SO (5) Deconfined Phase Transition under the Fuzzy-Sphere Microscope: Approximate Conformal Symmetry, Pseudo-Criticality, and Operator Spectrum

Z Zhou, L Hu, W Zhu, YC He - Physical Review X, 2024 - APS
The deconfined quantum critical point (DQCP) is an example of phase transitions beyond
the Landau symmetry-breaking paradigm that attracts wide interest. However, its nature has …

Scaling of entanglement entropy at deconfined quantum criticality

J Zhao, YC Wang, Z Yan, M Cheng, ZY Meng - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
We develop a nonequilibrium increment method to compute the Rényi entanglement
entropy and investigate its scaling behavior at the deconfined critical (DQC) point via large …

Lattice Realization of Complex Conformal Field Theories: Two-Dimensional Potts Model with States

JL Jacobsen, KJ Wiese - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
The two-dimensional Q-state Potts model with real couplings has a first-order transition for
Q> 4. We study a loop-model realization in which Q is a continuous parameter. This model …

Reclaiming the lost conformality in a non-Hermitian quantum 5-state potts model

Y Tang, H Ma, Q Tang, YC He, W Zhu - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
Conformal symmetry, emerging at critical points, can be lost when renormalization group
fixed points collide. Recently, it was proposed that after collisions, real fixed points transition …

Note on Wess-Zumino-Witten models and quasiuniversality in dimensions

A Nahum - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
We suggest the possibility that the two-dimensional SU (2) k Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW)
theory, which has global SO (4) symmetry, can be continued to 2+ ε dimensions by enlarging …

The teaching from entanglement: 2D SU (2) antiferromagnet to valence bond solid deconfined quantum critical points are not conformal

Y Da Liao, G Pan, W Jiang, Y Qi, ZY Meng - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2023 - arxiv.org
The deconfined quantum critical point (DQCP)--the enigmatic incarnation of the quantum
phase transition beyond the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson paradigm of symmetries and their …

Consistent scaling exponents at the deconfined quantum-critical point

AW Sandvik, B Zhao - Chinese Physics Letters, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
We report a quantum Monte Carlo study of the phase transition between antiferromagnetic
and valence-bond solid ground states in the square-lattice S= 1/2 J–Q model. The critical …

Fixed point annihilation for a spin in a fluctuating field

A Nahum - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
A quantum spin impurity coupled to a gapless free field (the Bose-Kondo model) can be
represented as a (0+ 1)-dimensional field theory with long-range-in-time interactions that …

Complex fixed points of the non-Hermitian Kondo model in a Luttinger liquid

SE Han, DJ Schultz, YB Kim - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
Non-Hermitian physics in open quantum many-body systems provides novel opportunities
for the discovery of exotic quantum phenomena unexpected in Hermitian systems. A …
