Majorana-time-reversal symmetries: A fundamental principle for sign-problem-free quantum Monte Carlo simulations

ZX Li, YF Jiang, H Yao - Physical review letters, 2016 - APS
A fundamental open issue in physics is whether and how the fermion sign problem in
quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations can be solved generically. Here, we show that …

The characterization of topological properties in quantum monte carlo simulations of the kane–mele–hubbard model

ZY Meng, HH Hung, TC Lang - Modern Physics Letters B, 2014 - World Scientific
Topological insulators present a bulk gap, but allow for dissipationless spin transport along
the edges. These exotic states are characterized by the Z2 topological invariant and are …

Bona fide interaction-driven topological phase transition in correlated symmetry-protected topological states

YY He, HQ Wu, YZ You, C Xu, ZY Meng, ZY Lu - Physical Review B, 2016 - APS
It is expected that the interplay between nontrivial band topology and strong electron
correlation will lead to very rich physics. Thus a controlled study of the competition between …

Interacting Weyl semimetals: characterization via the topological Hamiltonian and its breakdown

W Witczak-Krempa, M Knap, D Abanin - Physical review letters, 2014 - APS
Weyl semimetals (WSMs) constitute a 3D phase with linearly dispersing Weyl excitations at
low energy, which lead to unusual electrodynamic responses and open Fermi arcs on …

Entanglement spectra of interacting fermions in quantum Monte Carlo simulations

FF Assaad, TC Lang, F Parisen Toldin - Physical Review B, 2014 - APS

Detecting edge degeneracy in interacting topological insulators through entanglement entropy

D Wang, S Xu, Y Wang, C Wu - Physical Review B, 2015 - APS
The existence of degenerate or gapless edge states is a characteristic feature of topological
insulators, but is difficult to detect in the presence of interactions. We propose a new method …

Strong correlation effects on topological quantum phase transitions in three dimensions

A Amaricci, JC Budich, M Capone, B Trauzettel… - Physical Review B, 2016 - APS
We investigate the role of short-ranged electron-electron interactions in a paradigmatic
model of three-dimensional topological insulators, using dynamical mean-field theory and …
