Spin models from nonlinear cellular automata

Konstantinos Sfairopoulos, Luke Causer, Jamie F. Mair +2

We study classical and quantum spin models derived from one-dimensional cellular automata (CA) with nonlinear update rules, focusing on rules 30, 54 and 201. We argue that the clas…

The quantum Newman-Moore model in a longitudinal field

Konstantinos Sfairopoulos, Juan P. Garrahan

We study the quantum Newman-Moore model, or quantum triangular plaquette model (qTPM), in the presence of a longitudinal field (qTPMz). We present evidence that indicates that the…

Cellular automata in dimensions and ground states of spin models in dimensions

Konstantinos Sfairopoulos, Luke Causer, Jamie F. Mair +1

We show how the trajectories of -dimensional cellular automata (CA) can be used to determine the ground states of -dimensional classical spin models, and we characterise…

Boundary conditions dependence of the phase transition in the quantum Newman-Moore model

Konstantinos Sfairopoulos, Luke Causer, Jamie F. Mair +1

We study the triangular plaquette model (TPM, also known as the Newman-Moore model) in the presence of a transverse magnetic field on a lattice with periodic boundaries in both spa…

Multicriticality in stochastic dynamics protected by self-duality

Konstantinos Sfairopoulos, Luke Causer, Juan P. Garrahan

We study the dynamical large deviations (LD) of a class of one-dimensional kinetically constrained models whose (tilted) generators can be mapped into themselves via duality transf…

Dynamics of Baxter-Wu model

Chen Tang, Konstantinos Sfairopoulos, Wanzhou Zhang +1

Using Monte Carlo simulations, we investigate the dynamical properties of the Baxter-Wu (BW) model under linear quenches. For the linear cooling process, the scaling behavior of th…
