Thermal melting of discrete time crystals: a dynamical phase transition induced by thermal fluctuations
Mingxi Yue, Xiaoqin Yang, Zi Cai
The stability of a discrete time crystal against thermal fluctuations has been studied numerically by solving a stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation of a periodically-driven…
A power-law universality class out of stochastic driving in interacting systems
Zi Cai
In this paper, we study the mean-field dynamics of a general class of many-body systems with stochastically fluctuating interactions. Our findings reveal a universal algebraic deca…
Constraint-induced breaking and restoration of ergodicity in spin-1 PXP models
Bhaskar Mukherjee, Zi Cai, W. Vincent Liu
Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis(ETH) has played a pivotal role in understanding ergodicity and its breaking in isolated quantum many-body systems. Recent experiment on 51-atom…
Order by disorder in frustration-free systems: a Quantum Monte Carlo study of a two-dimensional PXP model
Mingxi Yue, Zijian Wang, Bhaskar Mukherjee +1
In this study, an order by disorder mechanism has been proposed in a two-dimensional PXP model, where the extensive degeneracy of the classical ground-state manifold is due to stri…
Symmetry protected topological edge modes and emergent partial time reversal symmetry breaking in open quantum many-body systems
Zijian Wang, Qiaoyi Li, Wei Li +1
Symmetry-protected topological edge modes are one of the most remarkable phenomena in topological physics. Here, we formulate and quantitatively examine the effect of a quantum bat…
