Reduced fidelity susceptibility and its finite-size scaling behaviors

arXiv:0805.4062 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.78.051126

Abstract

We derive a general formula of the reduced fidelity susceptibility when the reduced density matrix is block-diagonal. By using this result and the continuous unitary transformations, we study finite-size scaling of the reduced fidelity susceptibility in the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick Model. It is found that it can be used to characterize quantum phase transitions, implying that we can extract information of quantum phase transitions only from the fidelity of a subsystem, which is of practical meaning in experiments.
