Engineering correlated phases through manipulation of Van Hove singularities

Thomas P. Sheerin, Maria Ramirez, Chris A. Hooley +1

Controlling the ordered phases of correlated electron systems remains a central challenge in quantum materials design. Divergences in the electronic density of states, known as Van…

Counting Edge Modes with the Higher Berry Curvature: A Bulk Topological Order Parameter for Quantum Spin Chains

Adam J. McRoberts, Joe Crossley, Chris Hooley +1

We show that the higher Berry curvature (HBC) can be used to count the gapless edge modes created by an entanglement cut, and thus defines an integer-valued topological order param…

Transition between critical antiferromagnetic phases in the - spin chain

Adam J. McRoberts, Chris Hooley, A. G. Green

The - spin chain is one of the canonical models of quantum magnetism, and has long been known to host a critical antiferromagnetic phase with power-law decay of spin corr…

Stochastic resetting in discrete-time quantum dynamics: steady states and correlations in few-qubit systems

Sascha Wald, Louie Hong Yao, Thierry Platini +2

Time evolution in several classes of quantum devices is generated through the application of quantum gates. Resetting is a critical technological feature in these systems allowing…

A Generalised Haldane Map from the Matrix Product State Path Integral to the Critical Theory of the - Chain

F. Azad, Adam J. McRoberts, Chris Hooley +1

We study the - spin- chain using a path integral constructed over matrix product states (MPS). By virtue of its non-trivial entanglement structure, the MPS ansatz ca…
