Performance of the rigorous renormalization group for first order phase transitions and topological phases
Maxwell Block, Johannes Motruk, Snir Gazit +4
Expanding and improving the repertoire of numerical methods for studying quantum lattice models is an ongoing focus in many-body physics. While the density matrix renormalization g…
Quasiperiodic Floquet-Thouless energy pump
Frederik Nathan, Rongchun Ge, Snir Gazit +2
Recent work [M. H. Kolodrubetz et al, PRL 120, 150601] has demonstrated that periodically driven one-dimensional fermionic systems can support quantized energy pumping resulting fr…
Assessment of Reward Functions for Reinforcement Learning Traffic Signal Control under Real-World Limitations
Alvaro Cabrejas-Egea, Shaun Howell, Maksis Knutins +1
Adaptive traffic signal control is one key avenue for mitigating the growing consequences of traffic congestion. Incumbent solutions such as SCOOT and SCATS require regular and tim…
Superuniversality from disorder at two-dimensional topological phase transitions
Byungmin Kang, S. A. Parameswaran, Andrew C. Potter +2
We investigate the effects of quenched randomness on topological quantum phase transitions in strongly interacting two-dimensional systems. We focus first on transitions driven by…
Evidence for deconfined gauge theory at the transition between toric code and double semion
Maxime Dupont, Snir Gazit, Thomas Scaffidi
Building on quantum Monte Carlo simulations, we study the phase diagram of a one-parameter Hamiltonian interpolating between trivial and topological Ising paramagnets in two dimens…
Quantum phase transitions of tri-layer excitons in atomically thin heterostructures
Yevgeny Slobodkin, Yotam Mazuz-Harpaz, Sivan Refaely-Abramson +3
We determine the zero temeperature phase diagram of excitons in the symmetric transition-metal dichalcogenide tri-layer heterosctructure WSe2/MoSe2/WSe2. First principle calculatio…
