Information geometry of non-equilibrium quantum states: Mixed metric structures on an extended information manifold
Abstract
We discuss an information-geometric framework for characterizing quantum states in non-equilibrium dynamics. Using the transverse-field Ising chain model as a laboratory, we investigate the quantum Fisher information metric with particular emphasis on the mixed metric component ght and related geometric observables, where h is a controllable post-quench Hamiltonian parameter and t is real time. The framework treats h and t as coordinates of an extended information manifold (h,t). The geometric observables characterize the speed of evolution on the manifold and the alignment between the temporal and parameter-deformation directions. Correlations between these geometric quantities and two widely used measures of non-equilibrium dynamics, the entanglement entropy and the Loschmidt echo, are analyzed.
