Abstract:
Fidelity mechanics, a scheme to investigate critical phenomena in quantum
many-body physics, is formulated as an analogue of four laws in
thermodynamics and black hole mechanics, thus unveiling a formal connection
between critical points and black holes.
Rich physics is unveiled even for simple, or say, prototypical models in
quantum many-body systems, such as one-dimensional quantum XY model and
quantum transverse Ising chain in a longitudinal field. This enables us to
clarify a confusing point for the so-called long-range entanglement driven
order. The latter is believed to be present in the disordered regime for
quantum XY chain.
Fidelity mechanics might also offer an alternative solution to other
mysterious problems in physics, including its cosmological implications for
the interpretation of dark matter and dark energy.
