Construction of Entangled Many-body States via the Higgs Mechanism

arXiv:2201.06585 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.107.054401

Abstract

We provide a guiding principle to generate entanglement of quantum many-body states by applying key ideas of the Higgs mechanism to systems without gauge structures. Unitary operators associated with the Higgs mechanism are constructed, named as mean-operators, and employed to prepare entangled many-body states out of a trivial state. We uncover a symmetry-protectedtopological state with two Ising symmetries on a square lattice and find entangled states with different symmetries and lattices. Plausible applications to quantum simulators such as Rydberg atoms and trapped ions, are also discussed, interpreting the mean-operators as the Ising coupling gates.
