Holographic Duals of Inhomogeneous Systems: The Rainbow Chain and the Sine-Square Deformation Model
Ian MacCormack, Aike Liu, Masahiro Nozaki +1
A holographic dual description of inhomogeneous systems is discussed. Notably, finite temperature results for the entanglement entropy in both the rainbow chain and the SSD model a…

Quantum adiabatic optimization without heuristics
Michael Jarret, Brad Lackey, Aike Liu +1
Quantum adiabatic optimization (QAO) is performed using a time-dependent Hamiltonian with spectral gap . Assuming the existence of an oracle such that $γ_\min = Θ\…

Anisotropic Massive Gauge-flation
Peter Adshead, Aike Liu
We study anisotropic inflationary solutions in massive Gauge-flation. We work with the theory in both the Stueckelberg and dynamical symmetry-breaking limits and demonstrate that e…
