Gapped Parent Hamiltonians for the Strongly Deformed Toric Code
Nandagopal Manoj, Zack Weinstein, Jason Alicea
Local non-unitary deformations of topologically ordered wavefunctions can drive transitions into peculiar states that challenge modern perspectives on gapped quantum matter. The st…
Long-range deformations in Gaussian States
Francisco Pereira, Nandagopal Manoj, Sara Murciano
Imaginary-time evolution by a local Hamiltonian cannot induce a phase transition in one dimension, but longer-range interactions may subvert such constraints. Starting from the gro…
Non-Fermi liquid and Weyl superconductivity from the weakly interacting 3D electron gas at high magnetic fields
Nandagopal Manoj, Valerio Peri, Jason Alicea
Three-dimensional electron gases in strong magnetic fields host partially flat bands that disperse along the field direction yet exhibit Landau-level quantization in the transverse…
Non-commutative effective field theory of the lowest Landau level superfluid
Nandagopal Manoj
A 2+1D superfluid in a rapidly rotating trap forms an array of vortices, with collective excitations called Tkachenko modes. Du et al. (2024) argued from an effective field theory…
Probing Defects with Quantum Simulator Snapshots
Abhijat Sarma, Nayan Myerson-Jain, Yue Liu +4
Snapshots, i.e. projective measurements of local degrees of freedom, are the most standard data taken in experiments on quantum simulators. Snapshots are usually used to probe loca…
