Interplay between aging and rejuvenation in spin glasses

Abstract

Aging in a single-crystal spin glass (Cu 0.92 ⁒Mn 0.08 ) has been measured using ac susceptibility techniques over a temperature range of 0.3–0.8𝑇 𝑔 . In these studies, traditional aging experiments (or β€œquench” aging protocols) are compared to aging curves constructed from finite-cooling-rate curves. By comparing the growth rates of spin glass order between the two types of aging curves, it is determined that quantitative comparisons between protocols that are taken by quenching and protocols using a finite cooling rate are not possible without a deeper understanding of the interplay between aging and rejuvenation. Finally, we then demonstrate that the data presented indicate that rejuvenation, rather than cumulative aging, is the cause of the discrepancies between the two growth rates.

Sharp Page transitions in generic Hamiltonian dynamics

Here, we consider the entanglement dynamics of a subsystem initialized in a pure state at high energy density (corresponding to negative temperature) and coupled to a cold bath. The subsystem's RΓ©nyi entropies 𝑆 𝛼 first rise as the subsystem gets entangled with the bath and then fall as the subsystem cools. We find that the peak of the min-entropy, lim π›Όβ†’βˆž ⁑𝑆 𝛼 , sharpens to a cusp in the thermodynamic limit at a well-defined time we call the Page time. We construct a hydrodynamic ansatz for the evolution of the entanglement Hamiltonian, which accounts for the sharp Page transition as well as the intricate dynamics of the entanglement spectrum before the Page time. Our results hold both when the bath has the same Hamiltonian as the system and when the bath is taken to be Markovian. Our ansatz suggests conditions under which the Page transition should remain sharp even for RΓ©nyi entropies of finite index 𝛼.
