Universal scaling of spatially extended zero modes in inhomogeneous SSH chains
Gilles Parez, Nicolas Crampé, Quentin Labriet +2
Protected zero modes are a hallmark of topological phases of matter and are exponentially localized at sharp interfaces between distinct gapped phases. We investigate how this pict…
Inhomogeneous SSH models and the doubling of orthogonal polynomials
Nicolas Crampé, Quentin Labriet, Lucia Morey +2
We analyze Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) models using the doubling method for orthogonal polynomial sequences. This approach yields the analytical spectrum and exact eigenstates of th…
Entanglement Hamiltonian and orthogonal polynomials
Pierre-Antoine Bernard, Riccarda Bonsignori, Viktor Eisler +2
We study the entanglement Hamiltonian for free-fermion chains with a particular form of inhomogeneity. The hopping amplitudes and chemical potentials are chosen such that the singl…
Entanglement of Inhomogeneous Free Bosons and Orthogonal Polynomials
Pierre-Antoine Bernard, Rafael I. Nepomechie, Gilles Parez +3
In this paper, we investigate the ground-state entanglement entropy in inhomogeneous free-boson models in one spatial dimension. We develop a powerful method to extract the leading…
Distinctive features of inhomogeneous spin chains
Pierre-Antoine Bernard, Gilles Parez, Luc Vinet
This review presents recent developments in the study of inhomogeneous XX spin chains, highlighting results on perfect state transfer, out-of-equilibrium stationary dynamics in ope…
Fermionic logarithmic negativity in the Krawtchouk chain
Gabrielle Blanchet, Gilles Parez, Luc Vinet
The entanglement of non-complementary regions is investigated in an inhomogeneous free-fermion chain through the lens of the fermionic logarithmic negativity. Focus is on the Krawt…
