Mixed s-sourcery: Building many-body states using bubbles of Nothing
Brian Swingle, John McGreevy
In arXiv:1407.8203, we introduced the idea of s-sourcery, a general formalism for building many-body quantum ground states using renormalization-group-inspired quantum circuits. He…
Viewpoint: duality for fermionic vortices
John McGreevy
This is a version (less professional editing, more details and jokes) of an APS Physics Viewpoint about three recent papers extending charge-vortex duality to fermionic vortices.
TASI lectures on quantum matter (with a view toward holographic duality)
John McGreevy
These are notes from my lectures at TASI 2015. The goal is to provide context for the study of strongly-correlated quantum many-body systems using quantum field theory, and possibl…
Renormalization Group Circuits for Gapless States
Brian Swingle, John McGreevy, Shenglong Xu
We show that a large class of gapless states are renormalization group fixed points in the sense that they can be grown scale by scale using local unitaries. This class of examples…
