Friction Anomalies at First-Order Transition Spinodals: 1T-TaS
Emanuele Panizon, Torben Marx, Dirk Dietzel +4
Revealing phase transitions of solids through mechanical anomalies in the friction of nanotips sliding on their surfaces is an unconventional and instructive tool for continuous tr…
Non-adiabatic breaking of topological pumping
Lorenzo Privitera, Angelo Russomanno, Roberta Citro +1
We study Thouless pumping out of the adiabatic limit. Our findings show that despite its topological nature, this phenomenon is not {generically} robust to non-adiabatic effects. I…
Quantum Lubricity
Tommaso Zanca, Franco Pellegrini, Giuseppe E. Santoro +1
The quantum motion of nuclei, generally ignored in sliding friction, can become important for an atom, ion, or light molecule sliding in an optical lattice. The density-matrix-calc…
Topological phases in odd-legs frustrated synthetic ladders
S. Barbarino, M. Dalmonte, R. Fazio +1
The realization of the Hofstadter model in a strongly anisotropic ladder geometry has now become possible in one-dimensional optical lattices with a synthetic dimension. In this wo…
Direct comparison of quantum and simulated annealing on a fully-connected Ising ferromagnet
Matteo M. Wauters, Rosario Fazio, Hidetoshi Nishimori +1
We compare the performance of quantum annealing (QA, through Schrödinger dynamics) and simulated annealing (SA, through a classical master equation) on the -spin infinite range…
Floquet resonances close to the adiabatic limit and the effect of dissipation
Angelo Russomanno, Giuseppe E. Santoro
We study the approach to the adiabatic limit in periodically driven systems. Specifically focusing on a spin-1/2 in a magnetic field we find that, when the parameters of the Hamilt…
