Synthetic horizons in an atomic chain: Horizon-induced effects and connections to quantum Hall systems
Ali G. Moghaddam, Viktor Könye, Lotte Mertens +2
We investigate the sine model, a one-dimensional tight-binding Hamiltonian with position-dependent sinusoidal hopping, and demonstrate the formation of synthetic horizons where ele…

Superluminal signalling witness for quantum state reduction
Aritro Mukherjee, Lisa Lenstra, Lotte Mertens +1
Models for quantum state reduction address the quantum measurement problem by suggesting weak modifications to Schrödinger's equation that have no observable effect at microscopic…

Two-dimensional Discommensurations: an extension to McMillan's Ginzburg-Landau Theory
Lotte Mertens, Jeroen van den Brink, Jasper van Wezel
Charge density waves (CDW) profoundly affect the electronic properties of materials and have an intricate interplay with other collective states, like superconductivity and magneti…
