Stable valleys in the glassy landscape of a low-density parity-check (LDPC) code
Grace M. Sommers, David A. Huse
Classical low-density parity-check (cLDPC) codes defined on expander graphs are a fundamental ingredient in the construction of good quantum LDPC codes, a recent milestone in quant…
Absorbing state transitions with discrete symmetries
Hyunsoo Ha, David A. Huse, Rhine Samajdar
Robust phases of matter, which remain stable under small perturbations, are of fundamental importance in statistical physics and quantum information. Recent advances in interactive…
Eigenstate thermalization in thermal first-order phase transitions
Maksym Serbyn, Alexander Avdoshkin, Oriana K. Diessel +1
The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) posits how isolated quantum many-body systems thermalize, assuming that individual eigenstates at the same energy density have identi…
Time evolution of the Boltzmann entropy for a nonequilibrium dilute gas
P. L. Garrido, S. Goldstein, D. A. Huse +1
We investigate the time evolution of the Boltzmann entropy of a dilute gas of N particles, N>>1, as it undergoes a free expansion doubling its volume. The microstate of the system,…
