Quantum Slow Relaxation and Metastability due to Dynamical Constraints
Zhihao Lan, Merlijn van Horssen, Stephen Powell +1
One of the general mechanisms that give rise to the slow cooperative relaxation characteristic of classical glasses is the presence of kinetic constraints in the dynamics. Here we…

Eigenstate thermalization hypothesis in quantum dimer models
Zhihao Lan, Stephen Powell
We use exact diagonalization to study the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) in the quantum dimer model on the square and triangular lattices. Due to the nonergodicity of t…

Mean-field theory for confinement transitions and magnetization plateaux in spin ice
Stephen Powell
We study phase transitions in classical spin ice at nonzero magnetization, by introducing a mean-field theory designed to capture the interplay between confinement and topological…
