Absence of a Direct Superfluid to Mott Insulator Transition in Disordered Bose Systems
L. Pollet, N. V. Prokof'ev, B. V. Svistunov +1
We prove the absence of a direct quantum phase transition between a superfluid and a Mott insulator in a bosonic system with generic, bounded disorder. We also prove compressibilit…
Binding of a 3He impurity to a screw dislocation in solid 4He
P. Corboz, L. Pollet, N. V. Prokof'ev +1
Using first-principle simulations for the probability density of finding a 3He atom in the vicinity of the screw dislocation in solid 4He, we determine the binding energy to the di…
Search for Deconfined Criticality: SU(2) Déjà Vu
A. B. Kuklov, M. Matsumoto, N. V. Prokof'ev +2
Monte Carlo simulations of the SU(2)-symmetric deconfined critical point action reveal strong violations of scale invariance for the deconfinement transition. We find compelling ev…
Superfluidity of Grain Boundaries in Solid Helium-4
L. Pollet, M. Boninsegni, A. B. Kuklov +3
By large-scale quantum Monte Carlo simulations we show that grain boundaries in Helium-4 crystals are generically superfluid at low temperature, with a transition temperature of th…
