Entropic Order
Yiqiu Han, Xiaoyang Huang, Zohar Komargodski +2
Ordered phases of matter, such as solids, ferromagnets, superfluids, or quantum topological order, typically only exist at low temperatures. Despite this conventional wisdom, we pr…

Entanglement Transitions in Noisy Quantum Circuits on Trees
Vikram Ravindranath, Yiqiu Han, Xiao Chen
Decoherence is ubiquitous, and poses a significant impediment to the observation of quantum phenomena, such as the measurement-induced entanglement phase transition (MIPT). In this…

Exponentially slow thermalization in 1D fragmented dynamics
Cheng Wang, Shankar Balasubramanian, Yiqiu Han +3
We investigate the thermalization dynamics of 1D systems with local constraints coupled to an infinite temperature bath at one boundary. The coupling to the bath eventually erases…
