Toward Hamiltonian simulations of Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory: constant modes and gauge field truncation

Andrea Bulgarelli, Maria Cristina Diamantini, Nico Dichter +6

Maxwell-Chern-Simons (MCS) theory in dimensions provides a paradigmatic example of a topological gauge theory with both dynamical and topological degrees of freedom. Its Eucl…

A scalable flow-based approach to mitigate topological freezing

Claudio Bonanno, Andrea Bulgarelli, Elia Cellini +4

As lattice gauge theories with non-trivial topological features are driven towards the continuum limit, standard Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulations suffer for topological freezin…

Computing quantum entanglement with machine learning

Andrea Bulgarelli, Elia Cellini, Karl Jansen +5

Entanglement calculations in quantum field theories are extremely challenging and typically rely on the replica trick, where the problem is rephrased in a study of defects. We demo…

Casimir effect in critical models from non-equilibrium Monte Carlo simulations

Andrea Bulgarelli, Michele Caselle, Alessandro Nada +1

vector models in three dimensions, when defined in a geometry with a compact direction and tuned to criticality, exhibit long-range fluctuations which induce a Casi…
