Slow dynamics of the Fredkin spin chain
Khagendra Adhikari, K. S. D. Beach
The dynamical behavior of a quantum many-particle system is characterized by the lifetime of its excitations. When the system is perturbed, observables of any non-conserved quantit…
Tunable quantum spin chain with three-body interactions
Khagendra Adhikari, K. S. D. Beach
We introduce a generalization of the Fredkin spin chain with tunable three-body interactions expressed in terms of conventional spin-half operators. Of the model's two free paramet…
Effective interactions between local hopping modulations on the square lattice
Huu T. Do, Khagendra Adhikari, K. S. D. Beach
We address the problem of free fermions interacting with frozen gauge fields. In particular, we consider a tight-binding model of fermions on the square lattice in which (i) flux 0…
Deforming the Fredkin spin chain away from its frustration-free point
Khagendra Adhikari, K. S. D. Beach
The Fredkin model describes a spin-half chain segment subject to three-body, correlated-exchange interactions and twisted boundary conditions. The model is frustration-free, and it…
