Topological disentangler for the valence-bond-solid chain

arXiv:1011.3277 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.83.104411

Abstract

We discuss topological disentangler for S=1 quantum spin chains in the Haldane phase. We first point out that Kennedy-Tasaki's(KT) nonlocal unitary transformation is the perfect disentangler for Affleck-Kennedy-Lieb-Tasaki model. We then demonstrate that the KT transformation can be reconstructed as an assembly of pair disentanglers. Finally, we show that the KT transformation can be regarded as a topological disentangler, which selectively disentangles the double-fold degeneracy in the entanglement spectrum of the S=1 Heisenberg chain.
