Topological quantum phase transitions in exact two-dimensional isometric tensor networks — •Yu-Jie Liu1, Kirill Shtengel2, and Frank Pollmann1 — 1Technical University of Munich — 2University of California, Riverside
Isometric tensor networks (isoTNS) form a subclass of tensor network states that have an additional isometric condition, which implies that they can be efficiently prepared with a linear-depth quantum circuit. In this work, we introduce a procedure to construct isoTNS encoding of certain 2D classical partition functions. By continuously tuning a parameter in the isoTNS, the many-body ground state undergoes quantum phase transitions, exhibiting distinct 2D topological order. We illustrate this by constructing an isoTNS path with bond dimension D = 2 interpolating between distinct symmetry-enriched topological (SET) phases. At the transition point, the isoTNS wavefunction is related to a gapless point in the classical six-vertex model and can be interpreted as a superposition of world lines of random walking particles. The critical wavefunction supports a power-law correlation along one spatial direction while remains long-range ordered in the other spatial direction. We provide an exact linear-depth parametrized local quantum circuit that realizes the path. The above features can therefore be efficiently realized on a programmable quantum device. At the end, we briefly discuss the possibility of isoTNS paths interpolating between other 2D topological phases.
