The topological θ-angle in gauge theories engenders a series of fundamental phenomena, including violations of charge-parity (CP) symmetry, dynamical topological transitions, and …
Novel critical phenomena beyond the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson paradigm have been long sought after. Among many candidate scenarios, the deconfined quantum critical point …
We study the R\'enyi entanglement entropy (EE) of the two-dimensional $ J $-$ Q $ model, the emblematic quantum spin model of deconfined criticality at the phase transition between …
We resolve the nature of the quantum phase transition between a N\'eel antiferromagnet and a valence-bond solid in two-dimensional spin-1/2 magnets. We study a class of $ J $-$ Q …
We study the triangular plaquette model (TPM), also known as the Newman-Moore model, in the presence of a transverse magnetic field on a lattice with periodic boundaries in both …
The presence of nearby conformal field theories (CFTs) hidden in the complex plane of the tuning parameter was recently proposed as an elegant explanation for the ubiquity of …
We study the edge physics of the deconfined quantum phase transition (DQCP) between a spontaneous quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulator and a spin-singlet superconductor (SC) …
The classical J 1− J 2 Ising model on the square lattice is a minimal model of frustrated magnetism whose phase boundaries have remained under scrutiny for decades. Signs of …

Deconfined quantum criticality (DQC) arises from fractionalization of quasi-particles and leads to fascinating behaviors beyond the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson (LGW) description of …
