Ground-state energy distribution of disordered many-body quantum systems
arXiv:2205.09771 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.106.054144
Abstract
Extreme-value distributions are studied in the context of a broad range of problems, from the equilibrium properties of low-temperature disordered systems to the occurrence of natural disasters. Our focus here is on the ground-state energy distribution of disordered many-body quantum systems. We derive an analytical expression that, upon tuning a parameter, reproduces with high accuracy the ground-state energy distribution of the systems that we consider. For some models, it agrees with the Tracy-Widom distribution obtained from Gaussian random matrices. They include transverse Ising models, the Sachdev-Ye model, and a randomized version of the PXP model. For other systems, such as Bose-Hubbard models with random couplings and the disordered spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain used to investigate many-body localization, the shapes are at odds with the Tracy-Widom distribution. Our analytical expression captures all of these distributions, thus playing a role to the lowest energy level similar to that played by the Brody distribution to the bulk of the spectrum.
