Resonances in a periodically driven bosonic system

Anton Quelle, Cristiane Morais Smith

Periodically driven systems are a common topic in modern physics. In optical lattices specifically, driving is at the origin of many interesting phenomena. However, energy is not c…

Staircase to Higher-Order Topological Phase Transitions

P. Cats, A. Quelle, O. Viyuela +2

We find a series of topological phase transitions of increasing order, beyond the more standard second-order phase transition in a one-dimensional topological superconductor. The j…

Quantum quench in the attractive regime of the sine-Gordon model

Axel Cortés Cubero, Dirk Schuricht

We study the dynamics of the sine-Gordon model after a quantum quench into the attractive regime, where the spectrum consists of solitons, antisolitons and breathers. In particular…

Time evolution of effective central charge and signatures of RG irreversibility after a quantum quench

Axel Cortés Cubero

At thermal equilibrium, the concept of effective central charge for massive deformations of two-dimensional conformal field theories (CFT) is well understood, and can be defined by…

Thermal response of a Fermi-Pasta-Ulam chain with Andersen thermostats

Federico D'Ambrosio, Marco Baiesi

The linear response to temperature variations is well characterised for equilibrium systems but a similar theory is not available, for example, for inertial heat conducting systems…

Quantum Fluctuations of Entropy Production for Fermionic Systems in Landauer-Buttiker State

Mihail Mintchev, Luca Santoni, Paul Sorba

The quantum fluctuations of the entropy production for fermionic systems in the Landauer-Buttiker non-equilibrium steady state are investigated. The probability distribution, gover…

When memory pays: Discord in hidden Markov models

Emma Lathouwers, John Bechhoefer

When is keeping a memory of observations worthwhile? We use hidden Markov models to look at phase transitions that emerge when comparing state estimates in systems with discrete st…

Exact enumeration of self-avoiding walks on BCC and FCC lattices

Raoul D. Schram, Gerard T. Barkema, Rob H. Bisseling +1

Self-avoiding walks on the body-centered-cubic (BCC) and face-centered-cubic (FCC) lattices are enumerated up to lengths 28 and 24, respectively, using the length-doubling method.…
