Saddles-to-minima topological crossover and glassiness in the Rubik's Cube
Alex Gower, Oliver Hart, Claudio Castelnovo
Slow relaxation and glassiness have been the focus of extensive research attention, along with popular and technological interest, for many decades. While much understanding has be…
Towards absolutely stable ergodicity breaking in two and three dimensions
Charles Stahl, Oliver Hart, Rahul Nandkishore
We propose new physically reasonable systems capable of avoiding ergodicity at infinite time in the thermodynamic limit, even with generic perturbations and when coupled to a heat…
Coherent propagation of quasiparticles in topological spin liquids at finite temperature
Oliver Hart, Yuan Wan, Claudio Castelnovo
The appearance of quasiparticle excitations with fractional statistics is a remarkable defining trait of topologically ordered systems. In this work, we investigate the experimenta…
Steady-state superconductivity in electronic materials with repulsive interactions
Oliver Hart, Garry Goldstein, Claudio Chamon +1
We study the effect of laser driving on a minimal model for a hexagonal two-dimensional material with broken inversion symmetry. Through the application of circularly polarised lig…
