Logarithmic corrections to bulk and surface criticality in a three-dimensional quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnet

Xuyang Liang, Xiao-Chuan Wu, Zenan Liu +3

At the bulk upper critical dimension, marginally irrelevant interactions generate multiplicative logarithmic corrections to mean-field scaling. While these corrections are well und…

Corner Charge Fluctuations in Higher Dimensions

Xiao-Chuan Wu, Pok Man Tam, Xuyang Liang +4

Measuring charge fluctuations within a subregion provides a powerful probe of quantum many-body systems. In two spatial dimensions, the shape dependence of the dimensionless corner…

Lee--Yang Zeros and Pseudocritical Drift in J-Q Néel Antiferromagnet--Valence-Bond Solid Transitions

Chunhao Guo, Zhe Wang, Danhe Wang +3

Square-lattice J-Q models provide a sign-problem-free setting for probing the quantum phase transition between Néel antiferromagnet and columnar valence-bond solid. We analyze this…

Mixed-State Phase Transitions in Measurement-Dressed Imaginary-Time Evolution

Yi-Ming Ding, Zenan Liu, Xu Tian +3

Motivated by the ubiquity of decoherence in quantum hardware and the growing role of imaginary-time evolution (ITE) in quantum algorithms, we investigate how many-body correlations…

Scaling of the disorder operator at (3+1)D O(3) quantum criticality

Xuyang Liang, Xiao-Chuan Wu, Zenan Liu +3

The disorder operator, as an easily measured nonlocal observable, displays great potential in detecting intrinsic information of field theories. It has been systematically studied…

Boundary Renormalization Group Flow of Entanglement Entropy at a (2+1)-Dimensional Quantum Critical Point

Zhiyan Wang, Zhe Wang, Yi-Ming Ding +3

We investigate the second-order Rényi entanglement entropy at the quantum critical point of a spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on a columnar dimerized square lattice. Th…

Bipartite entanglement and surface criticality: The extra contribution of non-ordinary edge in entanglement

Yanzhang Zhu, Zenan Liu, Zhe Wang +2

Recent works on the scaling behaviors of entanglement entropy at the SO(5) deconfined quantum critical point (DQCP) sparked a huge controversy. Different bipartitions gave out tota…

Detecting underlying symmetry-protected topological phases via strange correlators and edge engineering

Zhe Wang, Longye Lu, Shang-Qiang Ning +4

The vast majority of symmetry-protected topological (SPT) states are difficult to detect, which often leads to their misidentification as ordinary or topologically trivial phases.…

Spontaneous continuous-symmetry breaking and tower of states in a comb chain

Jingya Wang, Zenan Liu, Bin-Bin Mao +4

Based on the study of a one-dimensional (1D) antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on a comb lattice, this work identifies an example of spontaneous continuous symmetry breaking in a…

Complete finite-size scaling theory of Renyi thermal entropy for second, first and weak first order quantum phase transitions

Zhe Wang, Yanzhang Zhu, Yi-Ming Ding +2

Establishing the nature of a quantum phase transition in finite-size simulations -- whether continuous, first-order, or weak first-order -- is a fundamental challenge in quantum ma…

Worldline deconfinement and emergent long-range interaction in the entanglement Hamiltonian and in the entanglement spectrum

Zenan Liu, Zhe Wang, Dao-Xin Yao +1

The entanglement spectrum (ES) is a powerful tool for probing topological phases. While its behavior in gapped systems is well understood, its properties in gapless regimes remain…

Universal Behavior in Entanglement Entropy Reveals Quantum Criticality and Underlying Symmetry Breaking

Zhe Wang, Zehui Deng, Zenan Liu +5

Entanglement plays a key role in quantum physics, but how much information it can extract from many-body systems is still an open question, particularly regarding quantum criticali…

Surface phase transitions in a (1+1)-dimensional conformal field theory boundary coupled to a (2+1)-dimensional bulk

Zhe Wang, Shang-Qiang Ning, Zenan Liu +4

We design a (2+1))-dimensional [(2+1)D] quantum spin model in which spin-1/2 ladders are coupled through antiferromagnetic Ising interactions. The model hosts a quantum phase trans…
