Quantum critical fan and emergent relativistic symmetry of two-dimensional Dirac semimetals

Friederike Ihssen, Bilal Hawashin, Mireia Tolosa-Simeón +1

Two-dimensional Dirac semimetals near a quantum critical point can be described by Gross--Neveu--Yukawa models. In view of recent experimental advances exhibiting a transition from…

Discrete holography and density of states in the crossover from hyperbolic to Euclidean lattices

Mireia Tolosa-Simeón, Igor Boettcher

We study tight-binding models in the crossover from hyperbolic to Euclidean lattices, realized through the successive insertion of Euclidean defects into hyperbolic lattices. We an…

Relativistic Mott transitions and finite-temperature effects of quantum criticality in Dirac semimetals

Mireia Tolosa-Simeón, Laura Classen, Michael M. Scherer

Gross-Neveu-Yukawa-type models such as the chiral Ising, chiral XY, and chiral Heisenberg models, serve as effective descriptions of two-dimensional Dirac semi-metals undergoing qu…

Experimental particle production in time-dependent spacetimes: a one-dimensional scattering problem

Marius Sparn, Elinor Kath, Nikolas Liebster +7

We experimentally study cosmological particle production in a two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate, whose density excitations map to an analog cosmology. The expansion of space…

Cosmological particle production in a quantum field simulator as a quantum mechanical scattering problem

Christian F. Schmidt, Álvaro Parra-López, Mireia Tolosa-Simeón +7

The production of quantum field excitations or particles in cosmological spacetimes is a hallmark prediction of curved quantum field theory. The generation of cosmological perturba…

Analog of cosmological particle production in Dirac materials

Mireia Tolosa-Simeón, Michael M. Scherer, Stefan Floerchinger

Two-dimensional van der Waals materials have recently been established experimentally as a highly-tunable condensed matter platform, facilitating the controlled manipulation of ban…

Curved and expanding spacetime geometries in Bose-Einstein condensates

Mireia Tolosa-Simeón, Álvaro Parra-López, Natalia Sánchez-Kuntz +9

Phonons have the characteristic linear dispersion relation of massless relativistic particles. They arise as low energy excitations of Bose-Einstein condensates and, in nonhomogene…

Scalar quantum fields in cosmologies with 2+1 spacetime dimensions

Natalia Sánchez-Kuntz, Álvaro Parra-López, Mireia Tolosa-Simeón +2

Motivated by the possibility to use Bose-Einstein condensates as quantum simulators for spacetime curvature, we study a massless relativistic scalar quantum field in spatially curv…

Quantum field simulator for dynamics in curved spacetime

Celia Viermann, Marius Sparn, Nikolas Liebster +9

The observed large-scale structure in our Universe is seen as a result of quantum fluctuations amplified by spacetime evolution. This, and related problems in cosmology, asks for a…
