Impurity screening by defects in (1+1) quantum critical systems
Ying-Hai Wu, Yueshui Zhang, Hong-Hao Tu +1
We propose a novel mechanism of impurity screening in (1+1) quantum critical states described by conformal field theories (CFTs). An impurity can be screened if it has the same…

Symmetry-protected topological phases, conformal criticalities, and duality in exactly solvable SO() spin chains
Sreejith Chulliparambil, Hua-Chen Zhang, Hong-Hao Tu
We introduce a family of SO()-symmetric spin chains which generalize the transverse-field Ising chain for . These spin chains are defined with Gamma matrices and can be exa…
