Rényi free energy and variational approximations to thermal states
Giacomo Giudice, Aslı Çakan, J. Ignacio Cirac +1
We propose the construction of thermodynamic ensembles that minimize the Rényi free energy, as an alternative to Gibbs states. For large systems, the local properties of these Rény…
Quantum East model: localization, non-thermal eigenstates and slow dynamics
Nicola Pancotti, Giacomo Giudice, J. Ignacio Cirac +2
We study in detail the properties of the quantum East model, an interacting quantum spin chain inspired by simple kinetically-constrained models of classical glasses. Through a com…
Diagnosing Potts criticality and two-stage melting in one-dimensional hard-boson models
Giuliano Giudici, Adriano Angelone, Giuseppe Magnifico +4
We investigate a model of hard-core bosons with infinitely repulsive nearest- and next-nearest-neighbor interactions in one dimension, introduced by Fendley, Sengupta and Sachdev i…
