Ferromagnetism from the geometry of localized wavefunctions in moiré systems

Miguel Gonçalves, Sarang Gopalakrishnan

We present a mechanism for ferromagnetism in narrow bands consisting of Anderson-localized states. We exploit single-particle localization to derive a controlled theory of exchange…

Control transition in a temporally random classical spin chain

Elisha Shmalo, J. H. Pixley, Manas Kulkarni +2

We theoretically explore a phase transition between controlled and chaotic dynamics in a classical spin chain model subject to chaotic Hamiltonian dynamics and a contractive "contr…

Spectral properties and coding transitions of Haar-random quantum codes

Grace M. Sommers, J. Alexander Jacoby, Zack Weinstein +2

A quantum error-correcting code with a nonzero error threshold undergoes a mixed-state phase transition when the error rate reaches that threshold. We explore this phase transition…

Long-Time Limits of Local Operator Entanglement in Interacting Integrable Models

J. Alexander Jacoby, Sarang Gopalakrishnan

We explore the long-time behavior of Local Operator Entanglement entropy (LOE) in finite-size interacting integrable systems. For certain operators in the Rule 54 automaton, we pro…

Scalable accuracy gains from postselection in quantum error correcting codes

Hongkun Chen, Daohong Xu, Grace M. Sommers +3

Decoding stabilizer codes such as the surface and toric codes involves evaluating free-energy differences in a disordered statistical mechanics model, in which the randomness comes…

Detecting vortex motion through spatially correlated nonequilibrium noise

Yifan F. Zhang, Rhine Samajdar, Sarang Gopalakrishnan

Resistive transport near a superconducting phase can arise from the motion of normal-state quasiparticles or that of vortices. The conductivity alone does not distinguish between t…
