【 摘 要 】

We study the angular-time evolution that is a parameter-time evolution defined by the entanglement Hamil-tonian for the bipartitioned ground state of the Affleck-Kennedy-Lieb-Tasaki (AKLT) chain with an open boundary. In particular, we analytically calculate angular-time spin correlation functions (Sn alpha(tau)Sn alpha(0)) with alpha = x, y, z using the matrix-product-state (MPS) representation of the valence-bond-solid state with edges. We also investigate how the angular-time evolution operator can be represented in the physical spin space with the use of gauge transformation for the MPS. We then discuss the physical interpretation of the angular-time evolution in the AKLT chain.
