The "Moiré Capacitor Effect" and Stabilization of Fractional Chern Insulators in Rhombohedral Graphene Superlattices

Nicolas Regnault, Heqiu Li, Yves H. Kwan +2

While the necessity of a moiré potential for fractional Chern insulators (FCIs) in rhombohedral graphene-hBN superlattices, first predicted in Ref. 1, is now grounded in experiment…

Breakdown of Monotonic Impurity Entropy Flow in -Symmetric Multichannel Kondo Systems

Pradip Kattel, Abay Zhakenov, Natan Andrei

We study a -symmetric non-Hermitian multichannel Kondo model consisting of a pair of spin- impurities coupled to conduction-electron channels through com…

Monotonic and non-Nonmonotonic Impurity Entropy flows in a -Symmetric Kondo Model

Pradip Kattel, Abay Zhakenov, Natan Andrei

Quantum impurity models provide a paradigmatic setting for studying Kondo screening, boundary criticality, and impurity entropy. While these phenomena are well understood in unitar…

Exact Dynamics of Topological Order Across a CDW--SPT Transition

Pradip Kattel, Yicheng Tang, Natan Andrei

We investigate the nonequilibrium dynamics of a one-dimensional interacting system across a transition from a charge-density-wave (CDW) phase to a symmetry-protected topological (S…

Isospectrality and Operator Complexity

Pradip Kattel, Yicheng Tang, Natan Andrei

We study a pair of exactly solvable, isospectral fermion chains, one strongly interacting and one quadratic, that nevertheless display remarkably different phase structures and ope…

Dissipation driven phase transition in the non-Hermitian Kondo model

Pradip Kattel, Abay Zhakenov, Parameshwar R. Pasnoori +2

Non-Hermitian Hamiltonians capture several aspects of open quantum systems, such as dissipation of energy and non-unitary evolution. An example is an optical lattice where the inel…
