Fractionalized Quantum Critical Points
Groundstates of certain materials can support exotic excitations with a charge that’s a fraction of the fundamental electron charge. The condensation of these fractionalized particles has been predicted to drive novel quantum phase transitions, which haven’t yet been observed in realistic systems. Through numerical and theoretical analysis of a physical model of interacting lattice bosons, we e...
متن کاملDeconfined quantum critical points.
The theory of second-order phase transitions is one of the foundations of modern statistical mechanics and condensed-matter theory. A central concept is the observable order parameter, whose nonzero average value characterizes one or more phases. At large distances and long times, fluctuations of the order parameter(s) are described by a continuum field theory, and these dominate the physics ne...
متن کاملUniversal entanglement entropy in two-dimensional conformal quantum critical points
We study the scaling behavior of the entanglement entropy of two-dimensional conformal quantum critical systems, i.e., systems with scale-invariant wave functions. They include two-dimensional generalized quantum dimer models on bipartite lattices and quantum loop models, as well as the quantum Lifshitz model and related gauge theories. We show that under quite general conditions, the entanglem...
متن کاملUniversal relaxational dynamics near two-dimensional quantum-critical points
We describe the nonzero temperature (T ), low frequency (ω) dynamics of the order parameter near quantum critical points in two spatial dimensions (d), with a special focus on the regime h̄ω ≪ kBT . For the case of a ‘relativistic’, O(n)-symmetric, bosonic quantum field theory we show that, for small ǫ = 3 − d, the dynamics is described by an effective classical model of waves with a quartic int...
متن کاملQuantum Critical Points in Quantum Impurity Systems
The numerical renormalization group method is used to investigate zero temperature phase transitions in quantum impurity systems, in particular in the soft-gap Anderson model, where an impurity couples to a non-trivial fermionic bath. In this case, zero temperature phase transitions occur between two different phases whose fixed points can be built up of non-interacting single-particle states. ...
