Revisiting the replica trick: Competition between spin glass and conventional order
Christopher L. Baldwin, Brian Swingle
There is an ambiguity in how to apply the replica trick to spin glass models which have additional order parameters unrelated to spin glass order -- with respect to which quantitie…
Spectral statistics of a minimal quantum glass model
Richard Barney, Michael Winer, Christopher L. Baldwin +2
Glasses have the interesting feature of being neither integrable nor fully chaotic. They thermalize quickly within a subspace but thermalize much more slowly across the full space…
Disordered Lieb-Robinson bounds in one dimension
Christopher L. Baldwin, Adam Ehrenberg, Andrew Y. Guo +1
By tightening the conventional Lieb-Robinson bounds to better handle systems which lack translation invariance, we determine the extent to which "weak links" suppress operator grow…
Quenched vs Annealed: Glassiness from SK to SYK
C. L. Baldwin, B. Swingle
We show that any SYK-like model with finite-body interactions among \textit{local} degrees of freedom, e.g., bosons or spins, has a fundamental difference from the standard fermion…
Quantum algorithm for energy matching in hard optimization problems
C. L. Baldwin, C. R. Laumann
We consider the ability of local quantum dynamics to solve the energy matching problem: given an instance of a classical optimization problem and a low energy state, find another m…
Clustering of non-ergodic eigenstates in quantum spin glasses
C. L. Baldwin, C. R. Laumann, A. Pal +1
The two primary categories for eigenstate phases of matter at finite temperature are many-body localization (MBL) and the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH). We show that i…
