Teleportation based detection of quantum critical points using small spin chains

Abstract

We show for the models here investigated that the teleportation based quantum critical point (QCP) detectors can properly estimate the locations of the QCPs when we are not even close to the thermodynamic limit (infinite spin chains) and when we only have access to finite temperature data. Specifically, by working with spin chains with about ten qubits and in equilibrium with a thermal reservoir at temperature T, we show that it is possible to locate with an error of only a few percents the correct spots of the QCPs for almost all the models studied here. The spin chains we investigate are given by the XXZ model with or without an external longitudinal magnetic field as well as the XX model, the XY model, and the Ising model, all of them subjected to an external transverse magnetic field.
