Bulk-Defect Correspondence in Algebraic Classical Spin Liquids

Rafael Flores-Calderón

Local constraints in algebraic classical spin liquids give rise to singular momentum-space correlations. This so called pinch-point singularity carries a momentum-space winding num…

Non-Abelian Anyon Condensation: a Path-Integral Monte Carlo Approach

Rafael Flores-Calderón, Frank Pollmann, Michael Knap

Transitions out of non-Abelian topological order are difficult to describe in microscopic quantum models with numerical methods that remain tractable at large scales. We develop a…

Non-invertible Lattice 1-Form Symmetries for Non-Abelian Topological Order

Rafael Flores-Calderón, Frank Pollmann, Michael Knap

Higher-form symmetries generalize conventional global symmetries and act on lower-dimensional submanifolds of a quantum system. While Abelian topological phases can be organized by…

Evidence for spontaneous breaking of a continuous symmetry at a non-conformal quantum critical point in one dimension

R. Flores-Calderón, M. Zündel

In this work, we present numerical evidence for the spontaneous breaking of a continuous symmetry in a nearest-neighbor interacting spin-1 chain at a quantum critical point…

Unconventional Spin Dynamics and Supersolid Excitations in the Triangular-Lattice XXZ Model

Rafael Flores-Calderón, Roderich Moessner, Frank Pollmann

Motivated by recent experiments, we investigate the spin-1/2 XXZ model on the triangular lattice with strong Ising anisotropy, combining large-scale numerical simulations and analy…

Effective field theory of the quantum skyrmion Hall effect

Vinay Patil, Rafael Flores-Calderón, Ashley M. Cook

Motivated by phenomenology of myriad recently-identified topologically non-trivial phases of matter, we introduce effective field theories (EFTs) for the quantum skyrmion Hall effe…

Higgs Phases and Boundary Criticality

Kristian Tyn Kai Chung, Rafael Flores-Calderón, Rafael C. Torres +3

Motivated by recent work connecting Higgs phases to symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases, we investigate the interplay of gauge redundancy and global symmetry in lattice gau…

Time-reversal invariant finite-size topology

R. Flores-Calderón, Roderich Moessner, Ashley M. Cook

We report finite-size topology in the quintessential time-reversal (TR) invariant systems, the quantum spin Hall insulator (QSHI) and the three-dimensional, strong topological insu…
