When is an area law not an area law?

Anushya Chandran, Chris Laumann, Rafael D. Sorkin

Entanglement entropy is typically proportional to area, but sometimes it acquires an additional logarithmic pre-factor. We offer some intuitive explanations for these facts.

Finite size scaling bounds on many-body localized phase transitions

A. Chandran, C. R. Laumann, V. Oganesyan

Quantum phase transitions are usually observed in ground states of correlated systems. Remarkably, eigenstate phase transitions can also occur at finite energy density in disordere…

Interaction stabilized steady states in the driven O(N) model

Anushya Chandran, Shivaji. L. Sondhi

We study periodically driven bosonic scalar field theories in the infinite N limit. It is well-known that the free theory can undergo parametric resonance under monochromatic modul…

Emergent Coulombic criticality and Kibble-Zurek scaling in a topological magnet

James Hamp, Anushya Chandran, Roderich Moessner +1

When a classical system is driven through a continuous phase transition, its nonequilibrium response is universal and exhibits Kibble-Zurek scaling. We explore this dynamical scali…

A semi-classical limit for the many-body localization transition

Anushya Chandran, C. R. Laumann

We introduce a semi-classical limit for many-body localization in the absence of global symmetries. Microscopically, this limit is realized by disordered Floquet circuits composed…
