Finite-Volume Energy Spectrum, Fractionalized Strings, and Low-Energy Effective Field Theory for the Quantum Dimer Model on the Square Lattice
D. Banerjee, M. B"ogli, C. P. Hofmann +3
We present detailed analytic calculations of finite-volume energy spectra, mean field theory, as well as a systematic low-energy effective field theory for the square lattice quant…
Two-dimensional Lattice Gauge Theories with Superconducting Quantum Circuits
D. Marcos, P. Widmer, E. Rico +4
A quantum simulator of U(1) lattice gauge theories can be implemented with superconducting circuits. This allows the investigation of confined and deconfined phases in quantum link…
Interfaces, Strings, and a Soft Mode in the Square Lattice Quantum Dimer Model
D. Banerjee, M. Bögli, C. P. Hofmann +3
The quantum dimer model on the square lattice is equivalent to a gauge theory. Quantum Monte Carlo calculations reveal that, for values of the Rokhsar-Kivelson (RK) coupling…
Crystalline Confinement
D. Banerjee, P. Widmer, F. -J. Jiang +1
We show that exotic phases arise in generalized lattice gauge theories known as quantum link models in which classical gauge fields are replaced by quantum operators. While these q…
The (2+1)-d U(1) Quantum Link Model Masquerading as Deconfined Criticality
D. Banerjee, F. -J. Jiang, P. Widmer +1
The -d U(1) quantum link model is a gauge theory, amenable to quantum simulation, with a spontaneously broken SO(2) symmetry emerging at a quantum phase transition. Its low-…
