A mean-field description of strong-to-weak symmetry breaking in the monitored Bose-Hubbard model

Yicheng Tang, Pradip Kattel, J. H. Pixley

Strong-to-weak spontaneous symmetry breaking has emerged as a novel form of ordering in monitored and open quantum systems, yet its characterization has so far primarily relied on…

Measurement and feedback-driven adaptive dynamics in the classical and quantum kicked top

Mahaveer Prasad, Ahana Chakraborty, Thomas Iadecola +4

In classical dynamical systems, stochastic feedback can stabilize otherwise unstable periodic orbits, giving rise to distinct controlled and uncontrolled phases as the rate of cont…

Pruning-induced phases in fully-connected neural networks: the eumentia, the dementia, and the amentia

Haining Pan, Nakul Aggarwal, J. H. Pixley

Modern neural networks are heavily overparameterized, and pruning, which removes redundant neurons or connections, has emerged as a key approach to compressing them without sacrifi…

Moiré-induced gapped phases in twisted nodal superconductors

Kevin P. Lucht, J. H. Pixley, Pavel A. Volkov

We demonstrate the emergence of gapped phases driven by the moiré superlattice that trivialize the topological states in twisted nodal superconductors. The effect arises from umkla…

Classical Simulations of Low Magic Quantum Dynamics

Kemal Aziz, Haining Pan, Michael J. Gullans +1

We develop classical simulation algorithms for adaptive quantum circuits that produce states with low levels of ``magic'' (i.e., non-stabilizerness). These algorithms are particula…

Quantum geometric photocurrents of quasiparticles in superconductors

Daniel Kaplan, Kevin P. Lucht, Pavel A. Volkov +1

Nonlinear optical response is a sensitive probe of the geometry and symmetry of electronic Bloch states in solids. Here, we extend this notion to the Bogoliubiov-de-Gennes (BdG) qu…
