Universality in the tripartite information after global quenches: spin flip and semilocal charges

TL;DR

This paper investigates how global quenches in quantum spin models with semilocal conserved charges affect stationary states, revealing universal behavior of tripartite information linked to correlation decay types.

Contribution

It demonstrates the universal dependency of tripartite information on the cross ratio in stationary states with algebraic correlations after global quenches.

Findings

Algebraic decay of correlations leads to non-zero tripartite information.

Exponential decay results in vanishing tripartite information.

Universal behavior depends on the correlation decay type.

Abstract

We study stationary states emerging after global quenches in which the time evolution is under local Hamiltonians that possess semilocal conserved operators. In particular, we study a model that is dual to quantum XY chain. We show that a localized perturbation in the initial state can turn an exponential decay of spatial correlations in the stationary state into an algebraic decay. We investigate the consequences on the behavior of the (R\'enyi-$\alpha$) entanglement entropies, focusing on the tripartite information of three adjacent subsystems. In the limit of large subsystems, we show that in the stationary state with the algebraic decay of correlations the tripartite information exhibits a non-zero value with a universal dependency on the cross ratio, while it vanishes in the stationary state with the exponential decay of correlations.
