Criticality on Rényi defects at (2+1) O(3) quantum critical points
Yanzhang Zhu, Zhe Wang, Meng Cheng +1
The paper uses large-scale quantum Monte Carlo simulations to study Rényi defect lines at (2+1)d O(3) quantum critical points, revealing multiple defect universality classes (ordin…
Mixed-State Phase Transitions in Measurement-Dressed Imaginary-Time Evolution
Yi-Ming Ding, Zenan Liu, Xu Tian +3
The paper introduces measurement-dressed imaginary-time evolution (MDITE), which interleaves imaginary-time filtering with local projective measurements, and studies how this compe…
Logarithmic corrections to bulk and surface criticality in a three-dimensional quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnet
Xuyang Liang, Xiao-Chuan Wu, Zenan Liu +3
The paper investigates how marginally irrelevant interactions produce logarithmic corrections to scaling at the bulk upper critical dimension of a three‑dimensional quantum Heisenb…
Spontaneous continuous-symmetry breaking and tower of states in a comb chain
Jingya Wang, Zenan Liu, Bin-Bin Mao +4
Based on the study of a one-dimensional (1D) antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on a comb lattice, this work identifies an example of spontaneous continuous symmetry breaking in a…
Boundary Renormalization Group Flow of Entanglement Entropy at a (2+1)-Dimensional Quantum Critical Point
Zhiyan Wang, Zhe Wang, Yi-Ming Ding +3
We investigate the second-order Rényi entanglement entropy at the quantum critical point of a spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on a columnar dimerized square lattice. T…
Worldline deconfinement and emergent long-range interaction in the entanglement Hamiltonian and in the entanglement spectrum
Zenan Liu, Zhe Wang, Dao-Xin Yao +1
The entanglement spectrum (ES) is a powerful tool for probing topological phases. While its behavior in gapped systems is well understood, its properties in gapless regimes remain…
