Holographic encoding of universality in corner spectra

Abstract

In numerical simulations of classical and quantum lattice systems, 2d corner transfer matrices (CTMs) and 3d corner tensors (CTs) are a useful tool to compute approximate contractions of infinite-size tensor networks. In this paper we show how the numerical CTMs and CTs can be used, {\it additionally\/}, to extract universal information from their spectra. We provide examples of this for classical and quantum systems, in 1d, 2d and 3d. Our results provide, in particular, practical evidence for a wide variety of models of the correspondence between $d$-dimensional quantum and $(d+1)$-dimensional classical spin systems. We show also how corner properties can be used to pinpoint quantum phase transitions, topological or not, without the need for observables. Moreover, for a chiral topological PEPS we show by examples that corner tensors can be used to extract the entanglement spectrum of half a system, with the expected symmetries of the $SU(2{)}_k$ Wess-Zumino-Witten model describing its gapless edge for $k=1,2$. We also review the theory behind the quantum-classical correspondence for spin systems, and provide a new numerical scheme for quantum state renormalization in 2d using CTs. Our results show that bulk information of a lattice system is encoded holographically in efficiently-computable properties of its corners.
