Exploring instantons with spin-lattice systems
Sebastian Schenk, Michael Spannowsky
Instanton processes are present in a variety of quantum field theories relevant to high energy as well as condensed matter physics. While they have led to important theoretical ins…
Observing the fate of the false vacuum with a quantum laboratory
Steven Abel, Michael Spannowsky
We design and implement a quantum laboratory to experimentally observe and study dynamical processes of quantum field theories. Our approach encodes the field theory as an Ising mo…
Fifth forces, Higgs portals and broken scale invariance
Clare Burrage, Edmund J. Copeland, Peter Millington +1
We study the relationship between the strength of fifth forces and the origin of scale breaking in the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. We start with a light scalar field t…
