Unitary-projective entanglement dynamics
Amos Chan, Rahul M. Nandkishore, Michael Pretko +1
Starting from a state of low quantum entanglement, local unitary time evolution increases the entanglement of a quantum many-body system. In contrast, local projective measurements…
Symmetry Enriched Fracton Phases from Supersolid Duality
Michael Pretko, Leo Radzihovsky
Motivated by the recently established duality between elasticity of crystals and a fracton tensor gauge theory, we combine it with boson-vortex duality, to explicitly account for b…
The Fracton Gauge Principle
Michael Pretko
A powerful mechanism for constructing gauge theories is to start from a theory with a global symmetry, then apply the "gauge principle," which demands that this symmetry hold local…
Localization in fractonic random circuits
Shriya Pai, Michael Pretko, Rahul M. Nandkishore
We study the spreading of initially-local operators under unitary time evolution in a 1d random quantum circuit model which is constrained to conserve a charge and its dipol…
Symmetric Tensor Gauge Theories on Curved Spaces
Kevin Slagle, Abhinav Prem, Michael Pretko
Fractons and other subdimensional particles are an exotic class of emergent quasi-particle excitations with severely restricted mobility. A wide class of models featuring these qua…
Pinch Point Singularities of Tensor Spin Liquids
Abhinav Prem, Sagar Vijay, Yang-Zhi Chou +2
Recently, a new class of three-dimensional spin liquid models have been theoretically discovered, which feature generalized Coulomb phases of emergent symmetric tensor gauge…
