Quantum information analysis of quantum phase transitions in a
one-dimensional V1-V2 hard-core-boson model
   [PDF]

Jie Ren, Xuefen Xu, Liping Gu, Jialiang Li
The entanglement entropy and quantum fidelity in a hard-core-boson model with nearest- and next-nearest-neighbor interactions are studied numerically. By using exact diagonalization and the density matrix renormalization group, the effects of interactions on entanglement entropy and fidelity susceptibility in the model are investigated. We focus our attention on looking for three quantum phase transitions. It is found that the first derivative of the entanglement entropy can indicate all of three phase transitions, while the fidelity susceptibility cannot predict the transition from superfluid to bond-order in a finite-size system.
