topological order in the quantum dimer-pentamer model
Owen Myers, C. M. Herdman
We introduce the quantum dimer-pentamer model (QDPM) on the square lattice. This model is a generalization of the square lattice quantum dimer model as its configuration space comp…
Relaxation dynamics of the toric code in contact with a thermal reservoir: Finite-size scaling in a low temperature regime
C. Daniel Freeman, C. M. Herdman, Dylan J Gorman +1
We present an analysis of the relaxation dynamics of finite-size topological qubits in contact with a thermal bath. Using a continuous-time Monte Carlo method, we explicitly comput…
Quantum Monte Carlo measurement of the chemical potential of helium-4
C. M. Herdman, A. Rommal, A. Del Maestro
A path integral Monte Carlo method based on the worm algorithm has been developed to compute the chemical potential of interacting bosonic quantum fluids. By applying it to finite-…
Entanglement Entropy at Generalized Rokhsar-Kivelson Points of Quantum Dimer Models
Alexander Selem, C. M. Herdman, K. Birgitta Whaley
We study the R\' enyi entanglement entropy of the triangular quantum dimer model via Monte Carlo sampling of Rokhsar-Kivelson(RK)-like ground state wavefunctions. Using the c…
Loop condensation in the triangular lattice quantum dimer model
C. M. Herdman, K. B. Whaley
We study the mechanism of loop condensation in the quantum dimer model on the triangular lattice. The triangular lattice quantum dimer model displays a topologically ordered quantu…
