Cooper quartets and fractional vortices in frustrated Josephson junction dice arrays

Erik Lennart Weerda, Olav F. Syljuåsen, Matteo Rizzi +1

Superconductivity mediated by Cooper quartets of charge 4e is a phenomenon of key importance for both the understanding of certain exotic superconductors and the engineering of qua…

Efficient optimization and conceptual barriers in variational finite Projected Entangled-Pair States

Daniel Alcalde Puente, Erik Lennart Weerda, Konrad Schröder +1

Projected entangled pair states (PEPS) on finite two-dimensional lattices are a natural ansatz for representing ground states of local many-body Hamiltonians, as they inherently sa…

Triangular lattice models of the Kalmeyer-Laughlin spin liquid from coupled wires

Tingyu Gao, Niklas Tausendpfund, Erik L. Weerda +3

Chiral spin liquids (CSLs) are exotic phases of interacting spins in two dimensions, characterized by long-range entanglement and fractional excitations. We construct a local Hamil…

An extended non-magnetic phase in the spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet from the ruby to the maple-leaf lattice

Philipp Schmoll, Jan Naumann, Erik Lennart Weerda +2

The spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the two-dimensional ruby and maple-leaf lattices provides a stringent test case for frustrated quantum magnetism, where semiclassical mag…

Fractional quantum Hall states with variational Projected Entangled-Pair States: a study of the bosonic Harper-Hofstadter model

Erik Lennart Weerda, Matteo Rizzi

An important class of model Hamiltonians for investigation of topological phases of matter consists of mobile, interacting particles on a lattice subject to a semi-classical gauge…

An introduction to infinite projected entangled-pair state methods for variational ground state simulations using automatic differentiation

Jan Naumann, Erik Lennart Weerda, Matteo Rizzi +2

Tensor networks capture large classes of ground states of phases of quantum matter faithfully and efficiently. Their manipulation and contraction has remained a challenge over the…
