We introduce a general renormalization-group transformation for quantum states, applicable beyond specific Hamiltonian dynamics. This method classifies various quantum states as fixed points of coarse-graining, revealing new insights into quantum state structures.

Area of Science:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Condensed matter physics
  • Quantum information theory

Background:

  • Renormalization group (RG) transformations are crucial for understanding systems at different scales.
  • Existing RG methods often rely on specific Hamiltonian dynamics.
  • A general framework for RG on quantum states is needed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a general renormalization-group transformation applicable to quantum states.
  • To classify different quantum states based on their behavior under this transformation.
  • To explore the fixed points of this coarse-graining procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Constructing a general renormalization-group transformation independent of Hamiltonian dynamics.
  • Applying the transformation to one-dimensional translational invariant matrix product states.

    • Main Results:

    • Demonstrated a universal RG transformation for quantum states.
    • Identified product, GHZ, W, and domain wall states as special cases.
    • Revealed an emerging classification of quantum states based on RG fixed points.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed RG transformation provides a unified framework for studying quantum states.
    • This approach offers new perspectives on quantum state classification and properties.
    • The fixed points of the coarse-graining transformation reveal fundamental structures of quantum states.
