Deterministic Loop Stochastic Series Expansion Algorithm for Quantum Spin Models in Magnetic Fields

Liuyun Dao, Yan-Cheng Wang, Hui Shao

The stochastic series expansion (SSE) algorithm is one of the most powerful quantum Monte Carlo methods and has been extensively applied to the study of quantum many body systems.…

Multiscale Excitations in the Diluted Two-dimensional S = 1/2 Heisenberg Antiferromagnet

Liuyun Dao, Hui Shao, Anders W. Sandvik

We study the excitation spectrum of the Heisenberg model on the randomly diluted square lattice by analytic continuation of QMC data. At dilution fractions and $p=…

SO(5) multicriticality in two-dimensional quantum magnets

Jun Takahashi, Hui Shao, Bowen Zhao +2

We resolve the nature of the quantum phase transition between a Néel antiferromagnet and a valence-bond solid in two-dimensional spin-1/2 magnets. We study a class of - model…

Primary and Secondary Order Parameters in the Fully Frustrated Transverse Field Ising Model on the Square Lattice

Gabe Schumm, Hui Shao, Wenan Guo +2

Using quantum Monte Carlo simulations and field-theory arguments, we study the fully frustrated (Villain) transverse-field Ising model on the square lattice. We consider a "primary…

Monte Carlo Renormalization Flows in the Space of Relevant and Irrelevant Operators: Application to Three-Dimensional Clock Models

Hui Shao, Wenan Guo, Anders W. Sandvik

We present a way to visualize and quantify renormalization group flows in a space of observables computed using Monte Carlo simulations. We apply the method to classical three-dime…

Confinement in the bulk, deconfinement on the wall: infrared equivalence between compactified QCD and quantum magnets

Tin Sulejmanpasic, Hui Shao, Anders W. Sandvik +1

In a spontaneously dimerized quantum antiferromagnet, spin-1/2 excitations (spinons) are confined in pairs by strings akin to those confining quarks in non-abelian gauge theories.…
