The Magnetic Maze: A System With Tunable Scale Invariance
Tian-Gang Zhou, Michael Winer, Brian Swingle
Random magnetic field configurations are ubiquitous in nature. Such fields lead to a variety of dynamical phenomena, including localization and glassy physics in some condensed mat…
Neural Networks as Spin Models: From Glass to Hidden Order Through Training
Richard Barney, Michael Winer, Victor Galitski
We explore a one-to-one correspondence between a neural network (NN) and a statistical mechanical spin model where neurons are mapped to Ising spins and weights to spin-spin coupli…
The Glass Transition of Quantum Hard Spheres in High Dimensions
Michael Winer, Christopher L. Baldwin, Richard Barney +2
We study the equilibrium thermodynamics of quantum hard spheres in the infinite-dimensional limit, determining the boundary between liquid and glass phases in the temperature-densi…
A Bosonic Model of Quantum Holography
Brian Swingle, Michael Winer
We analyze a model of qubits which we argue has an emergent quantum gravitational description similar to the fermionic Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model. The model we consider is known…
Reappearance of Thermalization Dynamics in the Late-Time Spectral Form Factor
Michael Winer, Brian Swingle
The spectral form factor (SFF) is an important diagnostic of energy level repulsion in random matrix theory (RMT) and quantum chaos. The short-time behavior of the SFF as it approa…
Spectral statistics of a minimal quantum glass model
Richard Barney, Michael Winer, Christopher L. Baldwin +2
Glasses have the interesting feature of being neither integrable nor fully chaotic. They thermalize quickly within a subspace but thermalize much more slowly across the full space…
Emergent Spectral Form Factors in Sonic Systems
Michael Winer, Brian Swingle
We study the spectral form factor (SFF) for hydrodynamic systems with a sound pole, a large class including any fluid with momentum conservation and energy conservation, or any ext…
The Loschmidt Spectral Form Factor
Michael Winer, Brian Swingle
The Spectral Form Factor (SFF) measures the fluctuations in the density of states of a Hamiltonian. We consider a generalization of the SFF called the Loschmidt Spectral Form Facto…
Spectral Form Factor of a Quantum Spin Glass
Michael Winer, Richard Barney, Christopher L. Baldwin +2
It is widely expected that systems which fully thermalize are chaotic in the sense of exhibiting random-matrix statistics of their energy level spacings, whereas integrable systems…
Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking, Spectral Statistics, and the Ramp
Michael Winer, Brian Swingle
Ensembles of quantum chaotic systems are expected to exhibit energy eigenvalues with random-matrix-like level repulsion between pairs of energies separated by less than the inverse…
Hydrodynamic Theory of the Connected Spectral Form Factor
Michael Winer, Brian Swingle
One manifestation of quantum chaos is a random-matrix-like fine-grained energy spectrum. Prior to the inverse level spacing time, random matrix theory predicts a `ramp' of increasi…
An exponential ramp in the quadratic Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model
Michael Winer, Shao-Kai Jian, Brian Swingle
A long period of linear growth in the spectral form factor provides a universal diagnostic of quantum chaos at intermediate times. By contrast, the behavior of the spectral form fa…
Observation of relativistic corrections to Moseley's law at high atomic number
Duncan C. Wheeler, Emma Bingham, Michael Winer +2
Transitions between low-lying electron states in atoms of heavy elements lead to electromagnetic radiation with discrete energies between about 0.1~keV and 100~keV (x rays) that ar…
