complement of X E X (f) := lim t!1 e tl X (f) L X := X k2x L k d(x, Y) : distance between regions X and Y

38 Strong Clustering [ B) B def: Strong clustering holds if there is ξ>0 s.t. for every A and B and operator f acfng on A [ B [ (@(A [ B)) apple cov A[B (E A (f), E B (f)) hf,fi e d(ac,b c )/ Fact: E X (f) =I X f X c Strong clustering follows if for every f, g in AUB and M>0 [ B) cov(f,g) M apple e d(f,g)/ with tr (A[B) c(m I A[B ) tr(m I A[B ) condifonal state given M on boundary.

39 Strong Clustering - > Gap We show that under the clustering condifon: (A [ B) & min( (A), (B)) A B Ge`ng: (V ) & (V 0 ) V : enfre la`ce V 0 : subla`ce of size O(ξ) Follows idea of a proof of the classical analogue for Glauber dynamics (BerFni et al 00) Key lemma: If cov A[B (E A (f), E B (f)) apple "var A[B (f) var A[B (f) apple (1 2") 1 (var A (f) + var B (f)) then

40 Gap - > Strong Clustering Employs the following mapping between Liouvillians for commufng Hamiltonians and local Hamiltonians on a larger space: ˆL := 1/4 L( 1/4 f 1/4 ) 1/4 Apply the detectability lemma (Aharonov et al 10) to prove gap - > strong clustering (strengthening proof previous proof that gap - > clustering)

44 Non- Commu6ng Hamiltonians? Davies Master EquaFon is Non- Local Beyond master equa6ons: def: Hamiltonian H safsfies local indisfnguishability (LI) if for every A B tr B c(e H/T /Z(T )) tr B c(e H A/T /Z A (T )) thm Suppose H (local Ham in d dim) safsfies LI and for every region A, 1 apple e d(a,bc )/ l I(A : B l ) I(A : B l+1 ) e cl A B l Then e - H/T /Z(T) can be created by a quantum circuit of size exp(o(log d (n))) When is the condifon on mutual informafon true?
